Luke Mitchell - Witness Scott Forbes

[Nicholas]

It's all f******g rubbish. Nothing can be proven/backed up, nothing is in the public domain unless SL allows it to be. This excuse of law is an excuse.  MK is dead. Let us see his statement please. If not, why not?

Let’s also see what Scott Forbes said and killer Luke Mitchell and his mother Corinne

And why have they all waited 18 years to show us their words as told to the police at the time

or in Scott Forbes case since 2006🙄

[rulesapply]

Let's see.

[Nicholas]

SF says he was a lawyer but his licence or whatever it's called, has lapsed and that's why he's not registered at the moment.

Where is the evidence for Scott Forbes ever being a lawyer - other than an alleged trainee ?

Russell Findlay wrote an article in 2013 - published in the Daily Record - where it stated,

‘Earlier this month, his appeal against the length of his sentence was rejected and three years ago his appeal against conviction was thrown out.
He has now hired lawyer Graham Mann, who is probing the reconstruction with the dogs and has spoken to Kelly

it goes on,

‘Mann said: "I have been instructed in respect of all ongoing appeal procedures but I am not able to comment at this stage."
APPEAL 1
Mitchell failed to overturn his murder conviction three years ago.
His appeal was heard by Scotland's top judge - the lord Justice General Lord hamilton - and lords Osborne and Kingarth.
Lord Hamilton said there was "sufficient evidence in law" for a guilty verdict but he condemned the way the police interviewed 15-year-old Mitchell.
He added: "At times, the nature of the questioning was such that the questioner did not seem to be seriously interested in a response but rather endeavouring to break him down into giving some hoped-for confession by hostile interrogation."
APPEAL 2
The killer failed to have his minimum 20-year jail term reduced earlier this month.
His lawyers challenged the length of his sentence on the grounds that he was a child at the time of the crime.
But the appeal court in Edinburgh ruled that the 20-year sentence should stand. Outside the court, Mitchell's mother Corinne said: "The fight goes on."
Bankrupt shame of Mitchell's lawyer
Mitchell's lawyer Gillian Law's highflying career has stalled under a mountain of debt. she was made a partner in Edinburgh firm Beaumont & Co after impressing boss Nigel Beaumont.
But Law has since been declared bankrupt over undisclosed debts owed to the taxman. she was sequestrated at the city's sheriff court - the same place where she defends criminal clients.
As a bankrupt, law's practising certificate was automatically suspended by the law society of scotland. After lodging an appeal, she has been allowed to return to work but with restrictions. she can no longer be a partner in the firm and is only allowed to work as an assistant. She is also banned from handling clients' cash.
Despite her debt woes, Law still drives a VW Beetle convertible with private registration. she lives with advocate Michael Anderson in a £400,000 townhouse beside Duddingston Golf club in the capital.
The Law Society said: "She has had her practising certificate restricted and can only work as an assistant."

Ok so let's assume SF was genuinely concerned that MK could have been poor Jodi's killer. MK, according to SF, showed up at Scott's flat in Leith the next day. The following day, SF says he took MK to a police station to declare his whereabouts and what he was doing two nights beforehand. Presumably SF didn't bother going into the station with MK despite his concerns. SF didn't approach CM before her son was imprisoned for life. SF tried and tried to be heard before 2006. He didn't approach CM before 2006 though. What were the other witnesses to Mk's behaviour and injuries doing all of that time? There's a dead, mutilated child but no one did anything that worked until 2006? And despite their grievous concerns about MK, who "could" have killed again, nothing. Nothing concrete until 2006.

Hi Nicholas. You were in my emails so I'll reply to you. Yup. Clicked on the link and just thought,    It's not his true claim that's questionable as someone on Twitter has rightly said.

Mark K ostracised from family for beating his old disabled granny. Aged 15, at 13 he was jagging smack, addict by 14 bullying his mum daily, robbing her. Tortured animals in the most horrific fashion, carried big blade daily, was into the occult. In area of the murder and cops didn't even interview him...what does that tell you

This needs bumped.

We are still waiting for evidence to back up these claims that has been put in the public domain, from this poster.

Rules alleged they were a friend of Kane. His silence on these matters is puzzling.

Be prepared to be continually puzzled.

I haven't been silent.  I've said about MK.

How did SF know MK in the first place?  Does anyone know?

They were students at Newbattle Abbey College together.

Actually,  to go further than that, Kane and I have/had a mutual friend who was present when SF "visited" Kane on an occasion and threatened Kane whilst citing, verbally,  an acquaintance of SF's.
