Hi, Parky. I'll come back to the DNA at a later date. In the meantime, have your views on LM wearing the shiny green bomber jacket between 1755-1820 changed any? Are you still of the opinion that he went home after the F & W sighting (at approx 1740) and was back on NB rd again for just before 1800 wearing a different jacket? I ask this because there is the anomaly of AH's sighting vs MO & DH's sighting. From memory, they all saw him at roughly the same time in the same area (at just before 1800, standing at the path to a driveway on NB rd). AH, along with his pals GE & DH, id'd LM in court as the boy who they saw on the road that day, was certain it wasn't a bomber jacket and that it was an army shirt -- sold in Flip -- that went down to his thighs, but MO & DH said it was a green bomber jacket and it definitely wasn't LM they saw. What's your opinion on these discrepancies?
Unfortunately we know what the response will be. I am not in this "he did it" brigade nor am I 100% sure he didn't. I prefer to look at what's known as fact and what's clearly bullsh*t.
The facts: 1. There is nothing to forensically link LM to the murder anywhere.
2. There is no reliable witness sighting of LM near the murder location.
3. There was no dock identification of LM in Court.
4. The timings of this murder happening and all evidence being completely eradicated in 40 minutes are nonsensical.
5. F and D lied about not remembering what they were doing at or near the V.
The Bullsh*t:F and W witness statements were a joke. One admitted only seeing a youth in her car's rear view mirror and the other said she'd seen a photo of LM in the Press on a date no photos of him had yet appeared in the Press.
Ju J stated that "he who cannot be named" was in his room on the afternoon of the murder and never left the house until the following day. This is false - he was seen by a witness following Jodi on the main road at 445pm. There is no PROOF of where he was from around 3pm on the day of the murder until the following day. Police who came to the house at 1.00am reported only Ju J and AO in the house, they didn't have the common sense to check all rooms to see if anyone else was in the house. So "he who cannot be named" was in bed whilst other people went out searching for his missing sister?? Seriously?
AB was not an independent witness. Her partner's brother was a frequent visitor to the Jones' house - AB knew who they were.
AW couldn't explain why she went straight to the path, then walked up it ignoring the woods before the wall starts on the same side as the V.
Janine Jones whose evidence mainly consisted of "I don't know" and "I don't remember" claimed not to have known the RD path existed. So her mother never warned her not to go up there in the 2 or 3 years she lived 300 yards away from it, when at that time she would have been about age 14-16 and never heard her 10-12 year old sister being told not to go up there either? Seriously??
LK cycling by, reports a noise like branches rustling then when he comes to Court this had morphed into "strangling noises"? Seriously?
As far as I can see from the Court transcripts, the evidence given by all of the above is just a load of old bullsh*t.
