Luke Mitchell - Interview with Sky's James Matthews

[faithlilly]

My mistake

Leonard Kelly would not have changed his statements because he was under duress

Sandra Lean would have repeatedly brought this up if it had been the case

Then what other reason do you think lead him to alter his first statement where he didn’t mention a strangling noise?

Cognitive dissonance maybe

Cognitive dissonance maybe

In what way?

[Nicholas]

In what way?

In the, he initially said one thing then after some more thought on it changed his mind, way

He was ‘psychologically uncomfortable’ with what he initially told police therefore was motivated to change his statement to bring about equilibrium

He was ‘psychologically uncomfortable’ with what he initially told police therefore was motivated to change his statement to bring about equilibrium

Similarly to how and why the search trio changed their witness statements

Their cognitive distortions (Based on killer Luke Mitchell’s behaviour and the fear of finding [Name removed]) initially convinced them what they said in their first statements were true

They were motivated by their cognitive dissonance to change their witness statements - nothing whatsoever to do with any kind of conspiracy or coercion

Faithlilly said that LK changed his statement under duress. What’s your opinion on this? Also, what about a bike that looked like Luke’s being seen parked at Newbattle high school on the day of the murder ... do you think Luke cycled to meet Jodi between 1634-1654? Do you have a link or a webpage where I can view the background or origins of the bike sighting story?

Faithlilly says a lot of things. SM changed his story three times yet faithlilly doesn't ever mention that unless it's in defence of him changing his story. One rule for one and another rule for everyone else it seems?

Google really is helpful, isn’t it?

If LK told the truth when he made his first statement, as you’d expect him to, why would he be ‘ psychologically uncomfortable’ with that? Are you saying that he was dishonest in some way?

You’re overreaching yourself again, psychologically speaking.

Do you experience a full range of emotions Faithlilly?

It is obvious you are using psychiatric terms you do not understand.

Please stop.

Yes when I searched ‘cognitive dissonance’ it said
