14: Bankrupt but Innocent - a victim of the Post Office Scandal


Listen Later

Lee Castleton was made bankrupt after a two-year legal battle with the Post Office to clear his name.

The ordeal severely affected his family's health. In an emotional interview, Lee explains the toll it has taken - and how his life will never be the same again.
