good to see you back sandra.

Thanks nugnug, nice to be back.

Hello John,

I'll take your comments in turn, so that I don't miss anything.

As you wish. There are reasons why I have not commented on my departure from the case, reasons I am not prepared to disclose at the moment, so you are entitled to believe whatever you want about this.

Ah, unfortunately, you are misinformed - my connections to the case were always wider than simply through the Mitchell family.

Nothing changed my mind about Luke. My mind has not changed about Luke. The penny dropped many years ago - this case was a farce from the outset. Nothing has changed my mind about that either.

I have not been associated with WAP since April 2013- two and a half years ago.

WAP was awarded charity status on 17th December 2010. The first annual accounts would not have been returnable until April 2013 ( first full tax year April 2011 - 2012, not reportable until April 2013.) I was never responsible for accounts returns.

I hope this answers your questions. I'm not here in my previous capacity as a spokesperson for Luke's case - I think I made that clear in my earlier posts - I'm just another Joe Ordinary, sharing my thoughts and opinions in forum discusssions.

Luke is one lucky devil, to have you fighting his corner.  Although, I have to admit, I'm far from convinced of his innocence.

Does anyone have any links to the Frontline Scotland documentary about this case? I cant find it anywhere

I think you made a very bad decision to take up this case Sandra, just as bad as your decision to support self confessed killers Adrian Prout and Simon Hall.  I'm quite sure you must have regrets about these cases so why keep up this pretence about Luke Mitchell?  Surely by now you must realise that Mitchell did it for all the reasons previously gone into? There isn't a shred of evidence which supports his innocence.

As far as the WAP organisation is concerned, as co founder/administrator, do you not think you had and indeed have a responsibilty to have accounted for the funds obtained whilst you were in a position of authority and ensured that they were properly recorded in terms of the Scottish Charity Regulator rules?

It was on Luke's website under documentaries, the devils own.

You also supported Simon Hall's innocence for a long time. Which means you also made 'a bad decision' as you refer to it.

And it is my belief that Middleton is the person you should be asking about accounts relating to WAP. It is Middleton who appears allusive and not willing to admit to his wrong doings and deceitfulness.

Sandra also believes Petrina Stocker is innocent     If legal system used Sandra's standards for reasonable doubt the prisons would be empty

[David1819]

I will only doubt Lukes guilt if a viable alternative suspect is brought to light and so far there is no one

who knows lithium,could be anywhere. Don't know if the perpetrator was from the area, was visiting or what. I just don't think it was luke mitchell.

[marty]

Definitely possible of course but not a fact. Maybe went to meet the cousins and they weren't there. Then someone by chance got the opportunity. I don't think the killer was from the area, don't know why .

Your not making a very compelling argument. If Luke didn't do then I would bet it would be someone from the same school or local. Ex boyfriend of Jodi? or maybe a girl that liked Luke and was Jelous of Jodi?

the lassie got a severe hiding. Her throat was slashed twelve to twenty times, stripped naked apart from her socks folded over her toes. eyelids deliberately slit, mutilation to the body. this was done by afourteen year old because of jealousy (ex boyfriend ect) really? Then ,at fourteen you have to imagine its their first time at a crime of this nature. Cant see it myself. But thats what discussion is all about, different opinions.

[nugnug]

i dont think its very good idea to go around throwing names about i have person i think did it but im not going to name them becouse isnt knowing.

who did well the person whos dna was found on the body is a good suspect but we dont at presnt know who that dna belongs to other than it doesnt belong to luke mitthel.

if you resarch the case you will see that there have been sevral alternatives suspects offered some more convincing than others.

I can't join the discussion properly at the moment as I'm having to post via my phone which is  rubbish - just wanted to say, for me, the appallingly bad so-called investigation is what raises so many of  the doubts in this case. What credible police force bleaches the scene before the sniffer dogs get there, offers an innocent explanation to a person whose DNA puts them in a very compromising position, falls to follow up on distinct lack of alibi for two people whose lack of alibi would have made them definite persons of interest in any normal murder investigation. And that's a tiny fraction of the anomalies in the case. Hope to have normal internet by tomorrow
