KILLING THE LAW - documentary film

After their children are convicted of Joint Enterprise murder, families fight back to kill the law that has imprisoned their loved-ones for life.

Those who are concerned after leanring about the #PostOfficeScandal should Google #jointenterprise law, and await to be aghast at another huge #miscarriageofjustice story. My documentary follows @JENGbA on their fight since 2010 to free the innocent.

Another incredibly emotional afternoon with @JENGbA families & supporters at @DLA_Piper . Deeply moving talks from ex-prisoners & JENGbA mums…and brilliant insights into the justice system from @felicitygerry

Last night, we held our first evidence session of the Westminster Commission on Joint Enterprise.

From those with lived experience to academics to CPS representatives, our panel of witnesses agreed on the urgent need for greater clarity on definitions of joint enterprise law.

🧵Westminster Commission on #jointenterprise & launch of @JENGbA’s much anticipated Family Listening Day Report. We’ve come a long way from the days when the headlines called for #executing a child with a serious disability, who committed no violence, let alone murdered.

[Kim Johnson @KimJohnsonMP]

@CrimeandJustice have published their new report – The Legal Dragnet.

Written by @NishaWaller4, this report highlights how the current law on joint enterprise "allows and indeed encourages cases to be constructed with the absence of rigour and quality".

Reviewing Hansard on the #JointEnterprise (Significant Contribution) Bill which was debated in Parliament yesterday, Aylesbury MP cogent and sensible, but otherwise the only conclusion from opposing responses is that the law is not understood and some believe it is ok to convict people (present or not) without evidence - shocking stuff! @KimJohnsonMP @JENGbA

How many were convicted under Joint Enterprise I wonder? 🤔

[The Howard League @TheHowardLeague]

The prison population in England and Wales stands at 87,706.

There are 168 more people in prison today than there were last week, and 4,518 more than this time last year.

There are 84,118 people in men's prisons and 3,588 in women's prisons.

Filibustering in a debate is waste of everyone’s time and very insensitive to those affected by Joint Enterprise

[Anton Califano @antoncalifano]

It was great to see MPs from all parties supporting the debate. Very sad to see ‘some’ MPs filibustering, playing politics with the issue, “talking it out” 😟#jointenterprise

Filming with @JENGbA families for forthcoming documentary KILLING THE LAW #jointenterprise #documentary

[Richard Garside @RichardJGarside]

Just now in parliament, @KimJohnsonMP gives some examples of the injustice of #jointenterprise convictions

#significantcontribution

[Dr Felicity Gerry KC @felicitygerry]

Was great to be at this debate - here’s the excellent @KimJohnsonMP - some of the others were exhausting and wrong but to me it was clear that both sides of the house are concerned about #JointEnterprise law & the over criminalisation of alleged secondary parties
