I used to believe Luke Mitchell was innocent - now I have questions

-

So far, I've refrained from commenting on the matter of guilt or innocence and focused primarily on trying to highlight misinformation in the Luke Mitchell campaign - which unfortunately, there is a lot of. However, through stripping away the misinformation and lies about the victim's family, I inevitably do now have questions. Here are some of them:  Number 1: Luke knew to turn left immediately after climbing through the V break One of the biggest grievances for campaigners in support of Luke Mitchell's innocence, was that the other three members of the search party (Jodi's gran, sister and sister's then partner, often referred to as the search 'trio') present when Luke found the body, changed their statements. It was said that they all agreed with Luke in their first statements, that his dog had found the body, but later changed this to say that he had walked straight to the wall. We were told that the jury knew nothing of it. This can be found in various ...

How did Luke find Jodi's body?

  This blog is not to argue guilt or innocence, but to provide transcript notes and to look at what was stated at trial.  One of the prosecution's main points when it came to the case against Luke Mitchell for the murder of 14 year old Jodi Jones (2004/5), was that he had known the exact location of her mutilated body which lay behind a wall, out of sight from the main path - and that he could only have known this if he had killed her. Luke's defence was that his trained tracker dog, Mia, alerted him to the position of the body. Jodi's body lay over 17 yards (just over 50 feet) to the west/left of the V break in the wall where Luke climbed over to search, after allegedly being prompted by his dog. He crouched on the wall, then turned left and was able to see her body in the dark in seemingly a matter of seconds. In his own words, he climbed over and turned "Immediately" left. He explained that he did this because as he and Jodi's gran (Alice Walker), sister (J...

Police Scotland have received no request for the release of productions for the purpose of forensic testing (FOI responses)

  In June this year (2024), one of the main Luke Mitchell campaign groups posted a statement letting members know that the request for the remaining untested samples had been made.   Since the end of 2022, focus in the Luke Mitchell campaign has remained heavily on untested samples relating to the murder of Jodi Jones in 2003.  There were regular updates from Sandra Lean explaining that fundraising was needed to pay for the testing of untested samples and re-retesting of samples in an independent lab.  Supporters gave money for this. A freedom of information response has come back from Police Scotland to explain that since his conviction (in 2005) "no request has been received in this case for the release of productions for the purpose of re-testing by a forensic provider from legal representive acting on behalf of Luke Mitchell" The only allegedly untested samples ever mentioned other than fingernails from one of Jodi's hands, was semen. The claim made by Sandr...
