The murder of 14 year-old schoolgirl Jodi Jones near Edinburgh on 30 June 2003

[welty]

judicial review of the decision ors there's the echr.

or new submission could made possbly if more evedence was found.

theres now 2 new dna profiles and they dont belong to luke sonner or later they will be matched to somebody.

nug, are you saying there are 2 new full dna profiles, they would need to be full to be matched right?

[tyler]

I read that the new DNA discovered from the top of Jodi's jeans were most likely from semen. Would they have looked for a match or partial match with other DNA samples discovered on Jodi that were taken during the investigation? Or did they just rule them out as belonging to Luke?

[nugnug]

nug, are you saying there are 2 new full dna profiles, they would need to be full to be matched right?

yes they right they would to be fully matched.

The SCCRC is not in a position to apportion blame on anyone else, the samples didn't match Luke mitchell and therefore they were someone elses. Luke wasn't convicted on DNA evidence and as any investigation into the new samples would mean getting the case re opened then I doubt we will hear anything else happening.

[nugnug]

it was evedence the jury should of heard and dident so it should be grounds for appeal.

if the jury had heard that the evdence the verdict may have been very different.

[welty]

nug, are they full profiles or not?

the samples didnt match luke, is it possible the samples are mixed, a low % of dna, it could be anyones, it could be lukes, just cant tell because there isnt enough there?

if anyone has the full details on the 2 new dna, please post

[nugnug]

where did the paper get there information from, lean etc? its a shame we cant get every detail from sccrc, from the horses mouth instead of fed bits the defence only want readers to know.

[nugnug]

they could of got it from the sccrc for all i know.

im hoping that the full report will be published at sometime if that's possible.

[Michaela]

the report can only be shown by people who were given it by the ccrc.  So Dr Lean would need to give permission for this.  would be interesting to read it.

[nugnug]

bob smyth would of been given a copy im sure.

[Michaela]

who is he?

[tyler]

Nugs,is it possible to try to discover whose dna it is in the newly found samples? Even if Luke's team foot the bill for any tests perhaps?

[Michaela]

Tyler I was thinking about that too. but I think that they would only be able to id the samples if the person was on the database. But there again they would have surely tested other people?

[tyler]

Yes,would obviously have to be on the database,but I would be interested to know if they matched other samples found on Jodi's body or if they matched any of the other people that were interviewed in the original investigation.
