For the majority. there was clear and precise evidence that merited the conviction of Luke.
Most of this evidence came directly from himself - of the account he gave.
Only confirmed by others who gave witness to numerous things.
Marty:
Completely pointless arguement as hes never looked at the paintings or the police would have found some sort of evidence.
What is disturbing is the finding of this is his possessions after this horrific murder.
What is disturbing is the need to purchase more knives after this horrific murder.
What is disturbing is the (cough) coincidence of this new jacket being a parka with a German badge on it.
What is disturbing is the inscriptions of the writings on the knife pouch.
What is disturbing is the complete lack of empathy at any point.
All of which rather dispute, highly, any claims of some stress disorder.
If something had caused such a traumatic impact -
One would be avoiding knives.
One would be avoiding graphic material.
One would not be partying it up.- topping that heavy medication up with booze.
One would be avoiding clothing - clearly being sought in relation to this murder. 50 army shirts or 50 parkas with German badges
makes no difference - it was clearly green khaki clothing with a German army badge that was being looked for.
So these are highly relevant items to this crime - replacements?
As:
From almost immediately after this murder more knives needed to purchased.
One such knife identical to the missing one, bar the colour of handle.
A new jacket was required, not any old type of jacket - but a parka with a German badge.
And of course there is the Manson DVD with the Black Dahlia.
These to the majority, have clear reason behind the purchase.
Of perhaps owning previously, and disposed off on the day of this murder.
You may say, show me the proof of him viewing/seeing it beforehand, which is almost akin to saying - show me him murdering this girl.
It can not be shown to be false, neither can that of him being the killer, be shown to be false.
You can't change Shane's statements - again to show him at home. This does not exist in his head, as it did not happen.
We can be shown clearly that he was not at home, from the evidence Luke himself gave.
That of listening to some fav tunes whilst watching the pies burn.
The fine details of what happened in that household between 5.15pm and 5.30pm which totally contradict each other.
How was It even possible, for Shane to proceed downstairs to collect a dinner, that by Luke and Corinne's account,
still was not ready. The beans, the prawns, the dishing up.
That he collected this dinner at 5.15pm - Corinne was just arriving home.
We lately have the introduction of PTSD for Shane also, that wiped his memory within 36-48hrs.
That caused 3 different accounts to be given in 5 days - and still they were not correct.
Of Corinne wanting to enjoy the sunshine - it was wet and dull.
So, from that you have to build on why? where was Luke, as the account they gave, clearly shows he was not at home.
These items, to many, were simply replacements.
Far too many coincidences in this case - for them all, to be purely flukes, or bad fortune.
Far too much distraction away from the reality.
Of how disturbed this 14yr olds mind was, even if by some miracle he was to be innocent.
To want/need to purchase, not just any knife but a certain type - whilst supposedly traumatised.
To want/need to purchase a jacket. not just any jacket but a certain type.
Of the mock surprise of her son, buying not only a jacket but that of type. (he owned plenty of jackets)
To want/need to purchase a DVD - not just any DVD, but one with graphic images akin to those inflicted on this girl.
Its alright, they weren't an exact match - it matters not how horrific both were, of this girl in a wood - brutally murdered.
Like the Bryson sighting - of those baggy dark clothes, simply can't have been Jodi - she may have been wearing a dark navy/ black baggy hoodie, with, slightly lighter, dark blue cord type jeans,
she missed the logo - tsk tsk Mrs Bryson.
Really, its one of those things, that by simply brushing aside it becomes, somewhat ludicrous.
Again, one may question the level of, not just parental control but advise.
To not only allow your child to have knives after this, but to purchase them for him.
