SL did not have access to the defence case papers prior to "No Smoke" going to press. It would certainly appear that ones "Careful examination" comes from media reports and anything fed by LM. This article has been confirmed to be this case in "No Smoke" Which at first SL had denied, then made claim that one had simply forgotten most of what had been written?! As one had not 'referenced it for a while'
And Scott Forbes 🙄
‘No Smoke’ ⬇️
‘Just prior to this book going to press, further witness statements, pointing to another, far more credible suspect were passed to the defence. The police claimed that these statements had not been followed up because the case was "closed."
‘Further witness statements’ 🙄
‘Far more credible suspect’ 🙄
‘Luke Mitchell was a child of previous good character, with no psychological conditions..’ 🙄
‘Finally, as with Derek Christian and Simon Hall, we are asked to believe that Luke Mitchell suddenly and inexplicably "flipped," behaving in a manner which is completely uncharacteristic, then almost instantly returns to normal.’ 🙄
