Hood, Elaine
Published:
Elaine Hood was convicted in May 2003 of theft and received a sentence of 120 hours community service and was ordered to pay £950 in court costs.
The CCRC received an application for review of the conviction in July 2021.
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.

The CCRC referred the conviction in March 2023.
The Crown Court quashed the conviction in September 2023.
