Is Luke Mitchell guilty - your views

[jixy]

When you've read it maybe you can tell us if all of Luke Mitchell's psychological assessments and any and all supporting documentation showing a normal 14 year old boy have been included.

Would also be interesting to see what any school reports showed.

If Luke Mitchell is actually factually innocent what would he have to lose by putting these into the public domain?

its on its way. Not sure about the info you are wanting to know though

Sam Hallam's case is a prime example - he has photographic evidence proving he was elsewhere at the time of the murder and yet the ministry of justice said the new evidence did not show "beyond reasonable doubt that Mr Hallam did not commit the offence". Yet it was this "new evidence" which overturned his murder conviction.

I agree fully with that. No way should Sam ever have been convicted but shockingly he was

By Luke Mitchell's own admission, he was a drug addict. How many joints did he say he smoked each day/week?

Cathy Molly from MOJO reminded me in 2013 that drug addicts are not to be trusted!

What makes Luke Mitchell different?

For what reason did he self medicate and why didn't his mother seek help for him from a medical professional?

Didn't Shane Mitchell also smoke dope?

Some people will rob and lie to get money for drugs making them not trust worthy. Even that doesnt apply to all

From personal experience, I have to say a family member of mine tried weed at around the same age. Didnt commit any crime, didnt lie steal or cheat to get it

It made him hungry and in need of cake! thats all

Teenagers are a strange species at times but thankfully they usually grow out of it

I agree. Sam's case is also proof that even if you have evidence to prove innocence the court itself is still reluctant to say whether a person is "factually innocent"

The only way cannabis could make you act violently is if you had a psychotic episode through smoking it - I do not believe this has been alleged in Luke's case. Nevertheless, there is a large amount of children who smoke cannabis on a daily basis, it does not mean they have the propensity to kill.

That goes without saying but how do you propose Luke Mitchell and his supporters prove beyond any doubt his actual factual guilt or innocence, given all what's been publicly presented over the years?

Question:

How is actual factual innocence gauged?

I referred to drug addicts and whether they can be trusted or not

We aren't discussing your family member or some people.

Luke Mitchell is serving a life sentence for murder. He was a drug addict at the age of 14 years.

Do,you have a logical argument or not?

I agree. Sam was clearly actually factually innocent!

I was replying to your comment about drug addicts not being trustworthy... i was pointing out that isnt always the case so yes it was relevant

Are you claiming drug addicts can be trusted?

I referred to drug addicts and whether they can be trusted or not

you asked the question after telling us you had been told they cant be trusted?

Are you claiming drug addicts can be trusted?

no I am claiming you asked the question and I replied

How did Luke Mitchell fund his drug habit?

Who supplied him copious amounts of weed?

Why did his mother allow him to do what he did? And do you consider this responsible parenting? When he was arrested the police found drug paraphernalia in his room. According to Corrine Mitchell she would shut the door and leave him to it; words to that effect.

I do not think it is fair to label someone who smoked cannabis a "drug addict" - it's not like he was addicted to heroin. Cannabis has been legalised in some major countries and has just been legalised on prescription in this country. It is not a hard drug and a lot of people use it, does this mean everyone who smokes it are not trustworthy?
