Joint Enterprise cases could have been 'wrongly interpreted'
People convicted under Joint Enterprise law may now be able to appeal their convictions.
Dozens of people convicted of murder under a law known as joint enterprise may be able to appeal their convictions.
The Supreme Court has ruled that trial judges have been wrongly interpreting part of that law for the past 30 years.
It allows for someone to be convicted of murder even if they weren't directly involved in the killing.
Janet Cunliffe's son Jordan was one of three teenagers convicted of killing Warrington Dad Garry Newlove back in 2007:-
"We've got a very strong case, so what happened today will just add weight to that anyway. i'm just really pleased it's going to offer other people an opportunity as well.
Whats happened today has proved the campaigners right. My son was convicted of murder, but he was blind, so he couldn't have encouraged an attack if he couldn't see it. You have to see that crime unfold to encourage it to happen.
I've spoken to victims who say they are distraught that some innocent people are in prison. I think today has proven we can trust justice again, but we haven't been able to for a long time."
