Why My Autistic Brother’s Murder Conviction Is WRONG | Guilty Bystander | Channel 4

- One sister’s fight to get her brother’s ‘guilty by association’ murder conviction scrapped.
When a shopping trip in the summer of 2013 spiralled into a spontaneous confrontation, Taqui Khezihi was fatally stabbed.
Alex Henry was convicted of his murder despite someone else confessing to the crime - and Alex claims he was unaware that there was a knife at the scene at all. Now campaigning for his release and a complete overhaul of joint enterprise law in the UK criminal justice system, Alex’s sister Charlotte shares his story. She argues a subsequent diagnosis of autism is further evidence to support that he couldn’t have foreseen the murder.
Guilty Bystander explores the dramatic stories of people convicted under joint enterprise law. Some were charged with a crime they were not present for, or even knew was going to happen.

Not one bit of consideration for the mum who can only visit her son's grave.
I’m tired of people using diagnoses like ADHD or Autism to excuse criminal behaviour.
Autism isn’t a get out of jail free card. They still know right from wrong and he was there and involved whether he used the knife or not
I'm autistic and I agree with you.
I am autistic and have dyspraxia and I completely agree
Even if they don’t know right from wrong, they can’t be in society if they killed someone. It’s not safe.
that is not true , in order to know right or wrong you must first understand the difference; don’t assume you know because I have someone who is this way
I'm acoustic and definitely singing from the same hymn sheet.
My big brother got 14 years for a murder his friend committed he didn’t even know or come in contact with the victim,I relate to this fully these things happen a lot more than people think and could happen to anyone
Please explain how...
Well he has to be related to the crime somehow
Unfortunately the intent to harm was there, he ran over and was in the altercation. When I see them running off after it makes me shiver these people are dangerous I'm sorry autism alone is irrelevant. He's clearly high functioning enough to be making decisions like that so it's no excuse, fair sentence literally a consequence of a very horrible action. It's very sad on all sides but nobody gets a pass when someone has lost their life over a stare.
Exactly, I found out I have some autism and ADHD but I've only found out in middle age, never knew before and I wouldn't expect to be able to use these as excuses for anything..
I think the law is used way to broadly but I don’t think they should scrap it completely I remember a kid from my school was stabbed by 16 different other kids they were all responsible and should have been all prosecuted
That boy died he was someones son and brother, then she trys to blame it on autism yet he ran to beat up these guys, get a grip.
Exactly. ALOT of people believe that those with (non-profound) disabilities/mental impairment should not be held responsible for their actions.
Agreed disability isn’t an excuse but seing as we don’t have different degrees of murder like america does with each charge having guidelines we have to make sure that murder means murder which means the killler who strikes the final blow should get life rather than the whole group however I do somewhat agree
@@samhart3528 Well we don't have different degrees but different situations will be taken into account by the judge which will result in a wildly different minimum term depending on the circumstances, from as low as 12 years to as high as a whole life order (life without parole).
I don't mean this too impersonal, but nobody would think their Brother, Mum Daughter etc would kill anyone... Yet they do,...
Not implying that He did commit serious harm (himself).
He was seen running towards the scene, rather than running away.
He was backing his boy u mug
There isn't enough information for me to make an informed opinion here...
Then why did you type this? 🤣
People are so selfish and never think about the victim and their families
so selfish and out of touch.
the entitlement is cringeworthy.
i hate hearing stories like this just from the perspective of someone who is clearly biased. wish i could have heard the prosecutors arguments
I have just watched two other joint enterprise videos, this is the first one I have watched with a white convict. It's interesting to see how the comments are really mixed on this video compared to the others were everyone supported the law against these convicts.
Charlotte is a formidable young lady and has my utmost respect. She has campaigning tirelessly for her Brother since his arrest .. During this time she has studied law and as I understand it is now qualified.. All that said I cant comment as Ive seen a few of these cases and there is a common theme.. Many of the Mothers are deluded and simply wont accept they lost control of their children and that the children have committed heinous crimes.. For the record, I suspect Alex should never have been locked up... There is a type and Alex isnt it.. Good luck to the family going forward ..
Unfortunately you can't just release someone from prison because they don't seem the "type" to do it. Also, looking at the facts, expelled from school at 11, started hanging around in the streets, smoking drugs etc, id personally say he very much was the "type" to get in fights, assault people and even carry a knife himself (although I realise there is no evidence of this here) and if one of these fights would result in murder, then all in the group involved should be charged with murder, as it is the aggression and willingness to fight and assault people which has resulted in the murder (regardless who delivered the killing blow. Funny how many autistic kids do not get permanently excluded from school at a shockingly young age. If he did not get involved in the fight along with his mates he would not be in prison, simple as that.
@@TheGamingMEL0N
In totality agree she is to personally involved. He could be released to kill again , it has happened
he is it!
completely responsible for the crime.
she needs to get a grip
She starts the video of explaining that he actually was clearly a trouble maker and had really shit friends. They aren't helping the case at all.
'Let him have it '...
A great examlple
He threw punched and got involved so guilty
Guilty of assault or ABH, but not murder.
"Joint enterprise" needs a much clearer definition.
@@philipr1567 he could have had a knife and stabbed him you don't know?
@@neilrogers6123 There was no clear evidence that he had a knife. But you're right - I wasn't there so I can't know for certain.
@@philipr1567 fair point mate
Supreme Court ruled the law was misinterpreted for 32 years.However the judges refuse to put right their own mistakes. Instead they prefer to see young lives rotting in jail.
Sorry criminals are criminals and he wanted to cause harm he hit the person grounds for a murder charge sorry darling stop trying to preach innocent when his guilt is clear
Oh no a man who goes around with friends who carry knifes can’t come out of prison what a shame
You have to have this law as if cctv isn’t present then all three would just say it wasn’t me and they would all get away with murder, as it would be hard to pin point who done it, they would just say in the investigation Room “no comment “ then get released
My husband works with autism in Japan we both live here and he knows they are capable of murder. There was a crime 10 years ago we’re a young woman killed a random stranger for no good reason. He says they can kick off in 0-10 as he says. The problem is, this young lady is far too close to this case so has impared sight on this case. If things don’t go their way they go to the media.
He might be to dangerous to released . You can see she is far too emotional and too personally involved. Take a step back . He could kill again once upon release
One person commits a crime 10 years ago and you're making a statement about an entire group of people...this is ableist AF. Autistic people are statistically far more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators.
I'm not saying anything about the case, I'm saying don't make harmful and highly stigmatising sweeping statements. It's worrying that your husband puts this about when he works with Autistic people...I assume he's supposed to help and protect them rather than perpetuate stigma?
thank you for your perspective.
She really needs a grip on reality.
"What more can we produce". Yeah, nothing. Justice is served.
I don’t think he should have been convicted of murder,
But he was running over to get stuck in,
F…. All to do with autism,
He should have got a suspended sentence for GBH
Knew there was something wrong so ran towards it ffs she's off her head, he done it end of
He should have walked away.
Imagine this was all over a stare!!
I think she needs to take off her rose-tinted glasses. He was there, he threw a punch, he wanted to cause harm
It's an unfair law. No doubt. But ther simply isen't any alternative. Like the cops say. With out, basically no one would be charged for Murder.
@@bendikkirkbakk1833No alternative? lol Alex may well have committed other [lesser] offences, that would result in a punishment more reflective of his part in the tragic incident. To say he’s a murder isn’t right.
And tell us her onlyfans
47 seconds to comply !!!!
Charlotte you know who i am ❤
Great to see more coverage on the dreadful abuse that is joint enterprise. The Supreme Court acknowledged 32 yrs of injustice yet they refuse to put right their mistakes. JENGbA campaigners keep up the fight
He isn’t a killer but did deserve prison time but not murder however he still played a role and should have got a prison sentence not for murder as we don’t have degrees of murder like america the English definition is if you intended serious harm he got done because he associated with gang members and ran towards the scene that’s why they convicted him because joint enterprise for murder means that if you have any sort of supposed encouragement he showed encouragement because he parcticpared in the fight also it’s too late for appeal over all joint enterise can be nessecary but logical people need to understand that punishment needs to fit the crime
This is not the case to use as an example of what is wrong with joint enterprise. The boy ran into the conflict, he started fighting with them and he was fully active. The stabbing most likely was done by his friend but prior to that Alex did NOTHING to stop the situation and just contributed to the melee.
I know people in my own circle who have been charged due to joint enterprise. Listen its simple if you put yourself in a criminal situation you have to be aware of the consequences.
Autisum, ADHD etc does not excuse the actions they only give more of an understanding of the person.
The other guy died. He is dead. He will never be here again. You're brother will eventually come home.
He is facing the consequences so you crying and taking accountability away is crazy. I get it as its your blood but I don't think this documentary was the right choice when it comes to discussing about joint enterprise.
This is such a difficult one 😪 💜 but someone did get killed, what I will say is its amazing he has a sister whos fighting hard for him we'd all want someone fighting our corner in that situation.
How many young black boys have been in the same scenario but they don’t have a channel 4 documentary? She speaks a good game but we all know right from wrong!!
yeah... he's a murderer🤷♀
someone's murdered but this Alex is the victim . modern narrative in a nutshell . she's in denial of who her brother really is
I hope that the law changes
I hope the law changes
I feel sorry for your country it’s gone to the dogs!
You haters can fuck off
I knew Alex personally and he was a really nice boy i also went to school with charlotte..
He was no murderer
.
Why don't they give him a lie detector test? That'd prove it
Cant tell if that’s sarcasm or not
@@pleaseenteraname9954 it's a genuine question - I'm autistic and barely use sarcasm
@@colettesargeant6581 lie detectors are not accurate, they're a con. They cannot be used in a court of law.
@@colettesargeant6581 - The lie detector measures physiological reactions of a person replying 'yes' or 'no' to a prepared list of questions - if it records reactions associated with stress (such as breathing changes and elevated heart rate) the answer to a question can be determined as deceptive. Imagine being suspected of a crime, hooked up to a lie detector, and asked questions which could decide your future - this itself can be stressful and result in misleading interpretation of the results. Because of their unreliability, lie detector results are not admissible in court.
They don’t need a lie detector test they know who did it. He also pleaded guilty to doing it.
