A proposed amendment to English law could stop innocent people being imprisoned under the controversial joint enterprise doctrine.
The private member’s bill, introduced by Labour’s Kim Johnson, MP for Liverpool Riverside, will get its second reading in the House of Commons on Friday. The bill is supported by public figures including TV screenwriter Jimmy McGovern, as well as actors Maxine Peake and Andrew Tiernan, all of whom are ambassadors for the campaign group Jengba (Joint Enterprise Not Guilty by Association).
