Elena Herd

Year conviction was overturned:

2022

Ms Herd was convicted of fraud after a Post Office investigation into rejected Post Office labels. She was sentenced to four months in prison (suspended for 12 months), 200 hours of community service, and to pay £500 compensation and costs of £100. Her conviction was overturned since the case against her relied on data from the flawed Horizon computer system.
