INNOCENT - Jordan Cunliffe

Jordan Cunliffe is one of the men convicted of murdering Garry Newlove in Warrington. Mr Newlove was killed by a single kick to his neck, which was fatal because he had a surgical implant there.

Jordan Cunliffe did not harm Mr Newlove himself, but was convicted because he was said to be engaged in a joint enterprise with the man who did kick him. However, Jordan is blind and could not have known what was happening. Jordan did not know that anyone he was with might be violent.
