The 49-year-old was charged after defective Horizon software made it look like money had gone missing.
A former sub-postmaster from County Tyrone caught up in the Horizon IT scandal is to have all of his wrongful convictions quashed, the Court of Appeal has said.
Lady Chief Justice Dame Siobhan Keegan declared: “It has been a long road for Mr Williamson, but it has come to a favourable outcome for him today”. Mr Williamson was accused of stealing and falsifying accounting records at his branch in Portstewart when an audit appeared to show an alleged shortfall of £17,000.
Although the legislation does not cover the four counts of forgery, it was accepted in court on Thursday that those alleged offences were also linked to the Horizon system.
