Crilly wrote: “I’m SO down with f****** sh*t up in JACK’S name!! RIP Jack. Love you! Missing you so much already!” But Crilly was jailed for murder under a controversial “joint- enterprise” conviction by Lord Brian Leveson — the same judge who freed terrorist Khan.Joint enterprise is used to convict defendants in gang-related cases even if they did not strike the fatal blow, but could have foreseen violent acts by their associates.
