🧵 What is ‘Joint Enterprise’ and why the controversy? Here goes…
Delighted to see this report published (and for the acknowledgement) : The legal dragnet examines the law and prosecution practice concerning secondary liability, often referred to as #jointenterprise read here crimeandjustice.org.uk/publications/l…
📢NEW important report from our @NishaWaller4 with @CrimeandJustice on the deeply troubling law of joint enterprise. We support @KimJohnsonMP's motion to request a comprehensive review of this area. theguardian.com/law/article/20… Full report 👇crimeandjustice.org.uk/publications/l…
Waller @NishaWaller4 said: “Joint enterprise is unjustifiably vague and wide in scope. Law reform will not eradicate institutional racism and broader issues with police and prosecution practice. However, the current law encourages the overcharging of suspects” Spot on.

@CrimeandJustice have published their new report – The Legal Dragnet. Written by @NishaWaller4, this report highlights how the current law on joint enterprise "allows and indeed encourages cases to be constructed with the absence of rigour and quality". (1/2)
This week, MPs led by @KimJohnsonMP tabled an Early Day Motion calling on the Labour government to make good on its pledge, while in opposition, to reform the joint enterprise legal dragnet that has seen friends and associates collectively punished for the crimes of an individual

It was an honour to attend the SHP24 conference for History teachers @UniversityLeeds It was a dream come true to have the opportunity to present #BlackBritishHistory to 120 history teachers who immediately recognised it as #BritishHistory that needs to be taught in schools!
I’m the Director of a youth organisation (trying to lean into saying this more) and what I’m seeing more of in the youth sector, and its PROXIMITY to POLICE, is dangerous ‼️. Kids of Colour has been running over 6 years in GM. I never had the intention of it being a full on org
Over the last few months, I had the pleasure of updating @YJLCUK Rap and Drill Legal Guide. It now has sections on the history of rap music, using legal arguments to resist the criminalisation of Black British English and legal avenues to challenge the push back against defence…
🎵 We have updated our legal guide on #rap and #drill music being used as evidence in criminal trials. This practice is often part of a racist narrative which leaves Black boys in the criminal legal system facing gross injustice. yjlc.uk/resources/lega… Big thanks to Ife…
European Court ruled today that the test for compensation after a wrongful conviction is lawful despite some judges stating its ‘virtually insurmountable’. Disappointed but ready to take the fight to the next stage. The brutal test must be scrapped! appeal.org.uk/statement-on-s…
Wrote for @IslingtonTrib about legal justice charity @we_are_APPEAL's brilliant research into the origins of majority jury verdicts - introduced in the UK in 1967 - and how they can lead to wrongful convictions ⚖️ islingtontribune.co.uk/article/calls-…
‘British MPs were concerned that the English “nobleman”would be tried by “common clay”.’ If you didn’t make it to the launch of our juries research, watch this great video by @moraglivingst It gives some detail as to the racist and classist origins of majority jury verdicts!
Piece by Jawad Iqbal on Andrew Malkinson's case: "Since walking free he has suffered indignity upon indignity... It took nine months for Helen Pitcher, the head of the CCRC, to issue an “unreserved apology” for its handling of his case — far too long." thetimes.co.uk/article/739d55…
Thank you to all who attended the launch of our report "DOUBT DISMISSED". Kicking off our campaign to improve juries in E&W, we heard from @NishaWaller4 & @NSakande, Professor Angela Allen-Bell & wrongful conviction survivors, @blackforacause, Andrew Malkinson & Dr David Sellu...
The jury system is a crucial part of the CJS. But like any other institution, it can be improved. In the wake of last week’s launch of “DOUBT DISMISSED”, a report on juries, racism, classism & wrongful conviction, we are calling for several reforms, set out in the statement below
“People shouldn’t be sent to prison for life on a majority verdict. That is insane. It should be absolutely unanimous or nothing at all, like it was for centuries before 1967.” theguardian.com/law/article/20…
End majority jury verdicts to prevent more justice ‘horror’, says Malkinson | UK criminal justice | The Guardian theguardian.com/law/article/20…
