Jonathan O'Sullivan had his burglary conviction appeal dismissed by the Court of Appeal on 10 May 2016. He had been convicted after a jury trial and sentenced to three years in prison.

The appeal concerned prosecution rebuttal evidence challenging O'Sullivan's account that he was elsewhere when the burglary occurred. The Court held that prior disclosure of that evidence was not required in the circumstances.

The court also rejected arguments about the trial judge's treatment of other evidence, including a discrepancy in the alleged intruder's height. The appeal was dismissed on all grounds.
