Dave & Clare tell Stories of Injustice @JENGbA event of their daughter Zoe’s exploitation from age 13. Police ignored her and her parents were desperate for help.
Zoe wasn’t involved in the victim’s death. She was a witness, not suspect.
Yet age 20 she was convicted of murder.

Yet age 20 she was convicted of murder.
She is sentenced to spend 17 years in prison. Her own position as a victim in the case was never considered or acknowledged.
She is grateful to share her sad and cruel story. “Somebody has to listen and something has to change.” #jointenterprise

Kevin Smith tells @JENGbA event:
If we still had hanging in this country now, would they have executed 109 women under #jointenterprise laws? People should think about what @cpsuk decisions mean for women convicted. Court cases are like a game for police, prosecution & CPS.

Yesterday Thanks to my colleague @CrimeGirI I was named as a "stirrer of discontent". Why might that be the case? Let me explain. In a career that has now lasted 40+years I have seen an assault on the rights of those accused of crime, all presumed innocent under the law
The requirement for the judge to warn juries about the lack of corroboration was abolished, the right to silence emasculated, hearsay evidence and bad character evidence allowed, police allowed onto juries and cross-examination curtailed by s.41 and now s28 xx in advance
Failures by police to disclose material they obviously should which would have caused disaster for an innocent man in R v Allen save that his legal aid barrister sat up all night to find the material the police already had to show his innocence
