Name: ‘Zombie knife’ attack sentence - Joseph Kotrie-Monson discusses the judge’s decision by Mary Monson Solicitors
Duration: 6 min 15 s
Description: Mayor of London and former Shadow Lord Chancellor Sadiq Khan has publicly criticised the judge in the Joshua Gardner knife attack case. Mary Monson Solicitors’ director explains why he believes the judge should not be criticised, when politicians and the public are only able to pass judgement with a fraction of the information.

Joint Enterprise is a legal concept that has come into the spotlight in recent years. Offences of violence involving groups of young people (often with weapons) have increased. The law on this area has increasingly been used by the police in the hope of obtaining convictions of the group even though only one person may have actually committed the offence.

In recent years, policing has taken an increasingly target driven approach to crime. More and more people are being criminalised by the justice system for, even if their actions do not physically harm a person or property. The Police and Crown Prosecution Service seem to be more focused on high charging and conviction rates than on dealing with disturbances of the peace in a more balanced manner, and public order offences are by their nature an easy way of doing this.
