Seema Misra, a former UK Post Office manager, has rejected an apology from Gareth Jenkins, whose evidence led to her wrongful conviction. Misra, of Indian origin, was jailed for theft despite being pregnant and later had her conviction quashed. Jenkins, a former Fujitsu engineer, admitted his role in the miscarriage of justice, saying he only recently learned of Misra's pregnancy at the time. Misra called the apology "too little, too late" and described her ordeal as "tragic." The case is part of a larger Post Office scandal involving a faulty IT system that led to hundreds of wrongful prosecutions.
