Do you no longer believe that all individuals deal differently with trauma?
It is a mute point anyway as Janine told police on that first morning after the murder that ‘everyone was in hysterics’ and the 999 operator’s ‘laddie’ comment reinforces Luke’s demeanour after he found the body.
Mute point - perhaps this is one of the most ridiculous points you have made so far, other than the repetitive, move on we have proved this - rubbish. The recordings were played at trial, I, nor anyone else needs to prove this. The onus of proof to show this to be false is on Ms Lean. She has already admitted these recordings were played, that she doesn't physically have them but has the court transcripts around them? - I wonder if she actually does, as it is becoming clearer of how little she factually does have? - Those phone records, the investigation and elimination of others, statements, that of SK's father, now of AO. - the defence papers? How were the rest of the search party in comparison to LM.? When clarification was sought around these "hysterics?" Who was vomiting? However:
Firstly, and remember here, that anyone who is discussing the evidence led by the Crown does not have the onus of proof to bare. The onus of proof to show that Mitchell is anything other than guilty, lies with the few who campaign on his behalf. They have failed miserably, as they can not even come close to this. - Mainly because there is this blank line of discussion when it comes to the Mitchells. - This consistent avenue of passing the buck. It only works on the few, who instantly jump on these repetitive rabbits getting pulled out the hat.
The repetitive rabbits - Those minute areas of verbatim used to add weight to air. Extracted from statements consisting of 1000's of words. Those missing pre and after areas, those vital areas of context. Or those 'what about?" Let's highlight a couple of areas here.
Jodi had been banned from using this path by her mother - What does JuJ actually say about this? When did she ban her daughter?, why did she ban her daughter?. We are told nothing of this, what we are however shown is a couple of small excerpts to show that she may have walked this path at some point, alone. It proves nothing. It gives absolutely no reason as to why LM made claim to simply idling away for the best part of two hours. It matters not a jot if this girl had walked this path alone before - what does matter and only matters is that - LM knew of this ban, that he knew the isolation of the path in question as being the reason for this ban. That there was absolutely no reason for him to hang around - there is an abundance of evidence to show however that this was made up. Instead of those couple of tiny excerpts to prove some futile point, where are the other statements of accounts, of Jodi being banned? - her friends? As stated, these predictive rabbits are indictive of everything in the blatant weakness of which they are used. They only highlight more so, of how much evidence there was against LM, that clear cut suspicion, the strength of the prosecution case.
LM idling away for the best part of two hours, over:
Firstly that initial lie, of leaving home to meet with Jodi en-route. Of this being around 5.45pm.The meeting was claimed to be at 6pm.
Jodi walking an isolated path to meet with him.
The ban of using this isolated path.
These clear cut reasons as to why a 14yr old would not simply idle the time away, watching and waiting.
That clear cut proof that LM would know of the ban of walking this path.
Clear cut reason and knowledge of this isolated path, the dangers for a young girl.
The sighting by F&W.
Nothing for approx 18mins - we know it takes less that 7mins to get from his house onto the path itself.
That there is an expanse of woodland behind this gate, near to this gate is an entrance into a pathway to these woods.
We know there is a river flowing through here (The Esk)
We know there are openings from these woods onto Newbattle Abbey crescent.
Three sightings in the space of 15 - 20 mins, from 6pm - 6.15pm and just after. Busy road at this time of day? Yet nothing from the sighting by F&W around 17.40pm. And absolutely no sightings of him from just after 6.15pm until he met with the boys at 7.30pm So that is three sightings in a very small time frame. 1 sighting just after 17.40pm.
Where was LM? the rest of the time?
That he did not phone back, more so with the knowledge of this isolated path. She was not late with that first call.
She was however very late, by his claims after it. Claimed to be walking this isolated path on her own.
That there was absolutely nothing to show that his girl would have went elsewhere. His very claims are of this meet at 6pm.
Which only adds more weight into not phoning back. Remember here, by his first account, this is around 17.50pm.
She had not even been late when he phoned. He was told she had left to meet with him.
He did not phone back - we know of course why. As we know he had not left his house at 17.45pm
So you see, the time lapse on the Jones side is irrelevant to all and everything LM claimed to have done. - it is simply a diversion tactic. Even If/with Jodi having walked this path alone at some point previously to the ban, it is still irrelevant to LM's claims.
And Faithlilly wants to know, minute by minute what AB was doing after the sighting of LM and Jodi around 4.55pm? - one is having a laugh surely?- perhaps explaining the above, with sense would be a better area of discussion before that of irrelevant time lapse with others, whom were clearly busy. Not this claimed rubbish above, which is paramount to twiddling his thumbs for the best part of two hours?? - normal for a 14yr old boy to do?, of course it's not.
Let's add on him telling DH Jodi was not coming out.
Of telling Jodi's mother he thought she had been grounded again.
Of Jodi leaving home prior to 5pm to meet with him and only him.
That Jodi had told her mother that they would be "mucking around up here"
That this girl who had been banned from using this path due to its isolation, would not have wandered into the woodland on her own
That the first place LM looked for Jodi was in this woodland, at the 'Gino spot'
That LM claimed never to have been in this woodland before.
That LM claimed he did not know of the existence of this V break.
The list is endless of course, there is much more - And none of it can be proven to be wrong, it is after all mainly LM's own account. It had massive holes in it from the moment he opened his mouth, those holes only got deeper as this investigation went on - And the police are blamed for this? The Crown, the defence, the Jones', the schoolteachers, the friends, any witness? On that note?
Where were the witness's for the Mitchells? - Character witness's for one? Why was LM's father not on the stand? His family? - anyone?
