This should induce criminal charges not against the software developer, it should induce charges against management and those that believed the data is enough for a conviction. Difficult case because that would also implicate judges and public prosecutors. Of course that will not happen, but they are guilty far more than Fujitsu.

I don't think the UK government has enough money to compensate the people it wrongfully convicted. It is harrowing mismanagement that the software wasn't tested immediately before any conviction. Everyone failed here aside from the postmasters themselves.
