im not sure ethere way really.

i knows theres a lot of things happening that cant discussed publicly at the moment.

[sandra L]

There's a lot going on behind the scenes, as nugnug says, and a great deal of it we can't discuss. Hopefully, there will be some news soon, or at least some subjects we can open up for discussion. Thanks to everyone who is still showing interest in Luke's predicament

[nugnug]

I just read the website links and actually I did recognise some bits of the case - but I was not aware of everything behind it. It seems against everything I learnt when studying law. That a person should only be convicted of murder if proven. This case was never proven . Again character assassination seemed to be used and with holding evidence and sloppy handling of the crime scene - and this was 2003! It is really sad that things do not seem to have changed from the times of JBs case. I really hope that todays forensics can help in this case and the right culprit  is found. It is also sad that these reviews take so long.

Jansus: What University did you attend to obtain your Law degree ?

The jury are directed to return a verdict on one thing only "beyond reasonable doubt"

I do hope that you are not representing clients

Hello Maggie May did you study law as well.

[MaggieMay]

I do believe that Luke Mitchell is entirely not guilty having studied then considered the actual case before I opt to make my opinions public. This is why I have sent several  letters to Alex Salmond and his cohorts in an attempt to persuade them to do their bloody job and represent the people who elected them.

The Scottish equivalent of "The Sun" routinely attack Luke Mitchell a teenage boy, which in itself are grounds for a valid complaint to the regulatory authority governing the media. The Scottish press routinely turn on their own people, they are people with no morals and no conscience. 

The only people who will ever make a realistic difference are the people of this country with a genuine passion dictated by their inner conscience for those who are persecuted by the state who claims to represent them in their name.

ok - slap on the wrist accepted. it was a long time ago and only at A level 

It was just what we were taught by our barrister teacher. Perhaps she was more moral than most.

I always admit my mistake so yes good job I am not representing others .

I have been involved in a bank charges case though that got to the high court. So not all stupid
