"Innocents Betrayed " by Sandra Lean

James Easton - Facebook 19th December 2023
CYCLISTS TRIAL TRANSCRIPTS

Although we have the Andrew Holburn transcript, unfortunately, it has just been confirmed that trial proceedings, involving the other two cyclists, Grant Elliott and Dean Houston, have not been transcribed and thus presently unavailable.

Meaning only Grant Elliott, Dean Houston and all the people who heard their evidence during their testimony would know what they stated during the trial

And why are you choosing to refer to them as “cyclists”?

Dean Houston“occasionally” cycled to school with killer Luke Mitchell, he was a fellow pupil at the same school as the killer

Most frustrating and especially as all three appeared as witnesses on the same day.

Why do you think the killer and his lawyers didn’t obtain trial transcripts for witnesses like Grant Elliott and Dean Houston?

To request an actual transcript from scratch, if possible, could be extremely expensive, obviously depending on how much work was involved.

Quoting the Scottish Courts web site:

"The cost of transcribing is £91.23 per hour or £1.52 per minute, plus VAT".

I shall personally ask for a quote though.

It is extremely unlikely the courts will release the actual audio copies of these witnesses testimony to any member of the public, especially due to their young age at the time they gave their evidence 

Incidentally, I note that in her book, Sandra Lean claims:

"Just before six o’clock, Luke was identified by people who knew him, sitting on a wall at the end of his street, 400 - 500 metres further along the Newbattle Road, wearing completely different clothes (baggy jeans,
green bomber jacket with orange lining and distinctive, light coloured snowboarding boots)".

Andrew Holburn did not know killer Luke Mitchell

Also none of these three witnesses appear to have said they saw the killer “sitting on a wall”

“Dean said that he occasionally cycled to school with Mr Mitchell, and Grant said the accused was still standing at the same spot as he made his return journey home some 20 minutes to half-an-hour later.

https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12410701.cyclists-tell-trial-of-seeing-jodi-accused/

“As they passed the youth, Andrew asked who he was. Both his pals said it was Luke Mitchell.
Grant Elliot and Dean Houston, both 15, confirm to the court that they had seen Mitchell on the night Jodi was killed. All three witnesses identify Mitchell in the dock. Houston, who said he occasionally cycled to school with Mitchell, says: 'I'm sure he was on the phone.' And Grant Elliot tells the court that Mitchell was still standing at the same spot 20 minutes to half an hour later.

Trial testimony of the productions of killer Luke Mitchell’s mobile telephone records will most probably be able to establish whether or not the killer made a call, like Dean Houston’s evidence suggested he may have done

This is part of a longer section, in which various sightings of Luke and his clothing are compared.

Point being, this apparently relates to the cyclists and there is no known, supporting evidence that Luke was seen by them, wearing his green bomber jacket.

  or those cream coloured snow boots

In fact, the one testimony we do have, from Andrew Holburn, categorically rules out a bomber jacket and so far as I am aware, there's is no known, publication as regards what the other two cyclists described Luke wearing, or even if they were asked to.

Of course they would have been asked to describe what the killer was wearing 🙄

What reason would there have been for the police to not have asked them to describe what he was wearing? 🙄

This is important, as until now, Sandra's claim has been seen as supporting evidence that Luke was wearing his green bomber jacket, by three independent witnesses,

This is yet more of scammer Sandra Lean’s innocence fraud nonsense -

“three independent witnesses” did describe the killer as wearing his green bomber jacket -

David High, David Tullock and the other lad with David Tulloch

at this moment and implying other sightings, around the same time and of Luke wearing different clothing are factually challenged.

Who by?

Sandra Lean also states:

"A more credible explanation, based on all of the available evidence, is that there was no parka, German army shirt or fishing clothes belonging to Luke on June 30th and that he was wearing the bomber jacket the whole day and evening, up to the point that Jodi’s body was found".

There would have been witnesses who gave evidence of what the killer was wearing to school that day

Andrina Bryson didn’t suggest killer Luke Mitchell was dressed to go fishing, her description was what she perceived his parka reminded her of

There was, however, an army surplus, German army shirt, which Luke owned, as of 30 June.

Sandra Lean was a regular contributor to the same 2010 thread on the 'International Skeptics' forum, in which Luke's mother, Corinne Mitchell verified:

Scammers Sandra Lean and Corinne Mitchell were also regular contributors to the WAP forum.

Corinne Mitchell was subsequently banned from the WAP forum by un-convicted baby killer Billy Middleton, because her statements were exposing her and her killer sons guilt even more

Note: All of scammer Sandra Lean and Corinne Mitchell’s statements from the WAP forum have since been deleted from the World Wide Web

28 June, 2010

"Luke did have a german army shirt which the police took. He got another one for his birthday....and the police took that too and as they were never produced as "evidence" in court they didn't find anything on them".

Are you beginning to recognise how scammers Corinne Mitchell and Sandra Lean aren’t on the same page so to speak?

So he could have had two or more of these army shirts before he committed his murder

What clothing items did Matthew Muraska list that the killer wore to army cadets?

The killer also had a Marilyn Manson calendar for his birthday (found ripped up in a bin), which appears to have been seized by police on the 4th July - his birthday wasn’t until the end of July

Did killer Luke Mitchell and his mother also buy a replacement green army shirt from FLIP on the 8th July as well as the parka?

Incidentally, I was wondering what Sandra Lean had remarked concerning the fact that Luke had met up with friends, David High and David Tulloch, plus one other, circa 7 p.m. and they had smoked cannabis in the grounds of Newbattle College, eventually making their way to the 'Tarzan' swing, past Luke's house.

Sandra covers it, briefly:

"By seven o’clock, Jodi hadn’t turned up, so Luke called his mother and asked her to direct Jodi, if she turned up at the house, to the grounds of Newbattle Abbey, where he had arranged to meet some other
friends.

Killer Luke Mitchell initially invited David High to meet him at his home in Newbattle abbey crescent

At some time thereafter he contacted David High again and told David (High) he would instead meet him at the abbey

The 7pm time appears to have been when David Tullock and the other lad met up with David High

The estimated time when killer Luke Mitchell arrived at the abbey does not appear to have been reported on

What time did David High, David Tullock and the other lad estimate there was a heavy downpour of rain?

And at what time did Alan Turnbull calculate this heavy downpour occurred?

The timings of the heavy downpour of rain that evening is something the police would have established very early on during their investigation 


At 10:38pm, while he was taking his dog...".

Sandra Lean omits the drug taking component entirely.

She omits a wealth -

Another relevant fact being that Corinne Mitchell’s evidence was that her killer son had taken her dog out for a walk at around 9:40pm

Nonetheless, there is nothing seemingly untoward in Luke doing so, if he presumed Jodi was not turning up, for whatever reason.

🙄 There is everything “seemingly untoward” in killer Luke Mitchell’s behaviour after telephoning the Jones’ home phone

When he eventually met up with David High he told him Jodi Jones “couldn’t come out”

Why would he say this?

It’s a massive red flag!

“The witness told the court that on the evening of 30 June last year, the day when Jodi was killed, he met up with Mr Mitchell at Newbattle Abbey College. But he noticed Mr Mitchell was by himself. He told the court: "I asked him where Jodi was because it was unusual for them not to be together. "He said that she wasn't coming out." The court heard that when questioned by police after the murder, Mr High had given a slightly different version of that, stating that Mr Mitchell had said Jodi "couldn't" come out.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4066537.stm

This (when he got to the abbey) was more than likely the first time the killer had had a chance for his drug taking since the lunchtime

He had been busy attempting to put an alibi in place, changing his clothes and washing his face and hands etc

Indeed, if guilty of having just killed Jodi, it would be a 'cold hearted murder', personified.

Sadistic, psychopath Luke Mitchell did kill Jodi Jones and it was indeed “a cold hearted murder”

It perhaps gives pause for related thought and something therein, I will come back to.

As an adoptee, how do you think Corinne Mitchell’s mental health impacted on her and in turn her two sons over the years?

And what have you been able to establish regarding Corinne Mitchell’s self medicating via drink and drugs?

Sandra Lean always gave the impression Corinne Mitchell was a heavy drinker

By the way, Corinne Mitchell attempted to project her undesirable character traits onto David High and referred to him as  a “notorious liar” 

Wasn’t David High’s evidence that he saw killer Luke Mitchell with the Lethal Jack Pyke skunting knife when he was with him on the evening of the 30th June 2003?

Will be interesting to see if Donald Findlay asked David High about the killer’s Swiss Army knife (label 58)

And THEN, they're going to tie me to a stake, pile all the remaining copies of the book around me and burn the whole lot. And THEN, they're going to take the remains and dunk them three times in the village pond, just to make absolutely sure.

What a mess!

Corinne Mitchell stated her killer son Luke Mitchell took her dog Mia out for a walk at 9:40pm- and she appeared insistent with this time

But killer Luke Mitchell claimed he took Mia out an hour later, at around 10:43pm, although he had also claimed he received Judith Jones’ first text message when he was in his bedroom


Killer Luke Mitchell:

I got home at about twenty five to ten. David High phoned me part of the way home.

When I was in my room about twenty past, half past ten and got a text message from her mums phone saying ‘Right, Jodi, you’re in big trouble for being late’

Her mum (inaudible). I phoned Jodi’s mum right back and told her Jodi wasn’t with me.(10:43pm)

Her mum sounded shocked and I said ‘Where is she’

As far as she knew, she was on her way to see me.

Her mum said she would phone her Gran and her sister to check up. She hung up.

I took Mia my Alsatian dog out for a walk round the field.

When I was out I got another call from Jodi’s mum. She was crying and saying that Jodi hasn’t been seen since she left the house about six o’clock

She said that she was going to phone the police and report her missing.

I went back to the house - I’d only been out ten minutes

When I got in, I told my mum what was happening and that Jodi was missing.

She said that I better go out and look for her.

I took a torch with me and took Mia

[Nicholas]

It seems the police asked killer Luke Mitchell what he and Jodi Jones had eaten for lunch on the 30th June 2003

David High bought killer Luke Mitchell a bottle of coke and according to the killer Jodi Jones had some of his Coca Cola and this appears to be the last thing Jodi Jones had consumed   


Killer Luke Mitchell: I gave Jodi a drink of my coke

[Nicholas]

Corinne Mitchell stated her killer son Luke Mitchell took her dog Mia out for a walk at 9:40pm- and she appeared insistent with this time

But killer Luke Mitchell claimed he took Mia out an hour or so later, at around just gone 10:43pm, although he had also claimed he received Judith Jones’ first text message when he was in his bedroom


Killer Luke Mitchell:

Killer Luke Mitchell first telephoned Judith Jones’ mobile phone at 10:43pm and 12 seconds

He claimed to Dc Alan Towers he took Mia the dog out for a walk after this phone call

It was this call in which Judith Jones hung up the phone

Also going by the killer’s account given to Dc Alan Towers (on 1st July 2003 at Dalkeith police station) he would have deleted his phones history before taking Mia the dog out (calls deleted at 10:35pm)

Judith Jones next telephoned killer Luke Mitchell at 10:49pm

So this was the time killer Luke Mitchell claimed he then went back home

The next call from Judith Jones to killer Luke Mitchell was at 11:01pm

These timings suggest killer Luke Mitchell didn’t leave his home in Newbattle abbey crescent until approximately around gone 11:00pm

Her mum (inaudible). I phoned Jodi’s mum right back and told her Jodi wasn’t with me. (10:43pm)

David High left the abbey at around 8:05pm because his curfew was at 8:30pm

Killer Luke Mitchell told Dc Alan Towers that David Tulloch had “chummed” him part way home

Corinne Mitchell claimed her killer son got home at around 9:00pm

Corinne Mitchell:

It was quite early, it was about 9ish

I said to him I was surprised he was early and I said seen as you are early you can take the dog out

Shortly after 9 I think

Yes but it was still quite early, it was still not long after 9, so it is still quite early

Corinne Mitchell also claimed her killer son took her dog Mia out for a walk at around 9:40pm

Corinne Mitchell:

I asked him to take the dog out, he might hear something by then

…well take the dog out for a walk and you might have heard something

No it was before 10, it must have been about 20 to 10 when he’s taken her out

No they took… he got the text message from Jodi while he was out with the dog, because he came back very shortly after he went out

They could have got a telephone call I’m not sure

I can’t remember if its a phone call or a text he got when he was out, it was one of the two

As far as I can recall, I thought he got the text message when he was out and that’s why he came back earlier
