I am afraid it is a long story Cliff but believe me it is justified in the case of the individual concerned.  I think the word Troll defines it quite nicely.

Today marks the 7th anniversary in prison for Luke Mitchell for the brutal slaying of his then 14 year-old girlfriend.  The savage knife attack was one of the worst they had seen according to police.

The case is currently before the SCCRC in Glasgow and is due for determination quite soon.  There is every possibility that Mitchell could be freed on a technicality following the recent Cadder ruling by the UK Supreme Court.


Victim Jodi Jones


theres also the anderson rulling of defective defence.
and of course the dna evedence linking others to the crime.

i think he will get off on more than just a technicality.

It is nigh impossible to argue defective defence in Scottish courts so that one is a non starter.

At the end of the day, technicality or no technicality the panel of judges will look at the real possibility of Mitchell being innocent or not. If they believe him to be guilty he will not get of...simples.

From what I have seen the evidence against him is overwhelming so I cannot see how he will ever succeed in having his conviction overturned.

The inconsistencies in his families evidence says it all really.

well the presence of other peoples sperm and blood on the body.

and other bits of DNA.

but none of his DNA.

 no credible eye witnesses identifying him

plus impossibly short time frame he had to commit the crime would tend to suggest innocence.

his got more going in his defence than most people have.

The presence of other DNA profiles on the body doesn't mean that he is not the killer.  The strange thing though is that he was with her earlier that day and still there was none of his DNA on her or her clothing and vice-versa.  It's as if he changed his clothes and washed which again would fit with the prosecution case against him.

He disappeared after school yet there are normally dozens of kids milling around the roads and parks.

His brother testified that he didn't see him at home yet Luke Mitchell claims to have been there and made dinner.  So which one is lying or which one is covering up for the other?

well people can be in the same house and not know of each other presnce.

how can the absence of dna make somebody guilty.

to have comited the crime he would of had to have cleaned all his dna from jodis body

and all her dna from himself nothing was found his house or his mums car.

how could he clean his dna off the body but leave other peoples on there.

it dosent mater if nobody saw going home from becouse jodi was still alive then.

she dident  leave her house untill 450 or 500pm.

nobody saw jodi return home from scholl ethere body nobodys disputing she got there.

Oh dear!!!  I won't say, "I told you so!"

Luke Mitchell loses 5th appeal against his conviction yesterday.


In his fifth appeal attempt, Mitchell tried to use the UK Supreme Court's "Cadder Ruling", which took away Scots cops' right to quiz suspects without a lawyer.

Mitchell said he should be allowed to appeal under Cadder because he was not allowed a lawyer during a six-hour "interrogation".

But Scotland's senior judge, Lord Hamilton, said the Cadder Ruling applied to "live" appeals, and Mitchell had lost his in 2008.

Mitchell, his hair in long, straggly braids, showed no emotion in the dock.



His mum Corinne sat on one side of the public gallery, with Jodi's mother Judith and other relatives on the other.

he will be cleared eventaully its just a matter of time.

the birghmham 6 lost a fair few appeals and many other people i could mention.

Don't you dare compare Mitchell with the Birmingham 6, they were innocent.

The evidence against Mitchell for me is overwhelming and until such times as new evidence can be provided I don't see that changing.

The reluctance by his family to explore all and every avenue is very telling. What are they hiding still??

thev have have explianed themselves time agian its not there fault if people have chosen to ignore what they have said.

im not sure what overwhelming evedence your talking about.

and i think the comprasion with the brigmingham 6 is perfectly reasonable.

The Mitchell family have failed to explain the inconsistencies in their own evidence.

Shane Mitchell stated to the court that he did not see his brother in the house that afternoon from 4pm until 5.15pm yet his brother Luke claims that he made the dinner for them all.  Not hard to see who is lying is it?

Why don't you face it Sandra, you all thought that he would get out on the 'Cadder' ruling but you were sorely mistaken.

as i said people can be in the same house and not know of each others prsence

id hardly call that overwhelming evednce of guilt

the evedence of the victems family was pretty inconsistant but that dosent mean they were lying
