Hedges, David

Published:

David Hedges was convicted in January 2011 of theft and false accounting and received a sentence of seven months’ imprisonment (suspended for 18 months), 125 hours of unpaid work, and an order to pay £1,000 in costs.

The CCRC received an application for review of the conviction in November 2015.

This was one of the CCRC’s “Post Office” cases, referred on the basis that the prosecution amounted to an abuse of process and that therefore there was a real possibility the appellate court would not uphold the conviction.

You can find out more about Post Office / Horizon cases on the CCRC’s dedicated hub.

You can also find a long read on Post Office cases here.

The CCRC referred the conviction in June 2020.

The Court of Appeal quashed the conviction in April 2021.
