Joanne O’Donnell was convicted in May 2007 of theft and received a sentence of seven months’ imprisonment.
The CCRC received an application for review of the conviction in June 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 July 2022.
The Court of Appeal upheld the conviction in August 2023.
