<span style="font-size: small;">After a serious racial assault by a prison officer on Kevan
Thakrar 2 weeks ago which we shall go into further detail in our letter of
complaint to Wakefield Governor, <span> </span><span style="color: red;">JENGbA</span>
have just received a call from Kevan Thakrar to be told he has been subjected
to another racist attack today.<span> </span>Fellow
prisoner in the Closed Supervision Centre (Solidarity Confinement) at Wakefield,
Charles Bronson has assaulted Kevan today by collecting and storing faeces in a
plastic bottle.<span> </span>He deliberately threw it
over him as he walked by his cell from behind his cage.<span> </span>Kevan knows he has been encouraged to do this
by the prison officers who have continually subjected him to racist abuse by
offering incentives to the other inmates in the CSC. <span> </span>When Janet Cunliffe and myself, visited him a
couple of months ago the other inmates screamed racist abuse at us when we
left, of course we complained but we were ignored. If they can do that with
impunity to visitors and not punish anyone what might happen to Kevan behind
closed doors is truly terrifying. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;">This assault happened in front of officers, Kevan was being
escorted by 7 officers as is the norm whenever he is allowed to leave his cell,
yet no action has been taken against Bronson and he is remaining on enhanced
regime thereby sanctioning his behaviour. Not only did he throw a bottle of
shit at Kevan, he shouted racist abuse and was not once ordered to stop. <span> </span>Bronson is one of the ‘Death before Dishonour’
racist gang that is being recruited in prisons and operating inside HMP
Wakefield.<span> </span>Please write in support of

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><b>JENGbA</b></span> have had a call from <b>Edward Conteh</b> who is currently being held
at a deportation Centre Brook House Gatwick. He has been given a
ticket to Brussels for a flight leaving 6th October. He has no family
or contacts in Brussels and as far as he knows he
is not being given accomodation. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Edward is a particularly vulnerable young man who was 200 yards away
with Joe Appiah running away from boys attacking them when an incident
resulting in a fatality on the other side of the park. Edward's
deportation hearings were a disgrace - <span style="color: red;"><b>JENGbA</b></span> campaigners
attended many - he was low risk until a new Probation officer he never
met decided he was high risk based on 'intel' that he had NO evidence
of. <span style="color: red;"><b>JENGbA</b></span> found him a deportation lawyer and she is working with a
criminal lawyer pro bono to try to stop his deportation.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
What constitutes Substantial Injustice?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I sit in my cell, having served eleven and
a half years of a twenty year tariff for a conviction of [joint enterprise]
murder, I have to ponder this question if I have any chance of gaining [simple]
justice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Basically, I am astounded that
this is even considered a legitimate question by those who represent the very
best of our judiciary. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Having established that our
criminal “justice” system have been manipulating a doctrine – not even a
substantive law – for the best part of thirty years (the length of some
tariffs), the Supreme Court determined that anyone convicted under this unjust
doctrine (pre-Jogee) must first show that they are suffering from Substantial Injustice. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I have been studying for a law
degree for 5 years now, briefly touching on criminal law along the way, so I
cannot claim to be as knowledgeable as are our esteemed judges.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, the Rule of Law: Right to a Fair Trial
and the fundamental maxim that No Person is Above the Law all mean nothing if this
question is allowed to be accepted. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Injustice is what it says on the
tin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If something is found to be unjust
then surely allowing the word substantial to be prefixed to it is an act of the
judiciary putting itself above our fundamental Rule of Law and an
unconstitutional mockery. The judiciary seem at odds to ‘ever’ put their
mistakes right – if you are lucky enough to be able to prove them wrong in the
first place – they use rules of construction/interpretation to slip through
rough terrain like a snake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
They come out with complete
madness such as:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“…where a conviction has been
arrived at by faithfully applying the law as it stood at the time. It can be
set aside only by seeking exceptional leave to appeal out of time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That court has power to grant such leave, and
may do so if substantial injustice be demonstrated, but it will not do so
simply because the law applied has now been declared to have been mistaken.” (R
v Jogee [2016] UKSC8)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
This principle comes from the
case of Ramsden [1972] Crim LR 547, which involved a conviction of Dangerous
Driving for which the relevant sentence involved would be from 6 months up to 3
to 4 years at worst.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Do not get me wrong, one day in
prison is too long, especially if wrongfully convicted but in most Joint Enterprise
cases I know of, we are talking of minimum sentences from 15 years all the way
up to 40 years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That to me (and I am
sure to anyone who was unlucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong
time with the wrong person) is unequivocally unjust.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
How have words such as ‘exceptional’
and ‘substantial’ been allowed to be accepted into the equation?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Stop and Search, Two-Strikes, IPP and best of
all ‘JE’ are very clear indicators of a criminal “justice” system in crisis,
less focused on the cornerstones of Law which they [judiciary] represent, and
more concerned with what the ‘red-tops’ will report. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Sorry, but I have to laugh, if I
don’t I can only cry. And I have – and will continue to do so, for the victim
(who is never far from my thoughts), the victim’s family and friends, my family
and yes sometimes even for myself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I was a drug addict for 14 years
and put needles in myself every day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
did not care if I overdosed and died, but paradoxically I did care about my
family. I never intended to hurt them or anybody else. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, in Law my ‘intention’ is paramount
relative to a conviction for murder especially satisfying the burden of proof –
‘beyond reasonable doubt’. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Criminality
as a whole dictates that people will invariably find themselves associating
with individuals who they do not particularly want to. Kids mostly join “gangs”
due to nothing more than fear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are
caught up in conflicts that they had no part in starting and therefore, logically
have no ‘intention’ of finishing by which I mean by hurting anyone!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They simply stay at the scene for a variety
of reasons (fear, shock) and pretend to be involved or even half-heartedly
participate for no other reason than to prevent them from also being a victim. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In my case it was shock and a
fear for the victim: as a drug addict I can talk from experience. From when I
first stuck a needle in my arm in 1991 for reasons that are irrelevant, I have
associated with literally hundreds of different addicts from hundreds of
different areas up and down the country. How am I, seriously expected to know
what they are capable of; I mean what they’re really capable of?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have been released from prisons in places
such as Cumbria, Liverpool and Preston and have stayed there for a time
‘associating’ with people I do not know well enough to judge how they may act
in any given situation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thankfully
nothing bad ever happened on those occasions other than the usual back-stabbing
and disagreements associated with addicts, so I would simply move on. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
However in an area not too far
from where I lived in Manchester but still far enough for me to be an outsider
I began ‘associating’ with more people I had no background information on. One
of these, my co-defendant, I had known for no more than twelve weeks. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Imagine you daughter meets a new boyfriend.
Twelve weeks in the relationship you go for a meal with them. On the way home
you are passing a group of lads who make a rude remark to your daughter and
subsequently start harassing her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the
eyes of the law you are entitled to use legitimate, reasonable force to protect
yourself and your daughter; so you simply try to push the assailants away with
the sole ‘intention’ of getting away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Simple right?!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wrong.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your daughter’s boyfriend proceeds to
physically attack of the lads and uses much more force, aggression than you
would have intended used.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Is it fair that you are just as
responsible for any consequences which may follow from his (another person’s
intent) conduct?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What if the victims
dies? Murder, Manslaughter charges for you and your daughter, think about
that!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It could have been one single
punch. And not just you, your daughter is just as responsible because she did
not stop it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bear in mind, if you knew
him for twelve weeks and had been out with him before (and your daughter) and
you had witnessed him maybe get aggressive in a verbal confrontation – you
would be presumed (courts love a presumption) as realising there is a
possibility (even a vague possibility will suffice) that he could be
aggressive: a vague possibility in my case was sufficient.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Under the misused, unjust
pre-Jogee doctrine if there was any possible foresight on your part that a
person could do something, then you (and your daughter) are going to be held
equally responsible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And if the
consequence is murder then you are all going to receive a mandatory life
sentence and your tariff could be 20, 25, 30, 35 years. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am, as are hundreds of others, actually
serving these sentences. We know what equates to injustice; for me it is being
labelled a murderer having not laid a hand on the victim, and I must add having
not encouraged my co-defendant to either. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Yes I know I was a drug addict,
and yes I did terrible things to get my drugs but nothing close to what I’m
convicted of.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I totally accept that I
put myself in the position I was in and am totally prepared to go to prison for
every single day of a sentence which reflects MY part/intention - not that of
someone I had no control over. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Is this fair?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is this justice? There was no evidence that I
threw the one punch which tragically killed the victim (it was proved my
co-defendant threw it) but the simple fact that I could have “possibly” foreseen
what my co-defendant ‘might’ do was enough. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
We know our website ain't the most up to date and actually it hasn't
been updated for months. The grassroots nature of our campaign means
that Maria (Supporting her boyfriend Dean) has to come after work to my
home (supporting far to many now to mention!)
and put in updates. The summer months have been tricky because:<br />
<br />
1. I and many other JENGbA campaigners were travelling up to
Nottingham for the trial of Ameen. Which was knackering and I am amazed
that Rachael stayed sane. But at least as his mum she had hope - which
without JENGbA lots of us would have lost years ago.<br />
<br />
2. As ever the Criminal Justice system is making us tread on coals and
stay in limbo. By treading on coals I mean our hearts and minds will
stay subserviant to their rule - because they will decide our loved ones
futures - and limbo because they are taking
so long about it. Why? We all know why because they have no idea how
to cover up this mess - and so we have to stay 'on it' until we know
their next move.<br />

as often as you can so that a crap legal firm and articles from
commentators do not supercede our work and achievements. Website ain't
perfect but just like JENGbA it is built from love from campaigners who
care. (Thank you Maria).<br />

This morning at Nottingham Crown Court, following a three day retrial of his case, Ameen Jogee was sentenced to 12 years in prison for the manslaughter of Paul Fyfe. A jury acquitted Jogee of murder earlier in the month and returned a manslaughter verdict last Monday. As he has already served five years in prison, Jogee will now only be required to serve another nine months before he is released.</div>

Today’s sentencing marks the end of a high profile legal battle for Jogee who, in February<a href="http://thejusticegap.com/2016/02/what-does-this-mean-for-my-boy-what-does-this-mean-for-my-ken-uk-supreme-court-rules-on-joint-enterprise/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #f55555; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; word-wrap: break-word;">, won a landmark appeal in the Supreme Court</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>that led to his original murder conviction being quashed and a retrial ordered.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #626465; font-family: Lora; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; orphans: 2; outline: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
His lawyers had argued in the Supreme Court that the ‘joint enterprise’ legal principle under which he was convicted in 2012 had been incorrectly applied at his original trial and was also being incorrectly applied across the courts. The Supreme Court agreed and allowed his appeal.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #626465; font-family: Lora; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; orphans: 2; outline: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
It also restored a pre-1984 rule that, for someone to be found guilty of a crime under joint enterprise, then they either needed to have committed the crime directly or – if they were a secondary party present at the scene – to have ‘intentionally assisted or encouraged’ the crime, rather than merely having had some ‘foresight’ that the crime <em style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; outline: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">might</em> take place.</div>

<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Eyewitnesses who attended Jogee’s retrial told The Justice Gap that the main prosecution witness in the case, Paul Fyfe’s former partner – who was present at the scene on the night Fyfe died – had attended the retrial reluctantly and only after the police had threatened to arrest her. As she gave evidence at the retrial, she reportedly told the court: ‘This is what you (The Crown Prosecution Service) keep doing. You keep asking me the same question over and over again and I keep on giving you the same answer. He (Jogee) is not a murderer. He didn’t encourage or assist Mo (Mohammed Hirsi).

<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">The Crown Prosecution Service had taken four witness statements from her and at the retrial had sought to question her on the contents of her fourth statement. That statement contained testimony that on the night Fyfe died, Jogee had ‘waved a bottle around’ and shouted ‘come on’ outside the house. However, at the retrial she refused to confirm the contents of her fourth statement and the CPS had to make a formal application to turn her into a hostile witness.</span></b></div>

Just before the hearing was adjourned for sentencing, Jogee’s barrister, Felicity Gerry QC, told the court: ‘Ameen Jogee falls to be sentenced as an accessory to manslaughter not murder. We cannot underestimate how hard it is for a young man to serve a life sentence as he did in these circumstances.’ Gerry read out a letter Mr Jogee had written to the judge, in which expressed his remorse and informed the court about the qualifications he’d studied for in prison.</div>

Jogee’s mother Rachel Whitehead tweeted: ‘Finally justice for my boy. (It’s taken) five years to prove he is innocent. Happy we’re on the road home. I now see a future with my son, something I didn’t think I would see until I was an elderly lady.’</div>

‘We do feel vindicated because had we not campaigned for the change in the law, the Supreme Court would not have come to its decision that the law took a ‘wrong turn’ in 1984 and Ameen would still be labelled a murderer.

A secret world exists within the high
security prison estate in England, known as the Close Supervision Centre
(CSC) system. The dehumanisation of CSC prisoners begins at a very
early stage, in the official justification for the creation of the CSC
system, which focuses on the need to contain a new breed of unmanageable
and unpredictable risks. It continues with the creation of
classificatory categories of ‘dangerousness’ which objectify prisoners
and make more of the category and less of the human in them, and it is
reinforced by the tightly controlled and highly regulated routines.</div>
<div id="yiv7446413303ecxyiv5107957927yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464624259467_27544" style="text-align: justify;">

In addition to isolation and extremely
restricted movements, prisoners’ in-cell belongings are carefully
regulated and subjected to relentless scrutiny and inspection. Prisoners
remain in CSC units for years, decades even, made frustrated, angry and
bored by their experiences with few avenues to vent their anger and
with almost no opportunities to advance through the system. All
perceived acts of disobedience or non-compliance by CSC prisoners, even
of the most petty kind, are responded to brutally by gangs of prison
officers clad in full riot gear who show no mercy when demonstrating
their authority and power, sanctioned by Prison Service management at
the highest levels. Rather than controlling violence, as it officially
aims to do, this hyper-controlled environment breeds it.</div>

Having now spent six years subject to

negative and oppressive measures will be added.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">"Reluctantly, we uphold the appeal”: The problem with the Court of
Appeal</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Those words are, I am proud to
say, not mine. They are the words of Lord Lane who was “forced” to overturn
Anthony Mycock’s burglary conviction in 1984. Mycock was by no means a
"lucky duck" criminal who had managed to have his conviction<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>quashed on a faint technicality- he had, as
the Court of Appeal was forced to acknowledge, been completely exonerated. It
had transpired that the burglary he was convicted of had never happened, and
the only witness had admitted that she had fabricated the entire story.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The Court of Appeal, in its
modern incarnation, grew out of some legal changes in the early part of the
last century. Prior to that criminal appeals had been an even more disorganised
affair than they are today; appeals on a "point of law" (where you
are appealing the way that the trial judge ruled on something) were very
possible to appeal but "points of fact" (where you want to show that
the fact pattern relied on by the prosecution was wrong) were much harder to
put before a court. The jury's verdict, be it 'guilty' or 'not guilty', had
been arrived at in secret, on whatever basis and should therefore be respected
as final. The jury had sworn a solemn oath and could be trusted to have
returned the right verdict.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It may seem disingenuous that
this was the case. Surely, if a jury, or a Magistrate, had convicted a person
on incorrect facts, or new evidence had come to light, it would be obvious that
the matter had to be looked into again?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Sadly, this was not the attitude
of many of the judges of the day. It is no secret that every new crop of judges
in those days (and possibly these days, depending on who you ask) was littered
with "hanging judges". A "hanging judge" did not just describe
any judge who imposed the death penalty- after all, until 1965, murder was punishable
with death. So, every High Court judge up until that point will have been
forced to impose the death sentence during their career. The concept of a
"hanging judge" was far more nuanced than it might seem. It described
a judge whose philosophy was that there could be no redemption for murderers,
and, as a corollary of that, that the jury system was an unquestionable
facility for determining guilt. No re-examination was necessary, nor was it desirable.
Judges with such a mentality in this day and age, mercifully, are not less
loose with the ability to execute people- but as anyone familiar with joint
enterprise in action will know, they still have a frightening amount of power
to destroy a convicted person's life. If you accept a jury can be wrong, then
it is very hard to reconcile that with a belief that the death penalty should
be allowed. It is only by taking the view that jury's verdicts should be final
that the death penalty makes any sense.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
How does all of this relate to
the inadequacies of the modern Court of Appeal? Well, quite simply, a
disturbing attitude has filtered down through the years, it still persists today.
The question of who makes up the judiciary, as a whole, is my starting point. I
am not speaking about the lack of diversity on the bench; I am speaking about
the way that judges are selected. It is received wisdom among the legal
profession that, generally, you have a better chance of becoming a judge if you
spent most of your time as a barrister (or solicitor, in rare cases)
prosecuting. If you had a preference for defence work you might be perceived as
too renegade to be trusted with a judicial position; you may look out for the
interests of the defendant too much, to the detriment of the good working order
of society. It is also no secret that the last three governments have
introduced a raft of measures to make convicting defendants much, much easier
than it was before. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The removal of the prohibition on
double jeopardy (i.e. re-trying a person who has previously been acquitted),
firstly by the Conservative Government of the 1990s (in cases of bribery of a
witness or juror), secondly by the Labour Government (in cases where "new and
compelling evidence" emerges) was such a change- but it has so far led to
just 7 convictions. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The really insidious changes were
to the rules of disclosure in 1996, which made it more difficult for defence
teams to access all of the information held by the police on a particular case,
and the 2003 changes to the rules on "bad character evidence" (these
changes made it far easier for the prosecution to tell a jury that a defendant had
previous convictions) and the admissibility of hearsay evidence (indirect
evidence, not given in live court, such as where a prosecution witness has
signed a statement and then refused to give evidence in court- this deprives the
defence barrister of the opportunity to cross-examine the witness). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
One of the worst assaults on the
defendant's rights came in the form of an Act passed by the Conservative
government of the 1990s which seriously limited an arrested person's right to
silence, by introducing "adverse inferences from silence" and
"adverse inferences from failure to account". This Act of Parliament
was an about-face from the prevailing understanding of not only the British
justice system, but most justice systems the world over, that no person should
be required to answer allegations put to them. It may seem unimportant that a
person suspected of a crime has the right to remain silent, until you consider
that "failing to account for forensic evidence" might mean being
unwilling to give the police possible reasons why a pictogram (one trillionth
of a gram) of someone's cells were on your clothes; hardly a reasonable thing
to expect an ordinary person without a PhD in forensic science to explain.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In short, the attitude seems to
be that more convictions will lead to a safer society. Not all judges take this
view, but most do. This "crime control" philosophy demands that the
best trials are those in which the prosecution can introduce as much evidence
as they like, sometimes unchallenged and often evidence which assassinates the character
of the defendant rather than direct evidence about the case in hand. Some judges
favour a "due diligence" approach, which holds that if the legal
system is to have any dignity, and if convictions are to be safe, then it is vital
that the defence have the opportunity to challenge as much evidence as possible;
and that evidence which has been obtained illegally is not put before the
court, however strong. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The Judicial Appointments
Commission oversees the appointment of most judges in this country. Prior to this,
the work was nominally done by the Lord Chancellor's office.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In reality, this hid an ugly word of Old Boys
networks and taps on the shoulder.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
You could not apply for any
judicial role more senior than a Recorder (a barrister, or solicitor, who sits
part-time as a Crown Court judge, trying the more simple cases). If you wanted
to be a Circuit Judge or a High Court judge then your academic qualifications
or skill as an advocate were far less important than whose cocktail parties you
attended and who you had been at school with. So, we did away with this arcane
system a decade ago and the JAC replaced it- all is well surely?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Not so. It is true that up to the
level of a High Court judge all applications are directed through the JAC, a
public body which has an approved selection process and accountability of some
sort. But for the two highest ranks of the English bench, the Court of Appeal
& The Supreme Court (formerly the House of Lords),<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>it is still up to the Lord Chancellor's
office to decide who to promote from the High Court bench. It is a process
largely unchanged from how it was 30 or 100 years ago- with a tap on the
shoulder being given to those deemed "appropriate" for such an
exalted position. It does not take much imagination to conceive of the
characteristics that are being looked for. Legal excellence is certainly a
requirement, very few career failures make it onto the Court of Appeal bench;
an unblemished personal life is a necessity; an understanding that you will not
make any dramatic decisions that could upset anybody else's applecart (e.g. a
conviction rate obsessed government) also seems to be a requirement.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The odd renegade does slink
through the selection process, but the Court of Appeal makes decisions by
majority (3 judges, with a majority of 2 needed) and so it is quite rare that
they do anything out of the ordinary. It does not take David Icke to draw the
conclusion that this is because the Court of Appeal is good, most of the time,
for nothing more than a bit of window dressing. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
You see, roughly 1,000 full
criminal appeals against conviction are made to the Court of Appeal each year
(to say nothing of the thousands and thousands more applications made which are
refused by the "single judge process"- which I shall explain briefly
below), less than 350, in a typical year, lead to any alteration being made to
the original decision of the court (by which I mean either the quashing of a
conviction, or substitution of a conviction). But, the equation for working out
the odds of success for an appellant is more complicated than this. In the
1960s it was decided that it was no good that, in the rare cases where their
Learned Lordships agreed that one of their Learned Brothers (as judges refer to
one another) in the lower court had gone wrong, the scoundrel in the dock
should simply walk free....so a provision to allow their Lordships to quash a
conviction but direct a retrial was introduced. Statistics are hard to come by,
but it seems that in about 1/3rd of the cases where the Court of Appeal quashes
a conviction they allow the prosecution to run a re-trial (depending on the age
of the conviction, the severity of the offence and the way the wind is blowing
at the CPS then they make or may not decide to actually have another trial).
So, the odds of making a successful application to the Court of Appeal, being
granted an Appeal, having your conviction quashed and not being re-tried are,
by my reckoning, going to be in the 4-5% range (assuming 5,000 applications are
made to appeal and roughly 200 defendant's convictions are quashed without a
re-trial being held).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Other laws have been brought in
to make it harder for good Court of Appeal judges to quash convictions, and
easier for bad Court of Appeal judges to justify why they will not quash a
conviction. Until the late 1990s, a conviction could be quashed on the basis
that it was "unsafe" or that a "misdirection in law" had
taken place. This covered most situations where an appellant had a genuine
grievance about his or her original trial- either the judge had misdirected the
jury, or the police had hidden evidence or a new witness had come forward. In 1997,
it was decided that a "misdirection in law" was no longer, of itself,
sufficiently good grounds to quash a conviction. The appellant had to prove
that not only had there been a misdirection in law, but also that it had led to
his conviction being unsafe. This change was justified on the basis that not
all misdirections in law would jeopardise a conviction. This may be true, as
sometimes, rarely, trial judges go further than they need to in directing a
jury in order to ensure that the defendant is only convicted if the jury really
is sure of their guilt- but the problem is that these sort of misdirections
favourable to a defendant would not be the sort being appealed by said
defendant! The only misdirections being appealed would be those where the trial
judge had omitted something crucial when addressing the jury, or had coloured
his directions by giving an inappropriate opinion of some of the evidence (or
of the defendant) etc. So, in reality, this change only cut one way- to the detriment
of appellants. It also provided modern "hanging judges" on the CoA
with everything they needed to dismiss bothersome appeals brought by, in their
minds, clearly guilty defendants who have been nit-picking in an attempt to
secure another shot before a new jury.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
They could have had a glaring
misdirection in law, by the trial judge, highlighted and be free to say,
"Yes, the learned judge was wrong, but in my view he was not so wrong that
if he had been right the jury might have acquitted- therefore the conviction is
safe". Until the change in the law this would not have been possible- they
would have had to quash the conviction. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The filtration system used by the
Court of Appeal's criminal division is another problem. A single CoA judges
hears very brief, very précised bases of appeal. These hearings can be over in
a matter of minutes, but the single judge holds the power to either allow the
prospective appellant to appeal before three judges or to prevent him from
doing so. This is justified on the basis that a lot of appeals are hopeless,
and such a justification may well pass muster with the bean counters in
Whitehall at the Ministry of Justice, or in the pages of newspapers. BUT, in reality,
this justification doesn't pass the smell test. You see, barristers may well be
the "mouthpieces" of their clients but that does not permit them to
say and do exactly as their clients please. Barristers are also "officers
of the court", in the same way as a judge or court usher is, and they owe
a duty to the court. They cannot represent a client at appeal on the basis of a
hopeless legal challenge, simply to appease the client and to earn money. There
is actually a specific, and somewhat misleading, term of art used to describe a
scenario in which a barrister is trapped between his client's wishes (which
are, notwithstanding the above, usually sacred) and his duties as an officer of
the court....he or she is said to be "professionally embarrassed". I
have witnessed this happen in open court just once, when an angry defendant
demanded that his barrister challenge the admissibility of some disclosure
evidence during a murder case, which was actually going to benefit the
defendant's case- the barrister stood and announced, "Your Honour I have
been instructed to oppose any decision to admit this evidence, I cannot provide
any reason and am professionally embarrassed".</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
On the same basis barristers are
prevented from disclosing certain information to juries in the hope of securing
a perverse acquittal for their client. A barrister cannot tell the jury how
long his client will receive if convicted in anything more than general terms,
a fact which has great implications in joint enterprise cases (with jurors
being astounded at the sentences handed down the most minor secondary
participant). Equally, a barrister cannot tell a jury, "Yes, my client is
guilty but you must acquit him as his behaviour was justified". It is an
issue which came to the fore in the trial of Pat Pottle & Michael Randle,
two activists who broke "KGB spy" George Blake out of prison. The two
men were forced to dismiss their barristers and give their closing speeches
from the dock. I segue into these two points about barrister's duty to the
court only because they have such massive implications for joint enterprise
trials. It is fair to assume that a lot more jurors would be in favour of
acquittal if they knew the outrageous sentences imposed on secondary parties.
Unfortunately, the only way for a defendant to make jurors aware of this is to
represent himself.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
So, it is quite simply nonsense
to say that we need this filtration system to provide "worthless"
appeals from taking up time. At any rate, there are provisions for "wasted
costs orders" to be made if a barrister wastes the court's time with inane
or irrelevant submissions- a humiliating fate no barrister would risk enduring.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The truth is that the Court of
Appeal was set up to allow theoretical objections to convictions, but most
judges are dyed in the wool believers that quashing convictions should be a
rarity. I shall part with the words of Lord Denning, a man widely revered for
his championing of the common man or woman, this was certainly true where the
little man took on the government in the sphere of the public law....but if you
wanted Lord Denning on your side, it was best not to appear shackled in the
dock. In an interview about Rough Justice, a pioneering TV programme which
sought to uncover miscarriages of justice and bring<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>them to light, he famously said, "Once
judge and jury have come to a decision, the media MUST NOT go round trying to
get what they call 'fresh evidence' so as to show, if they can that the
decision was wrong". The shocked interviewer asked, "Even if that
means innocent people in prison", Denning replied, "Yes". </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Denning was no worse than any
other judge of his day, or of today, he was simply more outspoken. At the
release of the Guildford Four he remarked that, "It would be better that
we had the death penalty than this appalling vista"...it was understandably
assumed that the 'appalling vista' he spoke of was police corruption and the
shame of English courts convicting the innocent. In truth, he was observing
that if the Guildford Four had been hanged then no appeals would have been
brought and the British justice system never would have been disgraced before
the world. For the COA the reputation of the system, it seems, is always more
important than justice.</div>

On 18th February 2016 the Supreme Court judges handed down a judgment which decided that the law on joint enterprise had taken a wrong turn.<br /><br />‘The courts made a mistake. The Supreme Court took a brave step in some way by putting it right, the judges expressed that Parliament must finish the job.

Chair Justice Select Committee<br />
House of Commons <br />
SW1A 0AA<br />
<br />
6th April 2016<br />
<br />
Dear Mr Neill<br />
<br />
Thank
you for attending JENGbA’s conference in the House of Commons in
January when we launched the Manchester University & Centre for
Crime and Justice Studies report on, “Dangerous Associations: Joint
Enterprise, Gangs and Race.” I am sure you will agree it was a very
important report and JENGbA welcomed the robust comments from the MP’s
on the panel and those who attended. Lord Beith, your predecessor, in
particular, was exceptionally outspoken about the concerns the previous
Justice Select Committee had about joint enterprise charging, especially
the overwhelming evidence of the disproportionate convictions of young
men from ethnic minorities.<br />
<br />
As you will be aware JENGbA’s years
of campaigning have finally been vindicated by the Supreme Court
decision on Feb 18th in R v Jogee when the Supreme Court Judges
unanimously decided that the doctrine had been misinterpreted for 32
years since Chan Wing-Siu. JENGbA absolutely welcomes this decision,
and we know that the years of campaigning as well as the two reports
from the Justice Select Committee would have contributed to their
decision that joint enterprise charging based on possible foresight was
no longer tenable in our Justice System.<br />
<br />
It is now of vital
importance to understand what the Supreme Court did in this particular
case, and this was to acknowledge that the law was not wrong and
therefore did not need to be corrected, but that the actual courts
interpretation of the law was wrong. It is this misinterpretation of
the law that has been corrected not the substantive law itself. This is
important because if it were the law itself that had been changed, then
what the Supreme Court says about fresh appeals would be perfectly
valid.<br />
<br />
If people have been convicted of murder when as the law
as it stood at the time they would not have been convicted of anything
more than manslaughter, if even that, then surely an obvious miscarriage
of justice has occurred and the courts should be keen to correct it.<br />
<br />
It
may be inconvenient for the court of appeal to have to clean up the
mess left by previous courts, but if injustice has been caused then
obviously that must be corrected.<br />
<br />
Supreme Court said in paragraph 100 of the judgement, <br />
<b>“Where
a conviction has been arrived at by faithfully applying the law as it
stood at the time, it can be set aside only by seeking exceptional leave
to appeal to the Court of Appeal out of time. That court has power to
grant such leave, and may do so if substantial injustice be
demonstrated, but it will not do so simply because the law applied has
now been declared to have been mistaken.”</b><br />
<br />
JENGbA believe this is
wide open to challenge. The interpretation of the law over the last
thirty two years may have changed as a result of the decision in Chan
Wing-Siu but the actual law itself did NOT change. So in that period
the courts have NOT been <i>“faithfully applying the law as it stood at the
time”</i>, <b>they have been misinterpreting what the law always was in the
first place.</b><br />
<br />
However, if they did not think the ruling would open
the floodgates for appeals they are wrong, we have a number of appeals
that we think will be successful because of the correction, but sadly
there will still be a huge number of prisoners where the 'foresight'
ruling will not apply even though they we not the principal or in many
cases at the scene (as with the Cohen brothers article attached.)<br />
<br />
JENGbA
would like advice on how we get a full independent inquiry into the
years of abuse that have allowed people to be convicted, predominantly,
though not exclusively, of murder or manslaughter based on virtually no
evidence except that someone loosely associated to the principle should
have/may have/could have ‘known’ what he/she might do. JENGbA does not
accept that the law took a wrong turn, lawmakers including the police
and CPS and the courts took a wrong turn, in charging people using joint
enterprise precisely because they had no other evidence against them.<br />
<br />
JENGbA
is currently supporting 698 prisoners and if as ordinary members of the
general public we recognised that this doctrine was leading to mass
numbers of miscarriages of justice, something the previous Justice
Select Committee agreed with because of the evidence before them in
submissions, then it is only right and proper that a fuller
investigation is made into police and charging decisions to find out the
truth.<br />
<br />
We believe that transparency is now key and therefore
urge for a full independent inquiry so that prisoners who are serving
mandatory life sentences for crimes they did not commit can have a full
case review.<br />
<br />
We would like a moratorium to be issued that no
legal transcripts or documents from cases can be destroyed until this is
done.<br />
<br />
We want the CPS and police to hand over disclosure
evidence that prisoners and legal teams have been trying to obtain for
years. This is extremely important as the current climate for the
miscarriage of justice world is loaded with obstacles and malfeasance.
The CCRC are currently struggling to cope with the cases they have
before them, we do not believe they will be able to do the investigative
work needed to get to the 'truth' our prisoners so desperately need.<br />
<br />
We
would also urge that an inquiry is made on the life licence for
prisoners who were not the principle, but were convicted of murder as a
secondary party using joint enterprise. These are people who are now at
liberty but living on the outside with a life time of restrictions.<br />
<br />
There
is also an important discussion to be had about Schedule 21, as
mandatory sentencing is not something supported by the general public.<br />
<br />
A further Inquiry into joint enterprise
charges based on the overwhelming evidence that JENGbA has now gathered
through our cases can only merit the full attention and support of
Parliament and we would truly appreciate any advice from the Justice
Committee or those MP's who have been supportive of JENGbA's campaign on how we take this important prison and human
rights issue forward.<br />
<br />
For information we have included an
article by the Investigative journalist Bob Woffinden into a case of the
Cohen brothers JENGbA have been supporting along with their families as
a clear example of these exact obstacles and malfeasance prisoners
seeking to right a miscarriage of justice are unable to overcome.<br />

Ray Gilbert, By Bruce Kent, MOJUK, 16/03/2016<br />
<br />
A mixed race child, Raymond Gilbert, grew up in poverty. He had a speech
impediment, was given a patchy education and drifted into the
underworld of Liverpool crime. He already had a record for robbery and
for one assault before the accusation of murder. He was therefore a
likely suspect when a local betting shop manager was murdered in the
course of a robbery in 1981 in Liverpool.<br />
<br />
But suspicion is not enough. What of evidence? Against neither Gilbert
nor Kamara, his co accused, was there any evidence to connect them with
the murder. Kamara, not Gilbert, was picked out on an identification
parade by one witness who said he saw Kamara struggling with another man
outside the betting shop at about the time of the murder. The parade
itself was not run according to proper rules. The witnesses had failed
to pick out Gilbert on the first parade. The second parade was made up
of a number of the same people with Kamara introduced as one of the new
people. Kamara was identified not Gilbert.<br />
<br />
However, that no longer matters. The Court of Appeal has given its
ruling in 2000 about Kamara’s innocence, and it did so, in part, because
a large number of witness statements were not given to the defence at
the time of the trial. Some of them even contradicted the witness
evidence that was used. There was no investigation into the threat made
by one customer at the betting shop that he would return to ‘sort out’
the manager the next day (the day of the murder) if he was not paid.<br />
<br />
What then was the case against Gilbert? The murder took place at about
9.30 am on Friday 13 March 1981. Gilbert was detained on Monday 16
March and then spent two days and nights in police custody before being
remanded to prison. No fingerprint, footprint, forensic, bloodstains,
witness evidence or knife has ever connected Gilbert with the crime.<br />
<br />
Did Gilbert have an alibi? Well he had one. He returned to the flat he
shared with his girlfriend, after drinking with friends, between 1 and 2
am on the morning of the murder. Apart from a visit to the
newsagent/tobacconists later that morning, he was with her all day. At
least she stuck to that story for some time, but after interrogation she
was actually charged on 18 March, with impeding the course of justice,
and remanded in custody. As a result of this intimidation she then
changed her story and said that Gilbert had gone out early on the
morning of the murder.<br />
<br />
What then was the evidence against Gilbert, who had repudiated his
confession and initially pleaded Not Guilty, when the case came to trial
in November ‘81? Simply that after two days and nights of police
interrogation in March 81 with little sleep and no legal representative
present, he had confessed to murder and signed a detailed statement.
Worse, he involved an associate of his, Johnny Kamara, and said that
Kamara had been with him. Why? Who knows? He says he was shown a
photofit picture and asked to identify the people in it. Whether
Kamara’s name was suggested to him we do not know. The interviews were
not taped.<br />
<br />
What of the confession? It is said that it revealed details of the
murder that only someone who had been at the scene of the crime could
have known. This is nonsense. He was in the custody of two policemen who
would have been negligent if they had not known all the details of the
crime. Did they, convinced they were dealing with a murderer, reveal
details to Gilbert which he could not have known anyway from reading the
Liverpool papers? That is at least possible.<br />
<br />
Anyway, Gilbert’s first verbal admission which was noted by the police,
and his subsequent written confession, differ in significant ways. In
the first place he said he threw the knife down a drain after leaving
the betting shop. In the written confession, which he signed, he said he
took it to a friend’s house, where indeed a possible knife was found.
Then in his first admission he said that the betting shop door was open
and that the two of them just went in. In the signed statement he said
they had to grab the manager, poke him with a knife, and make him open
the door. It is just possible that these changes were suggested to him
by the police because they fitted statements made by other witnesses.<br />
<br />
In any event, since the Court of Appeal has decided that Gilbert’s
confession, insofar as it involved Kamara, was untrue, why should it be
assumed that the rest of the confession is true?<br />
<br />
Why then was a confession of any sort made if he was innocent? On that
issue the distinguished consultant psychologist, Olive Tunstall, having
examined Gilbert in preparation for his appeal process, prepared a
detailed report on his makeup and background, dated April 1999. She
says: “In my opinion there is evidence to suggest that the confession Mr
Gilbert made during the police interviews may have been unreliable. I
have based that opinion on the following grounds.” The first of these is
as follows: “Mr Gilbert’s personal vulnerability at that time (youth,
limited education, abnormal personality, stammer, adverse social
circumstances and in my opinion a profound fear of being physically
assaulted emanating from early childhood experiences), his lack of
access of legal advice and evidence that at the time he began his
confession he was in a state of high anxiety.” Olive Tunstall’s detailed
29-page report confirms that there are serious doubts about Gilbert’s
conviction.<br />
<br />
There is another point which is significant. While the judge was summing
up in the Kamara case, some of the jurors asked him why, in the police
photograph of the murder scene, a full bottle of milk and what looks
like a newspaper are clearly evident on a dresser. The jurors rightly
wanted to know how they got there. They must have been carried into the
shop by somebody, but certainly not by the manager if he was, according
to Gilbert’s confession, struggling vigorously against two robbers. It
is possible that someone else had entered the shop, perhaps someone
connected with the previous day’s threat, and was lying in wait for the
manager, who himself brought in the milk and the paper. However, thanks
to Gilbert’s confession and the witness evidence of identification
against Kamara, it does not seem to have occurred to the Judge that the
murder might have been committed by somebody else. All he could say in
reply to the question from the jurors was “It is so difficult to
understand why it matters.”<br />
<br />
Not that it did much matter for Gilbert. Some days after the trial in
November 81 began - two juries were discharged - Gilbert got up and
changed his plea to guilty. His words were: “This has been going on
long enough, so I want to change from Not Guilty to Guilty”. At that
point the judge stopped him from going further. It is at least possible
that he was going on to say that Kamara had not been with him.<br />
<br />
Why would he make that admission granted the lack of evidence against
him, and did he realise that in so doing he was probably shutting prison
doors on himself for a long time? <br />
<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
Gilbert’s explanation for the change of plea was that he was threatened
in prison that he would be “done” if he did not get Kamara off. He was
certainly in prison with some very tough people, quite capable of making
and putting such threats into action. He may also have thought he was
doomed anyway after his written confession and wanted to get the whole
business over with.</div>
<br />
Gilbert has now spent over 35 years in prison, 20 years over tariff, he
begins his 36th year on Wednesday 16th March 2016. His efforts to get
Kamara off at the trial did not succeed, though he did try again in
prison in 1982 by suggesting that someone else, not Kamara, had been his
partner. Once he was moved to another prison, in 1982 away from those
intimidating him, he again claimed that he was innocent. <br />
<br />
For the last 35 years he has maintained his innocence. If he had taken
the parole road, admitted guilt, and been conformist in prison, he would
certainly be out of prison now. Today his case would never have gone to
trial. A confession, with all its contradictions, obtained as Gilbert’s
was would be rejected as evidence.<br />
<br />
However, the Criminal Cases Review Commission, in March 2000, denied
Gilbert access to the Court of Appeal. When the Commissioners made that
decision they could not have known that Kamara’s separate appeal would
be upheld in May 2000. This decision by the Court of Appeal to free
Kamara undermines the credibility of Gilbert’s entire confession.<br />
<br />
I have visited him many times since I was made aware of the case and
have visited him in many prisons. It is clear to me, not only that that
his guilt has not been proved beyond reasonable doubt, but that he is
an innocent man unjustly imprisoned. This year or next he might be
released on parole. He is now doing some ‘outside’ work. I keep my
fingers crossed.</div>

<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1458032131874_2004">I
appreciate that in recent times there has been a raising of awareness
on victim impact, which I wholeheartedly support. However, this can not
be at the expense of jeopardising British standards of the process of a
fair and legal trial. Victims and their families are, understandably,</span><span class="yiv4435984999word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1458032131874_2007"> highly
emotional in the aftermath of any offence. Feelings such as these must
not be allowed to have a place in the rule of law, to ensure a fair and
just legal system. There are good reasons why matters are placed into
impartial hands of our police and courts. Nor should policing or courts
be pressurised by angry mob mentalities to make arrests and rulings in
order to appease an enraged public. Such decisions should not be placed
in the care of those whose emotional turmoil may lead to the desire of
locking people up and throwing away the key, but by those who can
impartially assess and appraise the individual nuances and circumstances
of each and every case. As a society that values individuality we
understand that generalisation born from prejudicial attitudes rarely
offers fairness.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1458032131874_1990" style="text-align: justify;">
<span> </span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1458032131874_2008" style="text-align: justify;">
But
what about the emotional impact on the families? Well, systems in other
countries successfully manage these issues without compromising the
right to a fair and just trial. For example victim impact statements at
sentencing. Once guilt or innocence has been established, by good police
work and competent legal professionals, victims can then play a role
without prejudicing proceedings. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1458032131874_2008" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1458032131874_2008" style="text-align: justify;">
Currently, it is possible that victims
can influence outcomes of trials with their rights to express in the
media allegations of guilt and innocence coupled with, what may be
viewed as character assassinations of those standing trial, based solely
on their own assumptions and before the evidence is put before a court.
This is a right many defendants' claim they are denied as they can only
idly stand by, bound by laws that do not allow the defendant to
challenge these assignations or address misinformation that colour
public opinion unfavourably against them. We all want to see justice
being served, but with such comprises is it justice? Is the right person
being put behind bars, or should we ask ourselves are we just out for
blood?</div>

[Originally published in <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/jan-cunliffe/when-the-law-takes-the-wr_b_9354422.html" target="_blank">The Huffington Post</a>]</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Way back in 1984 when I was a little girl with no idea what my future
held, the law took a wrong turn. A turn I was oblivious to, but one
that would one day engulf my entire life for over eight and a half
years. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On a hot summer night in 1991 I gave birth to my first
child, a healthy baby boy with the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen.
Less than a year later I did the same again. I was the luckiest woman
in the world; they were my pride and joy, always full of fun and
sometimes a little bit naughty. I don't recall a month, a week or even a
day that I was unhappy, although I am certain there must have been
moments. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Everything changed in 2007 again on a hot summers night
when both my 15 year old boys were charged with the murder of Garry
Newlove. None of us knew Mr Newlove, his wife or his three daughters,
but all of us were overwhelmed with grief that a 47 year old man had
died so unnecessarily in his bare feet just 500 yards from his home. I
am no detective but it was clear in the initial police interviews that
my boys not only played no part in his attack, but they had not even
witnessed it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The press reported it as a savage gang attack, yet
the Police Forensic Pathologist on oath, said the victims injuries were
not consistent with a beating, that Mr Newlove had died because of a
single unique injury. For all of us the trial process was about finding
the truth, giving that truth to the jury so they could reach the correct
verdict and satisfying the bereaved family that justice had been done. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The
jury came back after 10 agonising days of deliberations and out of the
five teenage defendants they found three of them guilty of joint
enterprise murder and acquitted two. One of those found guilty was my
eldest son, Jordan Cunliffe, by now he was age 16, but still my baby.
The terrified pitch of the scream that came from his broken heart will
be a sound I will never forget. The sight of his beautiful brown eyes as
they blindly tried to search his brother out will be a vision I will
carry until my dying day. How could the British justice system that
claims to be the finest in the world, do this to a vulnerable child, a
child who was proven in court not to have murdered anyone, yet still
found him guilty of murder? It was because the law took a wrong turn in
1984, when I was a little girl and long before he was born. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The
months turned in to years, the agony into frustration, but never
bitterness. I knew the law was wrong, I knew my boy was innocent, so I
set out on a mission to prove just that. With a strong feeling that he
could not possibly be the only one that this dreadful thing had happened
to I sought out others. I was lucky enough to meet like-minded women
who felt just as I did. Beautiful, courageous women who trusted my
judgement and supported me through my darkest days. And believe me those
days were very dark, so dark and filled with madness I refuse to step
too close even when just recalling them. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jordan was considered
registered blind on the night of the incident. He suffers from acute
kerataconus and corneal scaring in both eyes. No matter how hard Jordan
tried then or how he tries now he will never be able to explain what
happened that night as his failing eyes saw nothing. On conviction the
Judge in his wisdom placed a gagging order on anyone broadcasting his
disability, all of which added further to my extreme misery. How could I
explain his case to people if the most important aspect of who he was
could never be told? There were so many things during the trial and
afterwards that have gone wrong for Jordan. The use of the possibility
of foresight that death or serious injury may occur during a spontaneous
act of violence that lasted between 3 and 10 seconds on a blind child
was just one them. How can anyone logically foresee what may unfold if
they cannot see what is happening in the first place? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am now
overjoyed that the Supreme Court made the right decision on Thursday
18th February 2016, when they came to the conclusion that the
controversial legal doctrine of joint enterprise had taken a wrong turn
and since then been misinterpreted for over three decades. It was
vindication for all I have been saying for over 8 years. I wish I was
the kind of woman that could say the agony of losing Jordan was worth it
if it means what happened to him will never happen quite so easily ever
again, but I would be a liar. Until Jordan Cunliffe is acquitted he
must remain in prison and continue serving a life sentence for a murder
he never committed. And as his mother I will continue to fight for the
freedom and respect that he deserves. </div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">What an amazing day Thursday 18th February
2016 turned out to be. We were number two slot on the news. The Prime Minister
made an announcement on the same morning, and according to a reliable media
source it’s terribly rude not to put him on first even if what comes second is
more interesting. I'm sure you're all aware that after the joyous reporting of
the morning things started to falter with some of the mainstream media by late
afternoon. That is probably because the BBC news website had gained over a million
watched hits by lunchtime and bad murderous news stories sell better than good
old fashioned success stories. This is perhaps why tactics changed by Friday
morning with some of the papers awash with foolish headlines such as, 'Hundreds
of Dangerous Murders Could Walk Free due to Supreme Court Ruling'. Don't worry
though the Supreme Court Judges soon put the record straight and many MP's and
knowledgeable legal people jumped on board to quash the mayhem via social
media.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Facebook and Twitter was on fire with
concerns from members of the public who were horrified that the law had taken a
wrong turn for over three decades. Some were concerned that killers really
would be set free, but still accepted how wrong it was that people who hadn't
committed a murder were doing life for murder. There was some input from victims’
families, you may have noticed how they were confused and worried about the
implications of the ruling, and quite rightly so.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It was never the job of <b><span style="color: red;">JENGbA</span></b> to inform victims’ families
that a joint enterprise case was being heard at the Supreme Court, and even if
it was possible to track down every family who had lost a love one and seen a
conviction gained via joint enterprise, (which it isn't), it would have been
highly inappropriate for us to contact them anyway. Firstly because we are here
to support you, and secondly we had no idea what the result was going to be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It seemed to me that some journalists felt
there was a battle between victims of crime and victims of injustice. I am always
asked how I feel about the victims, of course there is only one answer, and it
is the same answer that every sane person would have. No victim was asked how
they would feel if they found out that an innocent person was serving a life
sentence for murder? We are not at war with the victims and nor should they be
with us. The law took a wrong turn in 1984, the law got it wrong and because of
that we are all paying a heavy price. Don't ever feel angry with the victims’
families, they have had the wool pulled over their eyes throughout, and it must be devastating to now have to
come to terms with the possibilities of what the future may throw at them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">So much news following the ruling means the
vultures are circling. Good stories about miscarriages of justice sell
newspapers, and a good documentary idea gets commissioned, so there is money to
be made from all of our misery. I'm personally not worried about the media
because if time and money can be invested by others in getting the message out
there I welcome it, (as long as it is the truth). Many families did this and
many more can contribute in the future, but they may want your permission
first. I would say let them help you if they are willing to do so.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">However, I am seeing law firms pop up
declaring their acute awareness of the Supreme Court’s judgment and falling
over themselves with promises of help. All I can say is <b><span style="color: red;">JENGbA</span></b> has been campaigning for
years, we have struggled on a shoestring and to the best of my knowledge some
of the names I'm seeing come out of the woodwork right now never showed an
ounce of genuine concern for any of you or the <b><span style="color: red;">JENGbA</span></b> campaigners as we struggled
to inform the public and MP's alike on the failings of joint enterprise.
However, that is not to say it is all about the money and that alone, maybe
they do have morals and a genuine concern. Only you can decide where and how
you move forward, and who with. Just remember for those of you who are not
wealthy, it should not cost you or your family anything right now. If you are asked
for money upfront please contact <b><span style="color: red;">JENGbA</span></b> and we will find out why.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="wp-caption-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Five years later, and job half done </b></span></div>
<div class="wp-caption-text" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When </span><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">JENGbA</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> (Joint Enterprise Not Guilty by Association) was formed in September 2010, we had no idea how many people were serving life in prison for murders committed by other people. Neither did the CPS which did not even bother to record when the common law doctrine of joint enterprise was applied in multiple prosecutions.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We suspected the number might be large but nothing like the 600 (and
growing) who have been discovered so far. It is no wonder that the
Council of Europe’s figures show that the UK has the <a href="http://fullfact.org/news/are-there-more-life-sentence-prisoners-uk-rest-europe-combined/">largest proportion of lifers for the population than the rest of Europe combined</a>.
The projected cost of incarcerating so many prisoners for long
sentences is staggering. It is also no wonder that the prison estate is
bursting at the seams in England & Wales.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We knew joint enterprise was unfair and that it discriminated against
people for being poor, young, black, Asian or from other ethnic
minorities. We knew the popular press was quick to swallow the easy
label of ‘gang murder’ fed by politicians from all parties vying to be
seen as ‘tough on crime’. We saw some police spokespersons gloating
triumphantly as they claimed the streets were safer due to the deterrent
of joint enterprise, although knife crime is currently on the rise. We
witnessed the ease with which the CPS scored flimsy convictions on the
basis of what someone supposedly anticipated another person might
do. Joint enterprise had become the perfect thought-crime and the UK
was apparently the better for its wide application in the courts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But we did not yet know how to tackle this injustice. Our Inside
Campaigners, as we call the growing number of joint enterprise lifers,
were reviled in the media as the worst of the worst and blamed for the
most appalling acts of cruelty and violence possible. What could a
small group of women and families do to change the law?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We talked, we met, we sought advice from concerned legal
professionals. We learned as much as we could about this Common Law
doctrine and found who was speaking out against its misuse. We were
surprised to discover that some very distinguished politicians, senior
judges, legal academics and many others shared our concerns.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And as the <span style="color: red;">JENGbA</span> family grew, our Outside Campaigners became more
confident and our voices grew louder. We knew we were making headway
when knee-jerk critics poured scorn on our campaign and some career
politicians tried to write us off as misguided do-gooders or families
of criminals who were too blinded to accept the reality of what our
loved ones had done.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But we didn’t slink away defeated and ashamed. We knew we were right
to challenge this legal abuse and we gained more interest and support.
<span style="color: red;">JENGbA</span> has been aided, guided and bolstered in our campaign by many
wonderful supporters, from ordinary people helping stuff newsletters
into envelopes and joining demonstrations to extraordinary people –
actors, musicians, authors, legal practitioners & lecturers,
reporters and even some politicians from all leanings who put hard
principles before cheap popularity.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It all culminated in the UK Supreme Court this week with the electric
moment when Lord Neuberger declared that the law had taken a wrong
turning 30 years ago. <span style="color: red;">JENGbA</span> finally knew our campaign with others for
joint enterprise reform had been successful. The imbalance in the
criminal law of England, Wales and Northern Ireland had shifted towards
fairness and a higher evidential threshold needed for conviction had
been restored. Prosecutors would have to work harder to prove guilt and
individual responsibility would matter more than collective liability.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But what now for the 600-plus already known to <span style="color: red;">JENGbA</span> and for other
unknown joint enterprise lifers? And what now for <span style="color: red;">JENGbA</span> itself?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is far from over. The hard work begins of ensuring all those
convicted unfairly by joint enterprise are identified and their cases
reviewed as quickly as possible. <span style="color: red;">JENGbA</span> will hold those charged with
this task to account. The means by which the courts and Ministry of
Justice will deal with those affected by this week’s landmark ruling
have yet to be worked out. We wait for the UK government’s response and
to hear exactly what is proposed. But <span style="color: red;">JENGbA</span> will not rest until all the
men, women, boys and girls condemned unfairly to life sentences by
Joint Enterprise are given fair justice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For some, the convictions should be erased and they should be helped
to rebuild their lives as innocent, exonerated citizens. For others, the
murder convictions should be quashed and replaced by lesser convictions
with smaller penalties. For few, their guilt may not alter and
sentences remain in force but even for these they should be afforded a
case review to ensure the law has properly taken its course.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Those affected by unjust convictions should be given legal help as
the cost of doing so is far outweighed by the burden on the state of
keeping them unfairly locked up. The overcrowding of prisons will be
eased and huge savings can be achieved in the process of redressing
injustices. Help and compensation should be available for those whose
lives have been cruelly disrupted by unfair convictions. Again, this is
a small cost against the public financial burden of incarcerating
people unjustly for many years. The personal costs of injustice on the
prisoners and their loved ones cannot be calculated but <span style="color: red;">JENGbA</span> feels
some provision to help those affected must be offered, not as an
appeasement for judicial abuse but as a marker of a civilised society.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We wait to see what happens but we will not wait too long. Your call, Mr Gove.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Legal history has been made today - the law of joint
enterprise as we know it is dead. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This was a law which allowed someone to be sent to prison
for life merely because he or she foresaw what someone else might do. We said
that it was a “lazy” law, a short-cut to conviction which confused juries and
judges alike and which has resulted in widespread miscarriages of justice for
decades.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For more than five years, <span style="color: red;">JENGbA</span> has campaigned tirelessly
for change. The Supreme Court has listened
and we have been vindicated. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Gloria Morrison of <span style="color: red;">JENGbA</span> said:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“It has the taken the hard work of many people over many
years to get to this stage but we were never in any doubt that reform would
come. The more we talked to people about joint enterprise, the more they became
convinced that it had to change. We are grateful to the Justice Select Committee
for their work. Their call for a change in the law was a turning point. There
are many academics, lawyers and journalists who have helped us along the way.
We wish to thank them all but in particular, we are indebted to our patrons,
Lord Herman Ouseley and Jimmy McGovern, whose drama Common brought home to
millions the injustice that the law of joint enterprise caused. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">JENGbA</span> has achieved
one of its central aims, but our job is far from over. There are huge numbers
of prisoners, many serving life sentences, who have been convicted under a law
which the Supreme Court has acknowledged was a “wrong turn”. This judgement will
offer new hope to them, to their families and their friends. We will fight to
overturn every wrongful conviction.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Simon Natas of ITN Solicitors, <span style="color: red;">JENGbA</span>’s lawyer said:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“This is a great day for justice. The Court unanimously
ruled that the principle of liability based on foresight was fundamentally
wrong; the product of an “incomplete and in some respects erroneous reading of
the previous case law” which could not be justified on public policy
grounds. In short, the law was unfair,
set the bar for conviction far too low and quite simply, did not work. The law
was always indefensible, but now it has been confined to history. ”</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em>London, UK</em> -- Police and prosecutors scheme to secure
convictions of persons who did not participate in any crime. Racial
minorities disproportionately bear the brunt of this improper practice. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sounds like too many cities across the United States.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, this practice of racist law enforcement is also rampant in
three of the largest cities in England, including the capital city of
London, according to a report released recently by the Centre For Crime
and Justice Studies of Manchester Metropolitan University.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“The key findings [indicate] the criminal justice system is more
flawed than we might imagine,” states the conclusion of the report
entitled “Dangerous associations: joint enterprise, gangs and racism.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The study documents that claims by police in Britain that young
blacks dominate gang membership and thus are demonstrably the most
violent are incorrect. Police and court data cited in the report
document that black youth were not those who committed the most serious
youth violence. In London for example, police list blacks as 72 percent
of that city’s gang members. But official data collected for the report
stated non-blacks committed 73 percent of the serious youth violence in
London.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="Tottenham rights activist Scott with report co-authors Clarke (left) and Williams (right) -LBWPhoto" class="image image-preview " height="200" src="http://thiscantbehappening.net/sites/default/files/images/2xTottenhamReportMeeting1-16_opt_opt.jpg" title="Tottenham rights activist Scott with report co-authors Clarke (left) and Williams (right) -LBWPhoto" width="315" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="caption"><strong>Tottenham rights activist Scott with report co-authors Clarke (left) and Williams (right) -LBWPhoto</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="caption"><strong><br /></strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The report found that prosecutors during trials of youthful suspects
seize upon on the gang label levied by police to create a sinister
perception of criminality that boost prosecutors chances of obtaining
convictions. Prosecutors often push non-crime related ‘evidence’ such as
listening to rap music and texting friends, particularly in cases where
the defendant was not at the scene of the crime…or even where the
defendant may not have known a crime would ever occur.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“The language of gangs is conflated with serious violence,” report
co-author Becky Clarke said when presenting findings of the report
during a presentation at Parliament attended by members of both the
House of Commons and the House of Lords. Clarke is a Senior Lecturer in
the Sociology Department of Manchester Metropolitan University.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Clarke’s co-author colleague, Patrick Williams, noted during an
earlier presentation that “just because someone is from the same area
and is a certain color does not make them a gang member.” Williams, a
Senior Lecturer in Criminology at Manchester Metropolitan University,
said there are racially prejudicial purposes in the gang labeling done
by police in Britain. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The report leveled particular criticism at Britain’s infamous Joint
Enterprise Law, an enforcement mechanism that is literally ‘guilt by
association.’ Under this law imprisonment can occur for a crime that the
person did not commit or even know about. While the report found
disproportionate use of Joint Enterprise against blacks, there is also a
class-based application with JE with its use often against
working-class and poor whites.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Center researchers Clarke and Williams called JE part of a “process
of criminalization” that they said is rooted in race and class.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One often cited outrage under Joint Enterprise was the conviction of a
blind teen whom friends took for a walk during which one person in the
group scuffled with an older man, resulting the death of the drunken
adult who, according to the evidence, had instigated the confrontation.
Police and prosecutors asserted the blind teen, who is white, should
have fled the scene by himself when he heard the fatal encounter
escalating, despite his inability to see.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Patricia Brown knows the pain of flawed, race-driven JE
policing/prosecution. Her eldest son Tirrell Davis is serving a life
sentence for a murder that occurred in March 2007 when he was at home.
Davis saw a fight while walking home from high school but left the
scene. A fatal stabbing later that day, which occurred during a
continuation of that fight, led to Davis’ arrest and JE conviction
despite his complete non-involvement in that stabbing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“The head of the jury at my son’s trial was a police sergeant! How
does that happen?” Brown said. Brown a member of Joint Enterprise Not
Guilty by Association. JENGbA is an activist organization pushing for
the repeal of JE.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During the presentation of the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies
report inside a meeting room in the Parliament building, both liberal
and conservative members of Parliament criticized the law.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Robert Neill, a Tory Party member of Parliament’s House of Commons, said JE “does not operate justly.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stephen Pound, a liberal Labour Party MP, said, “We haven’t said
enough about the suffering of people swept up with this absurd law. [JE]
is wrong at every level. This is injustice writ large.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another liberal member of the House of Commons, Andrew Slaughter,
stressed that even families of murder victims are critical of JE.
“Victims want to see people punished. But they want the right people
punished, not just convictions of anyone and everyone.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Over 3,000 persons are serving JE sentences, a spokesman for the
Centre for Crime and Justice Studies stated. JE sentences range from a
low of three years to life in prison. Surveys returned by 241 inmates
during the Centre’s study found 21 persons under the 17-years-old age

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Investigative committees of Parliament have twice issued reports
critical of JE. During that presentation of the Centre’s report, Lord
Beith, who served on one investigative committee, said evidence
indicates that JE reforms promised by the Crown Prosecution Service have
been inadequate.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Police officers are telling the public that you can be convicted
weather you know of a planned crime or not. That contradicts claims by
prosecutors and the government that [JE] needs knowing foresight,” House
of Lords member Beith said. The JE law requires that a person charged
had knowledge of the crime before it was committed - the foresight
requirement. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Joint Enterprise has inherent and dangerous weaknesses,” Beith stressed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Centre researchers Clarke and Williams presented findings of their
report at a community meeting in the Tottenham section of North London
the night before their presentation in Parliament. Tottenham is where an
August 2011 fatal police shooting of a black man sparked rioting that
spread from London to cities around England.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stafford Scott, the veteran rights activist in Tottenham who hosted
the community meeting, said reading the report gave him the sensation of
having seen such findings too many times before wit failures by
repeated governments - conservative and liberal - to effectively address
racist law enforcement.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Blacks and minorities are disproportionately effected by the way the state uses its power sources,” Scott said.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“The young are given sentences longer than they have been on earth
for crimes they didn’t commit. We need to get this Joint Enterprise law
removed from the books.”</span></div>

turned out in numbers, but CCJS had also registered the event on their website
so the Committee room 14 was nearly full, including MPs and members of the
Upper House. Becky and Patrick did a
concise presentation of the report, and the key findings were handed to
attendees including a letter that the Met Police are handing out in London
housing estates. This letter from the

disproportionally targets young BAME people and is institutional racist, so we
thoroughly welcomed the report which put our evidence into a coherent argument
by analytical academics. The ‘gang’
label is so easily applied in JE prosecutions including family members
especially from the Travelling Community and as the study shows Black
youth. We have a case where a Judge
described 5 Black children (just 13 to 15 years old) as ‘might not have been <i>in</i> a gang’ – they were walking home from
school – ‘but you were a gang on the day’.

<span style="color: #444444; font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Andrew Mitchell did an excellent job
of Chairing and asked MP’s present in the room to respond to the report’s
findings after Becky and Patrick made their presentation. Lord
Beith was asked to comment first as he had been the Chair of the previous
Justice Select Committee whose 2<sup>nd</sup> report on the issue demanded
‘urgent reform’. Lord Beith agreed that
the report was very troubling and racial discrimination was something that the
previous JSC had been concerned about.
Also that with each conviction, no matter if the individual had been on
the periphery of a crime the fact that a
mandatory life sentence must be handed down was an abomination an absolute
travesty. He cited the example of cases were individuals were just standing by
but had been convicted of murder by JE and given a life sentence as utterly
shambolic and a stain on the British justice system. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 11.5pt;">Andy Slaughter thanked </span><span style="color: red; font-size: 11.5pt;">JENGbA</span><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 11.5pt;"> for keeping him ‘on his toes’ with
the issue and had been following the work of the campaign and congratulated us
for keeping it in the forefront thus far. He agreed with Lord Beith that the urgent
reform called for by the JSC was now needed as JE prosecutions were not seen as
‘just’ by cross party members and many of his constituents were affected. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 11.5pt;">And this continued around the
room. Steven Pound, who I have written
from the day Ken was convicted, again congratulated the strength of </span><span style="color: red; font-size: 11.5pt;">JENGbA</span><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 11.5pt;">’s campaign and called for more
pressure to be put on Government to do something sooner rather than later. The
call for reform was reiterated by Kate Osamor, who said she was a newly
appointed MP for Enfield but having grown up in Tottenham knew how her
community was affected by JE prosecutions. Baroness Young also said she was
going to follow developments closely as her own report on institutionalised
racism within the Justice System still needs spotlighting. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 11.5pt;">When Andrew asked the newly appointed
Chair of the Justice Select Committee Robert Neil to comment </span><span style="color: red; font-size: 11.5pt;">JENGbA</span><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 11.5pt;"> families started looking at each
other as if we were on another planet.
Five years of campaigning, five years of shouting that our loved ones
are not murderers yet are serving mandatory life sentences for murder, and
every single person in the room (approx. 130) seemed to agree with us. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.95pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.95pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 11.5pt;">Robert Neil said that JE was an
outdated law which was ripping families apart; it was corrosive and he vowed to
make sure the matter of joint enterprise stays at the forefront. He knew of the case in the Supreme Court R v
Jogee, and hoped that would go some way to making progress. He also thanked </span><span style="color: red; font-size: 11.5pt;">JENGbA</span><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 11.5pt;"> for the relentless campaigning and
promised that it was not an issue the JSC would ignore but would ensure the
previous work of the JSC and call for ‘urgent reform’ would be something they
implemented. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 11.5pt;">For me and
the other </span><span style="color: red; font-size: 11.5pt;">JENGbA</span><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 11.5pt;"> families
attending the meeting it was far beyond anything we anticipated, and we think
the tipping point. So thank you MMU Patrick and Becky and all at the CCJS who
helped make this meeting happen. For so
many cross party MP’s to be in agreement with the aims and objectives of </span><span style="color: red; font-size: 11.5pt;">JENGbA</span><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 11.5pt;">’s campaign
was truly inspirational, exactly what
the campaign needed enforcing; an agreement that we are right. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.95pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 11.5pt;">In the Q
& A I asked the panel for advice.
The report is so important, it proves everything </span><span style="color: red; font-size: 11.5pt;">JENGbA</span><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 11.5pt;"> has been arguing;
Joint Enterprise is a racist doctrine that is an attack on the working class,
but particularly an easy tool to scope innocent Black and Ethnic minority. My question was how can we ensure, when </span><span style="color: red; font-size: 11.5pt;">JENGbA</span><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 11.5pt;"> wins (because
if anything convinced me we would it was this meeting!) that our Inside
Campaigners (650 prisoners and rising every day) have their sentences reviewed.
If reform comes we do not want to be in the same boat as all those who were
given IPP’s and still inside years after abolition. The panel
told us to keep on the way we are going, keep the pressure up. Of course we will because none of us will
give up on our loved ones, but it is a reassuring notion that those in the
corridors of power agree with us. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had a call last week from my Ken, and he told me something
really interesting. He had not called in
a while so I had been worried that he was very down; he has served ten years
for joint enterprise murder and though coping well in the prison system I know
he just wants to come home, like all the JE inside campaigners. <span style="color: red;"><b>JENGbA</b></span>’s
Birmingham co-ordinator Tim Caines (an innocent man who served 16 years joint
enterprise murder “with an unknown” as the victim was killed by a white man and
Tim is black) told me that after several years in prison no matter how much you
fight your wrongful conviction there comes a point when, for mental
self-preservation, you just have to get on with it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ken told me his HMP have educational days for students of criminology
and law from Universities where they are brought into the prison wings. However the students do not know what position
people hold within the jail. Ken is
extremely bright and also in his words ‘very regimented’ and so he often plays
the role of a prison officer. After 2
hours of showing the students the prison conditions and life behind cells they
then reveal who they really are. Ken
told me that all the students couldn’t believe he was a Prisoner, worse than
that, a convicted murderer. Many are
visibly moved and one woman wanted to hug him but he is not allowed a hug. When he goes on to explain his conviction
and joint enterprise he says that none of them, even though they may be going
into a legal profession have heard about the doctrine and how it is currently
being used. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The next day I received a call from a lovely grandma,
Kathleen Baptiste who I have not met but have spoken to many times. She and her niece are the only family
supporting her grandson Sebastian, and because she is waiting for an operation she
is too poorly to travel to HMP Gartree to visit and she was very worried because
she said he is feeling very low. Sebastian
like Ken was a young black Londoner who is in a prison in the north of England,
so much for keeping families connected to help rehabilitation. I have said we
will visit in the New Year. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The aunty of Jamal Parchment who called the day after asking
if we could visit her nephew in Ashworth.
Jamal sent us his artwork years ago and it is wonderful, but the toils
of being a beautiful artist and being innocently convicted have given him mental
health challenges. I promised her that
we would visit him but it is another maze of the prison system to get into a
High Security Hospital. But and this is
the beautiful bit, when Jamal was refused permission by the hospital for us to visit – he complained, first to his social
worker who said we weren’t family (In Ashworth you have to be a family member
or a supporting organisation) he
complained to his doctor who agreed we should be able to visit. His aunt said it’s the first time in years she
has seen him fight about his situation and so she was grateful that because of
<span style="color: red;"><b>JENGbA</b></span> he was not giving up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And then the heart breaking news a few weeks ago that Blue
Williams mum, Tara had killed herself because she couldn’t cope with her only
son’s wrongful conviction. His grandma
Sue contacted us and asked that we attend in our <span style="color: red;"><b>JENGbA</b></span> tops. There was only a few of the <span style="color: red;"><b>JENGbA</b></span>
campaigners able to make it but a photo journalist had been to our meetings as
she is so perplexed by joint enterprise – she asked could she come to the
funeral and Sue readily agreed. The
funeral was one of the most moving I have ever attended. Blue was brought in
handcuffed to a PO who, to be fair, was as respectful as he could be in such awful circumstances.
Sue said that Tara just felt let down every avenue she turned to in her fight
for justice for her son. She had given
one lawyer a huge amount of money only for him to go bankrupt shortly
after. Depression is a terrible illness
and one that affects many of the Inside and Outside<b> <span style="color: red;">JENGbA</span></b> Campaigners which is
why we must support each other – this is what Sue wants to do. She said Tara wanted to fight by herself but
kept hitting obstacles, she is now going to take up that fight alongside <span style="color: red;"><b>JENGbA</b></span>
and Blue is grateful, which is why they both agreed to the photojournalist
being there. The public need to see
man’s inhumanity to man when a young man has to be shackled to attend his mum’s
funeral. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A couple of days before Xmas, Roberto Parchment’s mum came
to my flat to upload a song she had made for all the <span style="color: red;"><b>JENGbA</b></span> supporters on to
You Tube. Neither of us knew anything
about this technical feat so we needed IT support (my teenage son Dan) to do it
for us. The song <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTrJz59XrQ4" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: red;">“I raised my praise”</span></b></a> is
really moving, please give it a listen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So our <span style="color: red;"><b>JENGbA</b></span> family needs to keep growing in strength and
commitment and let us all put shed loads of love out there to the brave and
vulnerable ones fighting for their freedom.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And that is my message for the New Year – we fight out here
together so Blue, Ken, Sebastian and Jamal and all our other Inside Campaigners
do not ever think they are alone or that their <b><span style="color: red;">HOPE</span></b> for justice was ever in
vain.</span></div>
