Dr Felicity Gerry is a star of the legal profession. She saved a woman in the Philippines moments before she was due to be executed and helped free a man wrongly convicted of murder in Australia.

Dr Gerry’s main passion is challenging the law around joint enterprise - where someone can be jointly convicted of the crime of another.

She persuaded the UK Supreme Court this can only be if someone intends to join in - not if they merely foresaw that the other person might commit a crime. 

Dr Gerry says thousands are still in prison for murders they were not involved in.
