13 People Charged With The Same Murder?

[ferlew]

Not quite sure how 13 can be responsible for the death of one poor soul.
Fairly local to me

Can anyone help me understand, or would there be charges other than murder, ir aiding and abetting?

Conspiracy to murder?

[Old_Geezer]

Tell that to Julius Ceasar.

joint enterprise, presumably

It may be some will be found guilty and others not

Wasn't that the basic plot of Murder on the Orient Express? My memory of the film version is a bit fuzzy.

[Peter Pedant]

joint enterprize - yes

we have had this before and yes Jogee is the leading case which is here

I think this is the one that has Coke VC in 1615 - if three men on horseback set out to murder and one peels off....o god I cannot remember if the peeler is screwed or not.....

anyway joint enterprise has been around for a long long time

and less so for manslaughter.
The FIVE anaesthetists on Isle of Man were charged with gross negligence manslaughter
and at the earlies court hearing for directions,
4 were uncharged and or acquitted
