I think you misunderstood me........I was saying to you.. no evidence was ever found Mitchell had any interest in Manson/Black D. That wasn't your quote.
You said..........."So it is hardly surprising that his taste in music came into play. Although I rather think the prosecution were more interested in Manson's interest in portraying a horrific murder which the defilement of Jodi's body called to mind."
Mitchell's taste in music was not Manson. That was made up by the Police and drip fed to the media. It was a fairy tale that was never proven. Same with the Black Dahlia. No offence but what you posted is "fake news" I'm afraid. It's false.
As I mentioned elsewhere, there was someone else that was very much into Manson and had his whole album collection, but it wasn't Luke Mitchell. Did the Police ever search that house for Manson material or seize their devices to check if they had ever viewed the "Black Dahlia" images? We're talking here about Police that didn't have the common sense to cordon off a murder scene for 7 hours. What level of stupidity does that rate out of 10? I would say 0 but it's below that.
I mean honestly who were these Police? We know they were local with no experience of investigating an extreme murder like this. Even so, they seemed to have just lacked the common sense of an average person in the street. What fool would fail to cordon off a murder scene, allow people to tramp all over it for 7 hours and even move the victim before forensics arrived? I think you would struggle to find anyone that stupid anywhere.
Based on the above, why would anybody believe that they were capable of solving this case? That's a major reason why there is so much doubt..........the investigation was a circus. Fairy tales about washing machine transference of DNA??? Washing machines??? Some of the DNA profiles came back as FEMALE. That really had them scratching their heads like Laurel and Hardy. So they had their theory that Mitchell was a Satanist. They then viewed the images of the Black Dahlia Murder which was not similar to the murder of [Name removed] and accused Mitchell of being a Manson fan and of knowing about the Black Dahlia. They never produced one piece of evidence that he even liked Manson or knew about the Black Dahlia.
I think I understood you very well.
Perhaps what you fail to understand is Luke Mitchell.
Killer Luke Mitchell demands Satanic books in jail 18/04/14 JODI Jones’ killer, Luke Mitchell, has demanded the right to be given Satanic textbooks in prison because of his “religious beliefs”.
Mitchell has reportedly asked for six books, including The Devil’s Notebook and Satan Speaks, after claiming access to occult materials was his human right. Among the texts is The Satanic Bible, which exhorts the creation of a lawless society where human sacrifice and murder is not just tolerated but encouraged.
The 25-year-old is understood to have made the request to the chaplain of Shotts prison, where he is serving life for murdering Jodi in June 2003. Mitchell’s Satanic links as a teenager were highlighted during his trial….
In The Satanic Bible, LaVey discusses how someone could be considered “fit and proper” as a human sacrifice. The book concludes: “The answer is brutally simple. Anyone who has unjustly wronged you.”….
Mitchell was just 15 when he stabbed his 14-year-old girlfriend to death in Easthouses, Midlothian.
Jodi’s mutilated body was found in woods near her home. It emerged Mitchell had scratched 666 into his arm with a compass and drew Satanic symbols and quotes on his schoolbooks….

“Mitchell’s supporters have always downplayed his links to Satanism but it’s clear he has a serious interest in the subject….Elizabeth Rudman, a criminologist with over 20 years’ experience, said: “This is extreme material and it is very interesting that he has asked for these items halfway through his sentence. I am taken aback that he is asking for these Satanic materials at this point. “My problem is that the rituals involved in these materials are really anti-social and they elicit deeds that are against the law, such as human sacrifice.
“This person was convicted for murder. My first question would be: what is he going to plan now?
“It is possible Mitchell has given up completely. On the other hand, it can also be an indication of guilt.
“He has been in prison for so long, his hope of getting an appeal has been completely quashed, so now he may be showing his true convictions.”….
