Joint Enterprise: Almost Guilty

Joint Enterprise - a 300-year old doctrine - is one of the most controversial aspects of English law often used in murder cases. It accounts for nearly 18% of all homicide cases in the UK, despite this most people have never heard of it.

We went to investigate what devastating effect Joint Enterprise might have on the lives of those convicted for murder but plead innocent and their families.
