At some point after Rebecca Thomson’s article was published, and before Seema Misra’s trial was due to start, Seema apparently “turned up” at the shop of Josephine Hamilton.
Josephine Hamilton stated in her 2nd witness statement to the inquiry;
Seema Misra (a fellow sub-postmaster) saw the computer weekly article and turned up at my shop.
I took her to my solicitor and neighbour Issy Hogg.
Excerpts from Josephine Hamilton’s 10th of February 2022 statement of truth to the post office horizon IT inquiry here
The following excerpts are taken from Seema Misra’s trial testimony (from p.136 here);
Warwick Tatford: You did some research on the internet?
Seema Misra: No, just the day before my first trial and there was like, then there was like, there was an article from a computer weekly which is like when I read the cases the same thing happen with me as well like figures doubling up, we are having losses and..
Warwick Tatford: All right. Let me just cut the matter clearly if I may because this is new information for the jury. There have been some articles about whether the Horizon system is any good or not in various magazines, is that right, that you saw prior to your…
Seema Misra: The day before my first trial
Warwick Tatford: All right. So earlier in the history of the court proceedings you were aware that other people were saying there might be a problem?
Seema Misra: Yeah, and then I read and the same thing happen with me as well when I read that incident and I remember staff saying that as well, there could be a system problem
Warwick Tatford: Fine. I fully accept that that might have given you thought about another possibility. So let us leave that on one side. What I want to understand though is why in defence statements you only talk about theft. You don’t mention until the defence statement that was served in January of this year anything in that old defence statement about Junaid, about Michael and about how there were losses from the beginning. You don’t mention anything about that at all, do you?
Seema Misra: Yeah. That is what I said. Like when I got that Javed and Nadia red handed they been nicking the money. That is what I thought that time
Warwick Tatford: But you knew, Mrs Misra, that the losses had begun in 2005 from day one?
Seema Misra: That is right, yeah
Warwick Tatford: So it could not just be down to the thieves because they were happening when you were with Junaid?
Seema Misra: I was in – I was in complete mess anyway. I was not like pinpointing what is here and what is not. I was in like whole lot of mess. I was struggling with one counter, then I like because I was struggling trying to find where more money was going so like I was trying to like created more work for me because I was going on like a complete mess. So when I got them red handed I thought like it be them who were nicking the money
Warwick Tatford: You see, I suggest, Mrs Misra, that you were setting out one defence in your interview, theft. You were setting out one defence in your first defence statement, theft by employees. You then in a second defence statement add a whole raft of detail that you knew about at the time of your Post Office interview and at the time of your first defence statement. I am suggesting that these new additions have come because you have invented them?
Seema Misra: No
Warwick Tatford: You didn’t mention them earlier because they are simply not true?
Seema Misra: I didn’t invent them. This incident happened
Warwick Tatford: You know perfectly well, do you not, that in relation to some of those things you have read in articles that the prosecution have looked carefully at other complaints, have they not, and you have been disclosed material in relation to Calendar Square because that is an objective piece of material that gives a cause for concern about Horizon. You understand all that process, do you not?
Seema Misra: Yeah
Warwick Tatford: But you understand that the Post Office at the request of you and your solicitors have fully researched other articles and other suggestions of problems? You are aware of that, are you not?
Seema Misra: Yeah, that is right
Warwick Tatford: Thank you. So is it a case of you jumping on a bandwagon when you read something that might give you a hope and adding a few extra false limbs to your defence?
Seema Misra: No. If you recall, in my, I think it was Mr Dunks’ calls, I did make the calls on that, the losses as well and when Chesterfield transfer me to Horizon that…
Warwick Tatford: Yes, but you only made calls about the £6,000 loss according to Mr Dunks
Seema Misra: And when we go into the call there isn’t the call that I have been speaking to Chesterfield for two weeks and they ask me to ring Horizon help desk. There was a call, was it not? I think so
Warwick Tatford: I suggest there may have been some sort of disagreement with your staff and that prompted you to call the helpline, but whatever the rights and wrongs of that disagreement it does not go anywhere near to explaining why you were lacking £74,000?
Nick Wallis wrongly states in his book The Great Post Office Scandal;
As Seema’s trial date of 1 June 2009 approached, various preparatory hearings took place.
Excerpt by Nick Wallis from his book The Great British Post Office Scandal published by Helen Lacey & David Chaplin of Bath publishing via kindle October 2021
Seema Misra’s trial was due to start on Tuesday the 2nd of June 2009 – this fact was established during the 15th November 2023 inquiry evidence of prosecuting lawyer Warwick Tatford.
Hornswoggler Nick Wallis’s version of events differs from what Josephine Hamilton told the inquiry, in her “statement of truth”.
Below are further excerpts from Nick Wallis’s book;
The day before her trial, a desperate Seema was searching on the internet.
One of her search queries seemed to return a lifeline. ‘I put in something like “Post Office court case help,” ’ she said, ‘and Jo came up!’ A local news website was carrying the story of Jo Hamilton’s conviction.
Seema called Davinder in excitement. They decided to try to contact Jo. Even though the Post Office had long gone, Jo was still working behind the retail counter at South Warnborough Village Stores. South Warnborough Village Stores also just happened to be open on a Sunday, serving afternoon tea. Jo remembers taking Seema’s call. ‘She kept saying, “You’ve got to help me. You’ve got to help me.” She was crying and in a terrible state.’
The two women bonded on the phone. Jo told Seema about the journalist from Computer Weekly who had put together an investigation into Horizon.
These revelations seemed extraordinary to Seema and Davinder, who believed they were the only ones having problems with Horizon, because that’s what the Post Office had told them. Seema begged Jo for help.
Realising how little time was left, Jo ran over the road to Issy’s house and told her about Seema. Issy called up the Computer Weekly article on her computer. Jo wanted to know if there was anything that could be done. When Issy later told me about this dramatic moment, she laughed. ‘It was the day before the trial. Way too late. There was literally nothing I could do. Seema wasn’t even my client. I suggested to Jo that Seema should take a copy of the magazine to court, show it to the judge and ask for an adjournment.’
Jo ran back across the road, called Seema and explained what she had to do. The next day, Seema’s barrister approached the trial judge.
Excerpts by Nick Wallis from his book The Great British Post Office Scandal published by Helen Lacey & David Chaplin of Bath publishing via kindle October 2021
The “day before” Seema Misra’s trial was Monday the 1st of June 2009.
If Nick Wallis’s version of events is true, that Seema Misra contacted Josephine Hamilton on Sunday the 31st of May 2009.
Then Seema Misra wilfully made a false statement during her trial and committed perjury.
Why does Nick Wallis’s version of events differ to Josephine Hamilton’s version of events?
And why does Nick Wallis have Josephine Hamilton running “back across the road” to phone Seema Misra, if Seema was already at Josephine Hamilton’s shop?
On the 11th of May 2009 Rebecca Thomson wrote and published an article for Computer Weeklyhere.
At some point after Rebecca Thomson’s article was published, and before her trial was due to start on Tuesday 2nd June 2009, Seema Misra apparently “turned up” at the shop of Josephine Hamilton.
Josephine Hamilton stated in her 2nd witness statement to the post office Horizon IT inquiry;
Seema Misra (a fellow sub-postmaster) saw the computer weekly article and turned up at my shop. I took her to my solicitor and neighbour Issy Hogg. Issy managed to get the trial adjourned while a computer expert was appointed.

The day before Seema Misra’s trial, was Monday the 1st of June 2009.
Seema Misra did not call the helpline “for two weeks”, like she claimed to the jury, this was another of her bare faced lies.
She first called the helpline on the 21st of February 2006 and told them she’d had problems for “the last couple of weeks”.
Javed and Nadia, her two former members of staff, had left the West Byfleet post office by February 2006.
Seema Misra did not report Javed or Nadia to either the post office or the police for any alleged thefts.
On the 8th of April 2006 Davinder Misra, Seema’s husband contacted Surrey police and reported Nadia for allegedly being an “illegal immigrant”.
On the 12th of April 2006 former employee Javed, reported Davinder Misra to Surrey police for harassment and stated that “Mr Misra had started spreading rumours around the community, telling others that Javed had stolen £2,000 from the till and was not paying it back”.
Hornswoggler Nick Wallis’s version of events differs from what Josephine Hamilton told the inquiry in her “statement of truth”.
Below are a few excerpts from Nick Wallis’s book The Great Post Office Scandal;
The day before her trial, a desperate Seema was searching on the internet.

Excerpts by Nick Wallis from his book The Great British Post Office Scandal published by Helen Lacey & David Chaplin of Bath publishing via kindle October 2021
Why does Nick Wallis’s version of events differ to Josephine Hamilton’s version of events?
Seema Misra has referenced Nick Wallis’s book in her statement to the inquiry (p.7 here).
Why would Seema Misra refer to Nick Wallis’s book in her statement, if she knew his version of events were wrong?
Why does Nick Wallis have Josephine Hamilton running “back across the road” calling Seema Misra, if Seema was already at her South Warnborough village shop?
The “day before” Seema Misra’s trial was Monday the 1st of June 2009.
If Nick Wallis’s version of events are true – that Seema Misra contacted Josephine Hamilton on Sunday the 31st of May 2009, then Seema Misra wilfully made a false statement during her trial evidence and committed perjury.
Seema Misra was quoted in a January 2024 BBC article headed Post Office scandal: The ordinary lives devastated by a faulty IT systemhere by Michael Race and Lora Jones.
Fraudster Seema Misra had stated;
They say they have so many other post offices who are doing fine, ‘it’s you having an issue’.
Seema Misra via the BBC dated 17th January 2024 here
Seema Misra did not make this allegation during her October 2010 trial.
It wasn’t until her evidence during the post office Horizon IT inquiry in 2022 that she made this allegation, in relation to one person – her area manager Elaine Ridge.
Elaine Ridge had formally suspended Seema Misra on 12th March 2008.
On 25th February 2022 during the inquiry, Seema Misra alleged that Elaine Ridge had told her during her interview “It’s just your post office we’re having issues with”.
During her trial, prosecutor Warwick Tatford asked Seema Misra about her disciplinary interview;
Did you in that interview at any stage say you were not competent to run the post office?
Prosecutor Warwick Tatford – Monday 18th October 2010 – from page 117E of trial transcripts here
Referring to April 2006, which was less than 10 months after she took over the West Byfleet post office, she told the jury;
I did to Elaine.
I said like as of mid April I just a bit lost the interest and all I doing, I didn’t do the balance properly.
I was just doing a snapshot and just putting the figures in
Seema Misra – Monday 18th October 2010 – from page 117F of trial transcripts here
Fraudster Seema Misra now contradicts her own evidence at trial and comes out with concocted statements like;
I used to be on the floor until the early hours of the morning trying to find out what went wrong, but [I] couldn’t find
Seema Misra via the BBC dated 17th January 2024 here
Yet Seema Misra told the jury during her 2010 trial;
I didn’t do any checks to check the actual cash and all that.
All I was doing print out a snapshot and entering into the system
Seema Misra – Monday 18th October 2010 – from page 73A of trial transcripts here
She also told the jury;
Well, I basically stopped doing a proper, proper check like counting and entering it as of mid 2006.
All I was doing to get this natural figure, checking the amount it should have been there and that is it entering
Seema Misra – Monday 18th October 2010 – from page 90E of trial transcripts here
She reiterated this stating;
I didn’t do any balancing as of mid 2006.
I didn’t do a proper balancing
Seema Misra – Monday 18th October 2010 – from page 90E of trial transcripts page here
The following false statement is from innocence fraudster Nick Wallis’s book The Great Post Office Scandal on embezzler and fraudster Seema Misra;
On the morning of 14 January 2008 at 8.30am two Post Office auditors, Adrian Norris and Keith Noverre, walked into the West Byfleet Post Office.
Excerpt by Nick Wallis from his book The Great British Post Office Scandal published by Helen Lacey & David Chaplin of Bath publishing via kindle October 2021
Adrian Morris (not Norris) was not an auditor, he was an investigator and he did not arrive at the post office until “about ten minutes past two in the afternoon” (Source p.62 here).
Nick Wallis also falsely states;
It was Keith Noverre who had allegedly told Seema during her first audit on 5 October 2005 that if she ‘lost’ as much as £500 in future, she would be removed from her post.
Excerpt by Nick Wallis from his book The Great British Post Office Scandal published by Helen Lacey & David Chaplin of Bath publishing via kindle October 2021
Nick Wallis’s above concoction is not based on the facts of the evidence of the case.
After checking Seema Misra’s March 2008 disciplinary interview with Elaine Ridge, following which she was formally suspended, prosecutor Warwick Tatford established that what Seema had actually said was;
I knew I would get suspended if short of £500
Seema Misra (from 12th March 2008) Source trial transcripts from page 10 here
There was no mention on any audit, or any auditor.
Warwick Tatford told the court;
That clearly may be a reference to the warning by the auditor but there is no explicit mention of the warning itself, unless I am misreading something
Statement by Warwick Tatford – Source trial transcripts from page 10 here
Seema Misra’s original statement went on to morph out of all recognition.
The auditor story was invented by Seema Misra during her trial, and has since grown arms and legs, with Nick Wallis now falsely accusing Keith Noverre.
Nick Wallis also included an allegation made for the first time during her trial;
Seema had already been told that any discrepancy larger than £500 would cost her her job
Excerpt by Nick Wallis from his book The Great British Post Office Scandal published by Helen Lacey & David Chaplin of Bath publishing via kindle October 2021
Prosecutor Warwick Tatford asked Seema about the October 2005 audit, and auditor;
Do you remember you saw Keith Noverre give evidence. Was he there?
Warwick Tatford – Source trial transcripts from page 126 here
To which Seema replied;
He was not
Seema Misra – Source trial transcripts from page 126 here
Nick Wallis also falsely stated in his book;
Neither Seema nor Davinder were present. Seema was in Luton, borrowing yet more money from her sister-in-law, which she intended to put in a rem pouch and send to the Post Office.
Excerpts by Nick Wallis from his book The Great British Post Office Scandal published by Helen Lacey & David Chaplin of Bath publishing via kindle October 2021
According to the evidence, it was Ali Raza who had opened up the post office, a few minutes after Keith Noverre had arrived.
According to Keith Noverre, Davinder Misra came along a few minutes after Ali Raza.
Nick Wallis’s statement “Seema was in Luton, borrowing yet more money from her sister-in-law” contradicts Seema’s own evidence at trial.
When asked by Warwick Tatford “how much” sister-in-law Omika Kalia was “going to bring along” Seema Misra told the jury;
I didn’t get chance to speak to them because I have to call back, come back tooffice
Seema Misra – Source trial transcripts from page 152 here
There was also no evidence that proved Seema Misra was even in Luton that morning.
The fact Seema had stated “I didn’t get the chance to speak to them” and she had to “call back” suggested she had not actually seen Omika Kalia.
Seema Misra had included a reference to Nick Wallis’s false and misleading book, in her 17th February 2022 witness statement for the biased post office horizon IT inquiry;
Screenshot of page 7 of Seema Misra’s ‘statement to the inquiry’
During the video killer Sean Toal and Scott Forbes told many outrageous lies.
The following is some dialogue between the pair of innocence fraudsters;
So the police are now driving people about
They’ve been over the wall of a crime scene
Come on anybody with any..
Scott Forbes
Is this the local police then
Sean Toal
Aye started off with the local police and then Dobbie and that arrived
He was a detective superintendent for Edinburgh
Scott Forbes
But this time the place have already let..
Sean Toal
Aye they’ve allowed people to go home covered in Jodi’s blood
Scott Forbes
And what was Dobbie’s answer to that
Sean Toal
Ah he just says ach we’ve carri.. our investigation was the finest police work that we’ve ever carried out
Scott Forbes
So there’s people there that have been involved in finding the body
They’re covered in blood
They don’t get questioned
They get drove about Dalkeith and then they pick on Luke
Sean Toal
Detective chief superintendent Craig Dobbie was not appointed as senior investigating officer until gone 03:00hrs, by which time all the family members had left the scene.
And no one was “covered in blood” like killer Sean Toal stated!
This is another intentional bare faced lie!
Alice Walker was the only person to have gone near her grand-daughter Jodi Jones’ body and Alice had said she might have touched her grand-daughters forehead.
The intentional bare faced lie about Alice Walker “cradling” her grand-daughter body was started by sadistic murderer Luke Mitchell!
Janine Jones, Steven Kelly and Alice Walker were driven directly to Newbattle police station, they were not “droveabout” Dalkeith like killer Sean Toal stated and they didn’t go home until after they had been at the police station – where they were asked questions.
Pages 806 and 807 of Janine Jones’ trial testimony describes some of what happened in the early hours of the morning of 1st July 2003;

Scammer Sandra Lean and her former boyfriend, un-convicted baby killer Billy Middleton were involved in killer Sean Toal’s public relations innocence fraud spin campaign:
In reality – killers Sean Toal and Luke Mitchell had been cohorts since at least 2010.
Sandra Lean has remained (publicly) silent since her bare faced lies, disinformation and misinformation are being exposed by trial transcripts but she recently commented on murderer Sean Toal on Facebook;
Nicola Brennan, who was referred to in Part 296here commented on Sandra’s post;
Whilst over on X Heather Brunt, who was referred to in Part 288here also tweeted on killer Sean Toal – commenting on how fraudster Scott Forbes “worked on his case”;
Tap on the button below to read more about fraudster Scott Forbes;
Killer Sean Toal also refers to himself as Social Sessions on various social media platforms, as well as @seanaldo1985 on X.
Social Sessions tweeted Neil MacKay on the 4th December 2023;
Neil MacKay was involved in the fraudulent 2021 channel 5 TV show Murder In A Small Town. Neil MacKay was referred to in Parts 261 and 265 of this ongoing blog series, both of which can be read by tapping on the buttons below;
On the 7th December 2023 killer Sean Toal asked John Halley to message him.
John Halley was arrested in March 2023 for sex offences (Read more here) and had also been promoting scammer Sandra Lean’s nonsense on social media, although he too has recently gone quiet on this.
Again – since trial transcripts have been published, Sandra Lean has remained silent

On the 5th October 2023 Joel Waldman from the STS YouTube channel spoke Shawn Rech, the director and producer of Convicting A Murderer, alongside reporter Angenette Levy.
Referring to the Netflix TV show Making A Murderer – Shawn Rech stated;
I watched it I believed it
And then I read
Two weeks later
I read an article in the New Yorker written by Kathryn Schulz
Saying ‘here’s everything they left out’
And arh it was a lot – that they left out
And then I read another story, and I think Salon or Slate by Bronwen Dickey
It was about the emotional manipulation in the filmmaking of making a murderer
So I just sort of as a fan
Arh was waiting for the response piece
I said ‘boy somebodies gonna make a slap back’
And I was making a lot of money off of Making a murderer
Because when people were done
I would be on those lists of things that you might want to consider if you
If you had a hankering for more of that type of programming
So it was good for my industry
But, but when I found out how deceptive it was
I realised it’s bad for my industry
And someone’s gotta set the record straight
So it wasn’t until two years later that erm Tom Fassbender and Ken Kratz saw Making a murderer
And they characterise it as the first time someone had exposed what they call ‘the innocence industry’
Which is a cabal of journalists, attorneys and professors
Who, you know, pop people out of prison
And then win big law suits
And erm, I didn’t know I was doing that with Andrew Hale when I made, you know A Murder In The Park
But they saw it and they said ‘we trust you with our story’
An online search throws up nothing regarding Tom Fassbender and/or Ken Kratz making a reference to “the innocence industry”.
Ken Kratz did state in his book;
Obsession with a convoluted case and the accused’s guilt or innocence is nothing new.
Some of us may remember Cleveland neurosurgeon Sam Sheppard who, in 1954, was convicted of killing his pregnant wife, Marilyn.
Speculation, often about facts not in evidence, ran rampant, both in the newspapers and on “new media”—at the time, television. Sheppard won a new trial as a result, and walked free.
Excerpts by Ken Kratz from his book Avery: The Case Against Steven Avery and What Making a Murderer Gets Wrong published in October 2019
Ken Kratz made no mention of “the innocence industry” in his book.
Where can the public read or listen to Tom Fassbender and Ken Kratz make reference to “the Innocence industry”?
Killer Barry George as Steve Francis Majors on 17th September 1981 at Nottingham’s Long Eaton stadium
Did Barry George Work For Tubitt Scaffolding For Cash In Hand
In 1981 killer Barry George duped Alan Warrener, who owned Tubitt Scaffolding, into sponsoring him.
Barry George had changed his name by deed poll to Steve Francis Majors and had allegedly posed as a stuntman.
It is not known how Barry George met Alan Warriner or if he worked for Tubitt Scaffolding around the time.
However in September 1981 Alan’s business Tubitt Scaffolding built the platform which was used by sexual predator and fraudster Barry George to roller state over four double decker buses.
Barry George had also concocted a convincing fake CV (curriculum vitae) in which he had pretended to have starred in the films Rollerball and Who Dares Wins.
The event took place in Nottingham’s Long Eaton Stadium on the 17th September 1981 and apparently over 5,000 tickets were sold.
Alan Warriner stated of Barry George;
The lad had convinced me he could do it.
He showed me photos supposedly of him doing stunts – and I honestly believed it was him.
On the day the conditions were so bad I begged him not to do the jump I thought he’d die up there.
When he finally got up on the ramp, he almost lost his nerve.
We were all terrified.
But he just pushed himself off knowing that there was no going back.
Statements by Alan Warriner of Tubbit Scaffolders – Source here
How Much Money Did Barry George’s Grift Earn Him?
It is not known how much money Barry George made from this event or if he ever attempted to sue anyone for the injuries he suffered after rolling stating over the four double decker buses.
On landing, after his roller skating stunt, it was found Barry George had dislocated his spine and had fractured a leg.
