I first heard this as an example of how buggy software can ruin people's lives, but I feel that there's much more to it than purely technical issues.
How could the court decide that Horizon was correct and the accused were wrong? Basically, the company just says trust me bro and that's all it takes. Really makes you think on what base the whole justice system is working.
