Is Luke Mitchell guilty - your views

[Nicholas]

In response to Lithium

“Simon Hall admitted his guilt and subsequently took his own life over it, and Sandra still refuses to admit she was wrong.”

Sandra Lean states here: http://jeremybamberforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,551.msg452332.html#msg452332
“Wrong again! The details of the confession were never made public. It was never revealed whether Simon Hall had legal representation when making the confession. It was never revealed whether he had been assessed by a psychiatrist or psychologist or what his mental state was in the lead up to the confession - was he in sound mind, fully aware of what he was saying/doing? I can see no reason why those details were not publicly known -- they should have been, in order to confirm that the confession actually fitted the details of the crime and that he was not, for example, suffering some sort of mental breakdown and just saying anything.

Once again, I'm searching for the truth. If the confession contains details that all fit with the crime and it can be shown that he was in sound mind and was fully aware of what he was saying and doing, then it would be reasonable to accept that he did, in fact, commit the murder and managed to conceal that fact for all those years, aided by a bungled police investigation which brought a case lacking the necessary elements of proof (even Keir Starmer admitted that, without the fibre evidence, "the case disappears.")

Was ‘following’ 3 and had 1 ‘follower’

The 1 ‘follower’ was Michelle Nicolson a convicted murderer - found guilty of killing her father Keith Nicolson

‘The facts of the case were as follows. The deceased Keith Nicholson was the father of the applicant. He was addicted to drugs and alcohol. His son (the applicant’s brother) under the influence of his father had himself abused and become addicted to drugs. The trial judge was of the view that the motive for the murder was a desire by the applicant to remove the deceased as a bad influence on his son. The applicant initiated the idea of killing her father. She recruited her co-defendant Smethurst who co-operated in the planning of the offence and in the killing itself. At the time of these events he was infatuated with her.

4. In accordance with the plan made by the two defendants, they drove the victim to the North Yorkshire moors, knocked him unconscious with a pickaxe handle, and set him alight with petrol. The applicant’s defence was that, despite her admitted presence at the time of the offence, she took no part in it, and/or was suffering from acute stress disorder. The partial defences of diminished responsibility and provocation were relied upon. The jury rejected these defences.

Sandra Lean was free and able to contact Simon Hall directly at any time after she learned she’d been conned! .

She’s LYING btw! She gave me the impression she had accepted the confession at the time.
Around the same time she claimed she’d wasted 10 years of her life.
She also expressed her concerns re the relationship between Corrine and Luke Mitchell (mother & son)
And around the same time she asked if she could post on WAP Simon Hall was dead!

Moving on,

WHY did Luke and Corrine Mitchell LIE to the police over his whereabouts that evening?

This is interesting

According to convicted but exonerated murderer Michael O’Brien (one of the so called Cardiff Newsagent 3)

On the 27th February 2014 he publicly stated,

‘Sandra Lean has done so much for victims of miscarriages of justice and I am sickened that anyone could even suggest she was responsible for Simon Hall’s death so whoever is responsible for these malicious lies had better stop. Hope your health gets better soon Sandra thinking of you. XX’

Who allegedly told Michael O’Brien between the 23rd and the 27th February 2014 Sandra Lean ‘was responsible for Simon Hall’s death’ ?

[Nicholas]

And interestingly - on the 4th December 2020 Sandra Lean stated,

‘As a clinical hypnotherapist, I know a bit about the power of suggestion. Confusion is a really powerful technique - while the conscious mind is trying to work out the confusing information, the ‘suggestion” is quietly being absorbed...’

[Nicholas]

Around 7 months ago Sandra Lean ‘interviewed’ Jane Metcalfe https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OrbpA1zUquY

Jane Metcalfe is without doubt being manipulated and exploited by many

Robin Garbutt’s innocence campaign is grounded in dishonesty - like Luke Mitchell’s - and has the hallmarks of innocence fraud

It appears Robin Garbutt - although convicted of murder - may have benefitted financially from his crimes

It’s not known if the CCRC are reviewing any ‘forfeiture ruling’ in this case but a decision regarding their review is due soon

‘Stephen Manning was sentenced to two months in jail last week. However, he was not in Castlebar District Court to hear the judge’s ruling on a charge of breaching the peace in the town’s courthouse last year. Instead, he was in Dublin, trying to hand in a petition to the Supreme Court.
Manning continues to deny the Castlebar charge and says he was never told he was due in court. He is now on bail pending an appeal. “It’s scary, it’s very scary,” he says.
Manning, a retired teacher, has been in many courts. In the beginning, he was there with other members of his group, Integrity Ireland, to protest against home repossessions in Mayo.
More recently, however, he has begun to use an obscure legal provision dating from Victorian times which allows private citizens to criminally prosecute those they believe have broken the law.
Under the 1851 Petty Sessions Act a person can ask a judge to issue a summons for a suspected lawbreaker. A garda or lawyer is not required. The standard of evidence necessary for issuing a summons is quite low.

Such a multiplication of proceedings takes the concept of “serial litigation” to a new level. I understand that these outcomes must be frustrating for him but on the other hand the conventional pathways to an effective remedy in relation to summary trials are well-established. More fundamentally, an effective remedy does not equate to a right to win one’s case.
