Former Post Office investigator insists cleared Horizon IT victim was guilty

A former Post Office investigator has maintained that a branch owner-operator who had his conviction for embezzlement overturned last year was guilty. Raymond Grant, an investigator involved in the prosecution of the post office operator William Quarm who died in 2012 not knowing he would eventually be cleared years later, had to be legally forced to appear to give testimony at the public inquiry into the Horizon IT scandal. Jason Beer KC, lead counsel to the inquiry, asked Grant whether he believed Quarm, a father of five, was guilty even though his conviction was overturned by the Scottish high court last year. “Yes, I do,” Grant said.
