A life sentence is a harsh punishment for someone who didn’t commit the crime, yet despite the evidence in court and the judge deeming that “it was clear that you Jordan did not take part in the killing”, a guilty verdict on a murder charge was returned.

This site is intended to raise awareness to the biggest miscarriage of justice in Sunderland in recent years, which saw, albeit a foolish 16 year old Jordan in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong people.

Although mischievous, this boy is not a murderer, and despite an unsuccessful appeal attempt all who love him remains confident this charge will be over turned.

Jordan was convicted on the basis of  joint enterprise, the 300 year old law that can convict innocent bystanders who do not actully touch the victim. This law sets the standard of proof way to low. You will probably think that if you are proven innocent during trial then you won’t be convicted, think again – this law finds you guilty by association.
