My Partially Blind Son Didn’t See The Murder He Was Jailed For | Guilty Bystander | Channel 4

A Mum argues that her partially sighted teenage son could not have committed the murder he was jailed for.

Garry Newlove’s murder stormed the headlines back in 2007. He was attacked by a group of teenagers outside his home after confronting them for vandalising his van.

Jordan Cunliffe was 15 at the time of the attack, and was jailed for life under the controversial Joint Enterprise law alongside two other teenagers.

Jordan was due to receive transplant surgery to treat Keratoconus, an eye condition that rendered him partially blind, just three weeks after the attack took place. Jordan’s mother, Jan, argues that Jordan could not have been complicit in the attack if he could not see it happen.

Guilty Bystander explores the dramatic stories of people convicted under joint enterprise law. They are in prison for a murder they were not present for, or even knew was going to happen.
