Unlike Luke, this guy had 2 alibis, one being Jodi's older sister. No motive. "I suppose you've been to my house first?" is suspicious but Corrine's first words when finding out were "Has Luke been arrested yet?"
Tut tut, Lithium. For 12 days, according to his own and Janine's statements, he had no alibi. Nada! In those statements, he left Janine's Gran's either late morning or around lunchtime and that's the last we hear of him until around 7pm when he's back in the gran's house watching "Natural Born Killers" with Janine. The alibi of two people didn't appear until 12 days in. Corinne's first words were "Jodi's dead?" (unless the cops are lying about that). The claim that she asked "Has he been arrested?" (the word "yet" was never suggested to have been used) was never corroborated. That said, if your son was in the back of a police car that you weren't being allowed into, having just heard that his girlfriend was dead, "Has he been arrested?" would seem like an obvious question - why else would they have him isolated in the back of a police car?
You're referring to Jodi's brother. Please provide a source for the claim his medication wasn't working? Again, had an alibi. Jodi's mum. Wasn't identified by anyone outside his house and rarely left his bedroom. No criminal background as stated. No motive.
I quite deliberately did not name any of the people I'm talking about here. if you want to think I'm talking about Jodi's brother, that's entirely up to you. Information about the person whose medication was not working because of continued use of recreational drugs is in the case papers. But if we're talking specifically about Jodi's brother, why was his mum's alibi (which does not stand up because of the statements of others) acceptable when Luke's mum's wasn't? I'm sorry, you're quite wrong about him being identified outside the house - he was, and I have the documents to prove it. Rarely left his room? He was at his Gran's house on the Saturday night, went out somewhere until around midnight, returned to his gran's and stayed there overnight, returned to his mum's on the Sunday, walked back up to his Gran's on the Sunday evening (on his own) and walked back to his mum's on the Monday. I didn't say Jodi's brother had a "criminal background" anywhere - it's really not cool to misquote people to shore up your own arguments.
Ok sure. I think they were considered suspects and police made an appeal to find them. Like every other male close to the victim except Luke, they were able to rule them out.
The boys on the moped were ruled out before the DNA results came back and before it was discovered they'd lied about the time on the path. Exactly what was it that "enabled" the police to rule them out in these circumstances?
Jodi wasn't raped. Unless you think someone raped Jodi using a condom, didn't leave any DNA on the body or the crime scene, or have Jodi's DNA on the condom, but was then foolish enough to leave it nearby with his semen in it, I think you can stop trying to force the idea that a condom near the crime scene was at all linked to the non-sexual murder of a young girl.
You have conflated "non sexual" with "not sexually motivated." Did you know the police considered the possibility that Jodi had been sexually assaulted (potentially an attempted rape with a condom) but couldn't complete that line of enquiry because the swabbings from the outside of the condom were so badly done, no DNA profiles could be reliably obtained from them? No? They spent quite a bit of time on that theory, but once again, shoddy crime scene practices lost vital evidence. Ever considered that the person who dropped the condom didn't mean to drop it and, by the time he discovered he had, it was too late to go retrieve it?
Really trying to blame the Da Vinci rapist again Sandra? Embarrassing. This was about 10 miles away from where Jodi was murdered. Jodi was't grabbed and pulled down anywhere, she voluntarily climbed over a wall with someone she trusted. Oh and Jodi wasn't raped. There were absolutely no witness sightings of any bald man in his mid 20s that day. More than one of a teenager with shoulder length dirty blonde hair. There have been no similar attacks in the area since Luke was convicted. Robert Greens raping someone years later does not cast "reasonable doubt" on Luke Mitchell's murder conviction in any way. Wtf?!
It would be really easy to just give up here! I don't know how many times I have to say it, I'm not "trying to blame" anyone! Roan's Dyke Path to Rosslyn Glen is 5.5 miles - about 10 minutes' drive at 30mph. Jodi was most definitely grabbed and pulled down, by the hair. We don't know if she climbed over the wall or went into the woodland strip from another, easily accessible point (the big break at the top of the path or the field at the other side of the woodland strip). There were other people she would have trusted to go over the wall with on the path at the time she would have been walking down it. There are no witness sightings on record of a bald man in his 20s that day because nobody was asking for them. How many sightings of "a teenager with dirty blond, shoulder length hair" do you think there might be in an area with 2 High Schools and about 1500 pupils between them? (BTW, he didn't have shoulder length hair at the time.) Similarities between the two attacks: young female on country path in woodland, attacker armed with knife, victim dragged by the hair, beaten and partially strangled.
