Shane didn't remember seeing Luke - but Why did Luke say Shane wasn't in the house?

-

 




Luke's statements are read out during Corinne's testimony: 



4th July 03 interview

In regards to Luke having his tea before he left to wait for Jodi:

Police: Was that with Shane and your mum?

Luke: My mum. Mum you were there, Shane wasn't was he?

Corinne: No

Corinne explains that she meant Shane was upstairs

Further on...

Police: Did you see Shane?

Luke: He wasn't in so I'd say no

Police: So Shane wasn't in at that point? 

Corinne: Well did he not give you the torch?

Luke: Aye that was when I went out looking for Jodi, not at this point

Police: So Shane wasn't in at that point?

Luke: Yeah, Shane wasn't in the house when I left, no.

14th August 03 interview

A discussion about teatime:

Luke: He wasn't there when I first left to originally go out and wait for Jodi at the end of the estate

Police: Oh right, he wasn't there? 

Luke: No, he wasn't home

Police: So what time did you go out to look for Jodi at the end of the estate?

Luke: It would have been about half 5

Police: Half five and Shane wasn't in?

Luke: Not that I can remember, no

Shane is asked during the second day of his testimony, whether he would have seen Luke, if Luke had been there, he replies "Yes".

Advocate depute: You say you don't recollect now whether he was there or not?"

Shane: Uh-huh

Advocate depute: But equally if he was there he would be able to see you?

Shane: Yes

Advocate depute: Yes?

Shane: Unless he was out in the garden

Another statement from Luke was read out during Corinne's testimony where he said he thought Shane was going to be later (home).




But...in another statement, Luke said that Shane arrived home before his mum. 




According to Shane's testimony, he didn't leave the house until around 6.20pm (having previously arrived home from work around ten to 5pm), so why did Luke say that Shane wasn't home at around 5.30pm? There is no mention of Shane leaving the house before 6.20pm. 

Luke said that Shane would be arriving home later, but also that Shane was home before his mum (5.15pm) but also that Shane was not home at 5.30pm.

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.
