Joint Enterprise allows trial defendants to be found ‘guilty by association’ for crimes they did not directly commit. Despite the Supreme Court ruling that this doctrine has been wrongly interpreted for more than 30 years, it is still being routinely used in manslaughter and murder cases.

They reflect upon the issues raised within the documentary and respond to audience questions.
