Was she crying when all those wrongly prosecuted were charged, fined, sent to prison etc?

Why is she crying?! Its not stopped her gaining more highly paid positions, shes not been to prison, not lost her life savings not been shunned by her friends! What right does she have to cry?????!!!

crying because she got caught

Crying because she knows what’s coming

How on earth did she get the job in the first place.

I wonder how many of her victims have cried, she should be jailed with the rest of them.

The sense of guilt. About time someone felt it

She was shunned by Vennels ...and hounded by her after she left P O

I thought it was emotion from genuine contrition. I think she came to tell the truth. The fact she stonewalled Vennells tells you something…

How’s your pension?

She is not as upset as the people on her watch went to prison, no accountability.

4 suicides....and one IT officer who is going to be questioned.

The clerk who helped her read the oath was quite compassionate, it was nice to see that in this trial.

Crocodile tears, you're fooling no one.

I thought the job title, _Chief Information_ Officer meant she'd have _information_ to hand. But no! Like virtually all the other POL employees, she can't recall that evidence of Horizon bugs crossing her desk year after year (or as she called them "faults") implied that _she,_ as head of the show should be seriously questioning the robustness of Horizon. Instead she palmed it off, like virtually all the other POL employees, as belonging to another dept., that she was busy with other stuff. And then broke into a gnashing of teeth and weeping of tears. She was an executive, apparently a grown-up woman with huge responsibilities and all we got was a dysfunctional memory and school hall stage emotion.

Having watched her entire evidence, I truly believe this poor lady was kept in the dark, then given the cold shoulder by POL. I do feel incredibly sorry for her. I’m sure she wouldn’t have taken the job in the beginning if she knew what a tangled web of deceit she was getting involved in - poor woman. Please don’t judge her on a few minutes viewing - watch her whole evidence and I’m sure you will see how distraught she is.

Crocodile tears.

What a complete pantomime her performance

Painful to watch - and I stopped watching as she had repeated episodes - is sympathy appropriate? Because I stopped watching, I don't know; but not everyone at the Post Office will have been guilty of deception, neglect, or possible corruption - and if she was on the junior side, maybe she's getting the Flak which would be more deserved by others. So - a bit of charity might not come amiss: unless those lining up to criticize her know better (and maybe they do, but rush to judgement is never a great look).

This lady struck me as someone caught up in the monstrous corporation and not an instigator. However, from her evidence, I felt that there was some sort of cover-up directive given by management that they all know about but won't mention for fear of reprisal, something that made her very uncomfortable.

Does it seem so obvious that the PO employees get anxious about telling the truth

If she was truly sorry she'd not be saying " I don't recall" in a clearly coached fashion. Perhaps if she was honest and broke rank we'd care a little. Crying in shame at her own part

Sorry now then. Vowed to tell the truth, but couldn’t remember much of it…

She’s the only one who has shown any remorse whatsoever. And if the people writing crap in these comments had actually watched the entire day’s interviews, you would know that she had the least to do with the goings on than all the others. Her emails have repeatedly asked that the PO looks onto the claims closely, and she refused to let Vennels browbeat her into changing her deposition and help with the cover up.

The importance and gravity on what she was about to be asked about hit her. Sadly the reality and implications of "telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth" had obviously been explained to her, and any questions that might incriminate her couldn't be answered because she "couldn't recall", "couldn't remember" hardly anything at all!!

She was blubbering at the beginning just taking the oath.

Nope, not buying it!

She paid her mortgage and fed her children off the backs of those poor mistreated post-masters who lost their businesses and some even went to jail… shame on her 😮

What a scumbag, no tears for all the postmasters she helped to prosecute!

Who cares she's crying

I tuned in and listened to her for approx 1 minute. In that time she "couldnt' recall" an email about an Horizon Fault ( Stamp Quantity) and then tried cover up by saying it mite be a hardware error. The description of the bug made it patently clear to any IT professional that it was a software error . I switched her off !

A lot of commenters here might like to take a look in the mirror. Mindless abuse & denunciations of these witnesses are churlish, and contemptuous. They are also pointless, spiteful and little different from the supposed behaviour of those they seek to attack. It is quite clear that this inquiry is for many of those appearing a very difficult & traumatic experience. Facing the reality of their past actions is painful and difficult, even for those who would deny their own failings. It is likely that this experience is going to be more harrowing than any possible future court appearance.

My goodness, what an actress ! Very disingenuous behaviour though : nobody would be convinced by this performance !

She should be crying for the people who killed themselves over it ,,😢

She knows she is BUSTED

Tears of guilt.

crocodile tears!

OJ simpson cried too... as he was talked down from killing himself for sawing off the head of the mother of his children. no remorse until the day he died.

Surely this was the Chief Mis-information Officer at the Post Office?

Give this woman an Oscar……..what drama……..while others went to jail & committed suicide…..despicable..

Vennells, Perkins, Van den Bogerd, Aujard, Davies all need to be criminally charged & prosecuted IMHO

Everyone in comments seem to be judging without knowing full facts. That’s when miscarriages of justice happen. Or do you know better? This lady seems pretty genuine to me. Or are you going to judge her by the same burden of proof that led to wrongful convictions? You can’t have your cake & eat it I’m afraid.

There is a place for empathy . This is a person who has testified that she would never do anything to send someone to prison unjustly . I buy itv.what I didn’t buy are the lawyers judges and barristers that failed to disclose - they knew the law . I don’t accept Angela van de B s assertion she never knowingly did anything wrong - offering a £140k staged settlement to silence a bereaved family WAS WRONG !

Massive sympathy card played here....but its no going to work.,.she still got that very contagious memory loss like the rest of them....bitterly regretting she simply cant recall those those damning emails...

Oh, please! She tries the tears all the way through 🤬!

Crocodile tears, turn it on a day.

So bored of manipulative women using tears to absolve themselves of the reality of their actions.

Will cry even more when she goes to jail

Memory blanks …did she have a breakdown? Who blocks their boss someone who is being sent to Coventry. Need more information to make a judgement.

Tears of guilt. She knew all along that the convictions were unsafe. There is no other explanation.

Was she crying at the amount of times she knew she'd be saying "I don't recall" ?

An individual so inept at her job is now realising she has been caught out.

If you have done ill (all at the Post Office) keep not an open mind, for retribution is nature’s law!

Bothered?!

Something wasn't 'right' with her testimony as, clearly, the questioners knew she was very fragile. She was head of IT, yet didn't engage with Fujitsu outside of the client managers (strange), hadn't read recent papers sent to her (lazy/why?) and exhibited a poor memory. It appears she had a tough time inside and outside work (= performance issues?), hence the softly-pedalled questions at times (?).

She needs to be given something to cry about such as 15 years for conspiring to pervert the course of justice and perjury .

Crying because prison is soon yeah ? Truth always catches up eh

Becoming a victim really paying of nowadays #MHLivingHell

Guilt pouring out ... Evil woman.

Why is upsetting to swear to tell the truth?

Call the drambulance, she’s having a drama attack!!!!

Crocodile tears! She's terrified she's getting ousted. Now you know what one hundredths of what it felt like for the post masters.

This is what happens when you make affirmative action your no1 employment strategy

The past has caught up with her

So much for *keep calm and carry on* disgusting

She is feeling vulnerable and has guilt. Its her defence mechanism to gain sympathetic response from everyone. Considering the position of responsibility she held in the PO, it really is pathetic.

Has she got to grass the boss up she is on oath

Bet she didn't cry when she got her salary.

She is very lucky not to have Mr Beer KC doing the examination.

Jail, jail, and jail !

Exposed on long makes you cry

she knows she is going to jail ,that's why she is crying

Can you imagine being vulnerable, having to depend on such people to be kind to you? I can see them in low level roles, in small towns assisting in the deportation of those poor people into the hell of the concentration camps during WW2. No doubt some would accuse me of being overly dramatic... but look at them & Vennels in particular. They are the personification of the banality of evil.

She knows what she did and should go to prison

Oh dear. These people are either stuttering or sobbing when facing the music in a public court. At least the victims can take some pleasure from watching how pathetic they are when facing the questions of a KC.

No one seems to have mentioned her disguise: the rather obvious wig and glasses.

Crocodile 🐊 tears 😢

O j Simpson would be given a job with post office

Was that it?

Crying how bloody pathetic.

Crying about the possibility of losing her pension and going to prison. Pathetic.

She crying as she knows that time could be running out for her and a jail sentence maybe coming her way hopefully

Crocodile tears. Just looking for undeserved sympathy. Don't forget she's part of cover up

Guilt tears

They prepare earth to slavery space ship. Welcome to green world 😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂 fockin drama

UK disgrace

Cry more
