They've just left? Luke's statement from July 4th 2003

-

Innocents betrayed page 60: "Part way through the police interrogation on July 4th having said that he didn’t think he had spoken to Jodi by phone on June 30th, Luke said, “No, wait, I did phone. I phoned the house... her mother’s boyfriend answered it. He said Jodi had left... he said they’d just left. I think he just meant Jodi.”

Luke's statements from July 4th were read out during the trial: 

"Wait. I phoned when I was out. I phoned them when I was out the house and I said has Jodi left yet and they went "She's just left a wee while a go", I think it was (incomprehensible).

 

Update/clarification* 

 What seems to be a transcript from Luke's 4th July 03 interview has just recently been shared online by one of the groups, pointing out that Luke replied 'they've' just left, after the part read at trial. This is the first time that this has been shared publicly, with both parts of this statement.

 In Innocents betrayed, the statement, in quotations begins with "wait, I phoned when I was out...". The 'wait' part correlates with the beginning of the trial transcript statement (above), however "she's just left" is not mentioned and instead, the book skips to 'they've' - hence the confusion and reasons for the questions.

 

This particular point seems to now have been clarified.

          There are, however, a significant number of discrepancies which remain to be addressed.

The Luke Mitchell campaign - how have things deteriorated to this?

-

  There was a time when campaigners fighting the claimed wrongful conviction of Luke Mitchell raged against the vilification of a 14 year old boy, who they shouted, had not been proven to have committed the crime. Their fight fueled by the abhorrent public denigration of an individual, by a media who cared not for facts, only sensationalism. While the campaign has evolved from the 2021 documentary, in to a petition and protests - recent online presence from campaign leaders, one in particular, seems to be well represented in the screen shots below.  This online torrent of personal attacks appears to come as a response to campaigners highlighting discrepancies between newly released transcripts, and freedom of information responses - and 'case facts' provided by the two main campaign leaders.  Some of the people asking questions are individuals who have dedicated the past few years of their lives to fighting for the truth and believing that a miscarriage of justi...

Transcript comparisons

   A comparison is made between the information in the transcripts from Luke Mitchell's trial - and information out there in the public domain - particularly books written about the case such as Innocents Betrayed, by Sandra Lean. The purpose of this is not to argue guilt or innocence but to compare information and highlight misinformation. (IB = Innocents Betrayed by Dr Sandra Lean) Luke's other girlfriend - Page 169 IB "The claim that he was planning to visit her again in July 2003 was based on Corinne’s plan to holiday in the same place – a plan that had since been cancelled. Jodi and Luke were, in fact, planning a sleepover at a friend’s house the following weekend as part of a birthday celebration – the very weekend the prosecution alleged Luke would be going to see (KT). None of the available evidence supported the claim that Luke was seeing another girl" Corinne's Transcript 13/01/2005 pages 2263 and 2264 P2263 :   Right, was he supposed to be visiting K at...

An article in the Scottish sun 20/11/22, titled 'I found a knife in a skip near where school girl Jodi Jones was murdered - before it vanished', states: " Lawyer Scott Forbes, part of Mitchell’s legal team, said: This is the real missing knife."  “Like so much of the evidence, it was either destroyed or went missing if it didn’t fit the police narrative.” A car mechanic from the Garage also said  “When I learned it wasn’t documented, it raised my suspicions the police may have tried to conceal the discovery.” Article Link:   https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/9795271/knife-skip-jodi-jones-murdered/ Scott Forbes discusses the knife in the skip in an interview on YouTube channel Premeditated patter, 01/01/23. He says:  "Recently we've found that they took swabs from that knife, but never tested it" Link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_Qkg7e7Noo&t=284s (24.54) But the knife WAS documented and tested.
