Again you can write reams and reams of nonsense but it doesn’t change the fundamental fact and that is that when Luke called Jodi’s home at least 45 minutes after she’d left that home Judith showed no concern that her daughter hadn’t met with Luke and not once in the proceeding hours before she spoke to Luke and found out that her daughter wasn’t with him did she check if her daughter and Luke had eventually met. There really is no way around that and why you think Corrine Mitchell showed have showed more concern for Jodi’s welfare than her own mother, after all the girl had stood her son up before, heaven alone knows.
Judith, we are told, thought Jodi was staying in Easthouses, only a few minutes from her home so that she wasn’t with Luke should have produced alarm in her. Further if, as we know she was, Judith was aware that Jodi walked RD path on her own that should have multiplied that alarm. Having not been seen for 45 minutes no matter what route she took should have instigated blind panic in her mother, I know it would me. Yet it didn’t. Could that be because Judith knew that Jodi sometimes changed her plans at the last moment…of course we have previous evidence of this..who knows? What I do know is that with no signs to the contrary Luke probably thought that Jodi had stood him up again…had met friends and was spending time with them. There was nothing to signal that she had come to any harm and, if I was him I’d have been a bit peeved that I’d been stood up, again.
Your reasoning here is almost as barmy as the time you tried to justify that LM couldn't have been that keen on Kimberley Thompson because he didn't ask his mother to drive him to Kenmore so that he could be with her more often -- bearing in mind that the roundtrip distance from his house to hers is 4 hours in a car! Not exactly convenient, eh, Faith? But, you could not accept this obvious problem and fact; instead, you tried to counter it with: "But LM had Corinne wrapped around his little finger. She'd lied for him about the murder, so why wouldn't she do this for him?" Downright barmy! Remember, KT testified in court that she still thought she was LM's girlfriend right up until she read reports in newspapers about his relationship with Jodi. She said she was upset when she found out Luke had been dating Jodi behind her back. We know LM was serious about KT, because: he'd met her in the summer of 2002 whilst on holiday in Kenmore; he'd phoned her 70-80 times between Jan 03 and June 03 (call logs as evidence in court) and she had stayed at his house over Christmas time 02 and again on St Valentine's day 03. Crucially, between those aforementioned 70-80 calls, he'd called KT on the night of 28.06.03 for a full 2 hours -- just after he'd had sex with Jodi and she'd went home in a taxi from his house before her 2200 curfew time. Clearly, he didn't reciprocate that love she felt for him -- the love and feelings she had for him were recorded in her diary -- and clearly didn't respect her. Denied having a relationship with KT behind Jodi's back; indicative of his lies and deceit, which were factors in building that circumstantial case without forensics, against him (per se not conclusive, but tied with all the other planks of circumstantial evidence, his lies and deceit were very important in securing that guilty verdict).
Those 45 mins would've seemed like 10 mins to Judith and AO. It was dinner time, she was in the middle of making lasagne, had a big family around her and in near proximity (3 of her own kids, a husband, her mother, nieces, nephews, second cousins, etc); a busy network of people who she contacted daily, wether by foot or phone. Yep, that 45 mins would have flown by. LM phoning the Jones landline at 1741 to hatch the false alibi and to feign concern; and doing it at just the right time so as to not arouse suspicion (only 45 mins had elapsed since Jodi had left) and him knowing full well that not phoning back again would give the impression that they had eventually met (and we'll never know if Judith or AO tried to phone Jodie back immediately after LM hung up, as her phone was broken; maybe this was discussed at the original trial?). And I don't need to include all the other circumstantial evidence again: the credible sightings by AB & LF & RW, placing him at opposite ends of the path at crucial times (the times of these sightings weren't plucked from thin air; they were carefully and meticulously calculated). Was seen confronting her at RDPE, and then on his own, 50 mins later, at RDPW looking edgy and up to no good. AB, LF & RW were all as sure as they could be that it was him; there was no doubt in their sightings of it being him facially and in terms of hairstyle (the jacket issue inevitably had some kinks to iron out, but they got there, and it was accepted by the crown and jury). Leonard Kelly hearing those disturbing strangling noises at 1710/1715 as he cycled by (the noises made him slow down to listen). Of chasing the abbey boys up, desperate to be in their company, to bolster that alibi; and the boys noting how clean he looked; was acting differently and strangely that night (testified under oath). Phoning his mother, not seen for expansive amounts of time by anyone over the course of that evening. The strange burning smells emanating from his back garden (there goes those jeans, boots and parka!). The missing knife and missing parka (still missing .... and he definitely did own both these items before the murder; proved beyond reasonable doubt). His brother caught out lying about the alibi and all the lies and inconsistent stories from LM and his family which have all been discussed endlesssly on various websites (aided by folk who were at the trial; who by virtue of the evidence they heard during those 9 weeks, that he and his family were lying). And, of course, LM's frequent violent behaviour -- physically and mentally -- which caused concern from as young as primary school (throttling another.pupil in primary schooll so badly that teachers thought he needed an intervention); and climbing on top of a girl when he was 11 and threatening her with a knife because she wouldn't have sex with him! Oh, and it was he who kept bleating on about Manson and his black dahlia paintings in meetings with police psycholigists; so, no, the police didn't formulate a theory out of nothing -- Luke Mitchell gave them all the clues by virtue of his own behaviour and actions.
Guilty as hell!
