Theme 3 – Unequal treatment of corporations vs. individuals
“It was the Post Office itself that prosecuted its own subpostmasters.” – amiga386
Theme 4 – Calls for legal reform & accountability
“If you can show that someone else was doing the same thing without being charged then the prosecution either has to charge them too or that law is struck down and no one can be charged with it anymore.” – giantg2
