What happened with this

Luke Mitchell to launch legal battle against lawyer who prepared defence case - 13th March 2011 by Christine Lavelle
“KILLER Luke Mitchell is said to be gearing up for another legal battle – this time against the lawyer who prepared his failed defence case.

Mitchell is believed to be planning to sue Nigel Beaumont for “negligence and misrepresentation” at his trial for brutally murdering his 14-year-old girlfriend Jodi Jones.

An insider at Shotts Prison in Lanarkshire, where the 22-year-old is serving a life sentence, said “deluded” Mitchell has already spoken to a lawyer about launching a private prosecution against Mr Beaumont.

The source said: “Mitchell has spoken to a lawyer about suing Nigel Beaumont on the basis that he failed in his job.

“As far as Mitchell is concerned, it is Beaumont’s fault he’s behind bars.

“Mitchell is determined to clear his name and will stop at nothing.

“He is deluded.

“He genuinely believes he has a strong case.”

Mitchell was 14 when he carried out the attack on Jodi; whose body was found mutilated and bound in woodland near her home in Dalkeith, Midlothian, in 2003.

He was convicted of murder at the High Court in Edinburgh in 2005 and will serve a minimum of 20 years behind bars.

Previous appeals to have his conviction quashed and sentence reduced have failed.

At the trial, Mitchell claimed his dog had found Jodi’s body because it recognised her scent, but prosecutors argued he had known all along where her body lay.

Mitchell, also from Dalkeith, claims Mr Beaumont should have gathered evidence to back-up his claims.

Mr Beaumont, who built the defence case, led by Donald Findlay QC, said: “Mr Mitchell’s case was conducted with the utmost maximum care.

“All possible avenues were investigated in terms of the evidence led.

“I refute and suggestion that myself, or any other member of Mr Mitchell’s defence team, were negligent.”

Like I said, they were in an intimate relationship and having sex regularly.

There is no evidence for this

4 or 5 times since end of March/early April 2003 to the 28th June 2003

Statement by Sandra Lean during her keeping the record straight video at around 44:26

“When he was asked how often he and Jodi had had sex during the relationship he said 4 or 5

Scammer Sandra Lean from her second innocence fraud book IB, page 269

DC1: How many times did you have sex with Jodi
Luke: about 5 or 6 times

Maybe it was July 9th '03 and I am mistaken.

Scammer Sandra Lean stated during her keeping the record straight video at around 53:44;

“..a receipt for a jacket which was bought that day, I think it was the 7th of July”

What was the name of this defence witness?

Were they a colleague of Nigel Beaumont?

Ground 12
[21] The final ground of appeal which the single judge held not to be arguable concerns certain information about a possible connection between a defence witness and one of the jurors. The witness, who was an employee of the firm of solicitors acting for the applicant, gave in the course of the trial uncontroversial evidence about times taken to walk along a route from the applicant's home to certain points of significance and to run back part of the way. According to the grounds of appeal the witness subsequently informed her employers that
"she would be known to [the juror] and that there was reason to believe that [the juror] would be hostile to both her and her sister. It is believed that [the juror] may believe that [the witness's] sister caused her to lose her employment in recent times. It is submitted that [the juror] ought to have brought this matter to the attention of the court as she was well aware she was obliged to".

Was this defence witness during sadistic killer Luke Mitchell’s trial Gillian Law referred to here https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/luke-mitchell-plots-appeal-over-1095460 and here https://www.thefreelibrary.com/JODI+DOUBT%3B+Mitchell+may+walk+after+new+murder+suspect+emerges.-a0155722297

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."

Why would one of the staff from Flip randomly contact the police about a parka that had no relevance at the time

Killer Luke Mitchell’s parka jacket, which he wore when he committed his murder, was missing (Wasn’t found during the 4th July 2003 police search)

He was buying a replacement khaki green parka style jacket - ergo it was highly relevant

[Nicholas]

Did sadistic killer Luke Mitchell initially tell police he was meeting Jodi Jones at the abbey?

“Jodi had arranged to meet her boyfriend at a local abbey on Monday night, but never arrived. Although her body was not found until late at night, Roman Dyke is only minutes from her home, and detectives believe she was killed shortly after she left her house.

With such a short timeframe, detectives are keen to speak to anyone who saw Jodi after 5pm and appeals are concentrating on this.

You still haven’t explained why sadistic killer Luke Mitchell waited almost 20 minutes to telephone Judith Jones after her 10:17pm telephone call & 10:20pm text message

I haven’t explained because it didn’t happen.

I’m not sure why I need to explain this to you but here goes. When Corrine bought the parka jacket in Flip after the murder the staff members would have had no idea who Corrine, and Luke who was with her, were. They would have had no idea that any the clothes bought that day were of any relevance.

It could only have been after Luke’s photo had appeared in the media, with the parka on, that the staff could have had any idea that the jacket was significant. Of course this was at least two months after the receipts for the clothes from Flip had been given by Corrine to the FLO.

For me the Flip claim is a total red herring.

They also have Jodi leaving her house after 5pm so bang goes Bryson’s sighting.

Judith Jones telephoned sadistic killer Luke Mitchell at 10:17pm then sent a text message a 10:20pm

Killer Luke Mitchell waited almost 20 minutes before contacting Judith Jones

No one has said this was what happened

The police were tipped off on the day the parka style jacket was purchased from FLIP!

Definitely NOT a red herring

Colin Proctor represented FLIP during the trial

He was NOT the staff member who had tipped off police

The staff member who tipped off the police knew Jodi Jones
