Ongoing Injustice

Maxine Peake asks what is joint enterprise? Where did these laws come from and how have they evolved over time? She focuses on the principle of ‘foresight’, and how it was wrongly applied in Joint Enterprise cases for over thirty years. Felicity Gerry KC recounts how she won a landmark case R vs Jogee at the Supreme Court and Christopher Richards shares his experience of conviction for murder under joint enterprise.Contributors in order of appearance:Opening voices: Jan Cunliffe, Kevin Smith, Charlotte Henry, Felicity Gerry, Gloria Morrison, Becky Clarke, Joseph Appiah aka Cleeshay and Christopher Richards.Dr. Nisha Waller, Racial Justice Lead, AppealSimon Natas, Solicitor advocate, one of the founder partners of ITN Solicitors, LondonChristopher Richards, former prisoner and justice campaigner.Dr. Felicity Gerry, KC, Barrister, Libertas Chambers, London & Crocket Chambers, MelbourneMatt Dyson, Professor of Civil and Criminal Law at the University of OxfordGloria Morrison, co-founder of the Joint Enterprise campaign group, JENGbAHelen Mills Head of Programmes, Centre for Crime and Justice Studies.Richard Garside, Director of the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies.Read ‘The Usual Suspects’ report here:https://www.crimeandjustice.org.uk//sites/default/files/Usual%20Suspects%202nd%20edition%20final%20version%208%20nov_1.pdf Credits: Presenter: Maxine Peake | IG @betteblavatsky Series Producers: Melissa FitzGerald X @melissafitzg & Steve Langridge X @SMANGLERS Series Editor: Helen Mills, The Centre for Crime and Justice Studies Artwork: Kellie O'Hanlon & AFJ Ink  Produced by EarWorm Productions in collaboration with the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies and JENGbA.
