Automatic right to appeal for people convicted of murder under joint enterprise

What the petition asks
The government needs to make changes with joint enterprise law. People should get fair justice. We are all human beings. The government needs to let all people who are convicted of murder under joint enterprise to automatically be able to appeal their conviction charge and sentence.
I want them to grant this because murder is a big crime and putting up someone on the media and showing that they are a murderer, when they didn't actually commit that crime isn't justice. The government needs to help such people.
