Is DR Sandra Lean a credible source?

[Parky41]

Sandra Lean still hasn’t bothered to inform her followers she was wrong about Jane Hamilton’s article

Her excerpts read,
‘What's on my mind is Jane Hamilton of the Daily Record. I'm not sharing her article for obvious reasons, but I did want to address a couple of points.

‘Finally, journalists are supposed to have a reasonable grasp of the English language. The new evidence hasn't been "poured over" - nobody upended a jug of liquid over it. She means, of course, pored over.

How many more times

‘Pored’ was used in Jane’s article.

The spelling mistake appears to have occurred when the article was uploaded to the DR website. Maybe spellchecker changed it to ‘poured’?

Regardless, Sandra Lean was wrong again

She was wrong. The print copy had the correct spelling. - Ms Lean went on to say "glad to see that Jane Hamilton has corrected the spelling" - implying after she had pointed it out to her.

Whilst it may sound trivial picking Ms Lean up on this - but not as trivial and wrong of Ms Lean in the first instance to use it to mock Jane Hamilton. - And the relevant point of course being - that Ms Lean will not admit to wrong.

And of myself - I have a word blindness at times. It can often take a lot of effort to put things across coherently. Yet one instantly gets picked up on, in the exact same manner as with Ms Lean - of dreek to dreich. poured to pored, pulpit to parapet and of course carnivore to cadaver. Using this a means to mock the poster/speaker. - of somehow being superior in intellect?

Who are SD and JT?

A male and a female who appear to be very local to where Ms Lean stays. One of the 'amigos' now with Joe Steeles brother. Very shady ex con - mainly class A drugs. The female has been removed from some of the support groups due to her OTT actions. Openly admits to being somewhat of a "screwball?"

Thanks, Parky.

I’ve just now briefly looked at a few minutes of Sharon, Kenny, Steph and Dani’s Q&A

I noticed how none of them answered the question of how Luke Mitchell knew what [Name removed] was wearing that night nor did they comment on the hair scrunchie

And they seem to think they know how Luke reacted that night because of what Sandra has said was written in statements.

JaJ said he looked shocked because his eyes were wide

On reflection - following the initial shock it’s obvious JaJ realised this was not what his eyes were saying at all

Definitely - On reflection, once that initial haze lifted - which on reflection shows us how traumatised this poor girls family were. And rightly so. That once that haze had lifted a little - that reflection showed exactly how LM was. And if fitted in exactly with how the police found him. Unfazed. Cool and collective. Of his time at the station. Happily sitting away, filling them in with every rehearsed lie - No breaks, no tears - nothing. And this was how he remained throughout. This is the LM the Jury saw every day of that trial. The media and every other person who crammed into that court room.

Of his interview on the Friday (4th) with a social worker present - not once did they have to intervene - As LM told the police how to do their Job, taking control - this is the LM that was found guilty. Who came across as exactly the type to carry out such a brutal crime.

Have caught another few minutes of the Q&A

Sharon, Kenny, Steph and Dani are claiming Luke Mitchell acted innocent

Do they then think all killers act guilty ?

Kenny thinks Luke would have marks on him because [Name removed] had defensive injuries - he even point to his arms and says it’s ‘ridiculous’ to support his belief

CSI syndrome springs to mind

Kenny also can’t seem to get his head round why Luke would have purchased a replacement knife, he says ‘to state the obvious if Luke had of done this why would he want to be seen to be getting another knife anyway’

‘Why would Corinne was to buy him another knife you know what I mean’

‘If there’s no logic to it - it doesn’t make sense’ says Kenny

Steph says, ‘he’s acting like an innocent person’ - ‘Just going about his normal’

[Nicholas]

Did Corinne buy Luke the replacement skunting knife as a Christmas present ?

[faithlilly]

This is disgusting, and there is no excuse for this kind of behaviour by "campaigners"------threatening people, defacing property, etc etc.

I have some doubts re the guilt of Luke Mitchell, I don't much  like Jane Hamilton's reporting, and I do like Sandra Lean's book (not the podcasts/interviews, which I don't watch), but it is appalling the way some of these campaigners behave.

Agreed.

[mrswah]

Did Corinne buy Luke the replacement skunting knife as a Christmas present ?

I heard that he needed it for outdoor activities---camping, etc.

Corinne Mitchell lies

What was the date it was purchased?

Did she wrap it up as a Christmas present?

What do the various statements say regarding this?

And did Philip Mitchell know about Luke and his knives?

I read somewhere that Shane had a collection of knives----is this true?  Was Luke in any way influenced by his big brother?  (And, no, I'm not blaming Shane for anything, merely pointing out that a teenage boy might look up to,  be influenced by his much older brother). 

Who knows what his father knew or didn't know.

Any idea of the answers to my questions?

What Sandra Leans behaviour shows too is she clearly has no idea how the media works

Jane Hamilton doesn’t run the Daily Records website - she’s a journalist - she writes

[Vertigo Swirl]

I heard that he needed it for outdoor activities---camping, etc.

outdoor activities—-camping, murder, etc.

[Nicholas]

outdoor activities—-camping, murder, etc.

That’ll be about right

Corinne Mitchell’s decision to buy Luke another knife around Christmas time was wrong, especially given all the circumstances

As was her decision to invite the media in to film Luke lighting a candle and speak with him on the day [Name removed] was being buried

Then there was the defiant visit to [Name removed]’s graveside - taking along Laura who we know [Name removed] once suspected Luke was cheating on her with

The hedgehog story with James English was interesting too

Did Luke watch the hedgehog die - ‘it wasn’t going to be a happy ending’ or did that happen during her alleged ‘2 hour shift’ ?

Sandra Lean may behave like an egomaniac but she has yet again made herself look very foolish - especially to those of us who know she was wrong from the off

Her behaviour may impress some of those around her - those who currently hang on to her every word but the cracks are beginning to show

I too have read that Shane had a collection of knives ... don't ask me where, one reads so much.  I think boys who appear to have a fixation on knives should have been a grave concern given the prevalence of youth knife crime around that time.
