Neil Willy stated,
‘Dr Lean is best known for her support of the unsuccessful innocence campaigns involving two other murderers, Luke Mitchell and Gordon Park.
He doesn’t appear to be aware of the depth of Sandra Leans involvement in Simon Halls innocence fraud campaign (as it turned out to be)
But I suspect this is his perception possibly based on what’s available on the WWW.
And he may not have read ‘No Smoke’ ?
or be aware of the material once posted to the WAP website - given the entire site was taken down http://miscarriageofjustice.co/index.php?topic=442.msg428172#msg428172
One's critical thinking skills may have been enough for her thesis to merit a pass - they are not credible in the real world though, are they? When one takes on board the word of known liars and works back from this. I mentioned before about the rotten apples spoiling the way our system works for others. Of those who have genuinely been wrongly accused/convicted, mixed in with those playing the system to the max. And we have the same thing happening here do we not? - When one is promoting liars, rightfully accused/convicted people along with those who are genuine.
And it is unsurprising why many discussions are overrun by those promoting this case as a possible MOJ, with misinformation and downright lies. For the truth in this case could not be any clearer, that Luke Mitchell was all but banged to rights. There was no damning forensic evidence. That there was an abundance of circumstantial evidence of which only a fraction was used - For the Crown to built their case from. And they did an outstanding Job in having this case as watertight as possible. For the avenues for appeals held no merit, they failed. Those painstaking months of hard work, dotting every I and crossing every T. Here we are more than 16 yrs from that conviction and Luke Mitchell is still banged upl where he belongs.
And how easy it has been for that perfect audience who know very little of this case. To readily accept what has been put out in the book/documentary. Where some of the believers/audience are those who have genuinely fought/fighting wrongful convictions. It is at the very heart of them, they know first hand how the system can get it wrong. That they do not know Ms Lean, they have no reason to doubt the word that she speaks. It is this blind faith, not only with the afflicted but with others that have drawn this support. That the lack of knowledge of this case has by far been the easiest to manipulate. Of Scottish Law and disclosure where people can not see how far the evidence has been twisted.
But of where it matters most, of these years gone by since that conviction 16yrs ago. That all that has been managed is to write this story, this trios version of their case. Of these claims of seeking Justice and Truth? When what we have witnessed since the release of IB is anything but truthful measures? And I will mention again that article from the Herald some two years ago. Where Ms Lean stated clearly that there was a new legal team on board. That there were hopes of a fresh appeal. That there was evidence that may be lost if funds were not produced within that two year time frame. That the "Long Road to Justice" was already promised. And we are left wondering if it was just the usual hot air, to promote the book to gain funds. For this legal team vanished as quickly as it had been mentioned. That Ms Mitchell in her podcast had been far from honest also. As with Ms Lean in hers with simple things such as AB only being shown a picture of LM to Identify. These half truths to draw the viewer/reader in.
And here we are yet again. Those promises of wonderful things to come. Just over two months ago there was talk of something happening, that it was being kept hush hush - that the biggest impact was required. That all would be revealed very soon? And bang - the impact was that there was to be a massive divide, that Ms Lean was stepping down from spearheading anything. That the mention of this new legal team turned into Ms Lean being demanded to hand those case files over. That it has been discovered that Ms Mitchell had not been without electric, water nor bread and butter. That it became apparent that this tug at heart strings were mainly for purse strings, to fund the new charity? Thus the fund me sites were yet again taken down. And people may say, or certainly have been aware it was more of a front than anything, that it should not matter? But it does when honesty and truth are being promoted?
I had been reading Ms Leans thesis, and it is easy to spot where Ms Mitchell and Luke participated. One should not be surprised at the lies for they have been widely published over time. But I was drawn to the appeal Judges. Of how they had mistakenly said the search trio left from Easthouse's. And the mountains made out of this over time. Of how the trio, the murderer, his mother and friend have tried consistently to draw away from how prepped and ready LM was. That he had gotten ready and been on RDP within 9 mins of that call to the police. We have already witnessed the blatant lies. Of search trios walking from the very top of Mayfield, of walking backwards and old arthritic grannies. Which should be enough for people to sit up and think why? Why are these people lying for there is only one reason for these lies, that there has only ever been one reason for all the lies - to hide the truth. That of which can not be changed, no matter how hard one tries, how many lies are told -That LM filled Ms Lean head with lies, of his actions and whereabouts that evening. That there is only one reason as to why he was on this path prior to 11pm, for he was prepped and ready. For he knew, being the murderer that the call/text would come, from Jodi's parents looking for their daughter.
To then grasp onto this error by the appeals judges. Claiming they either knew more and had slipped up (that massive conspiracy theory). Which in turn meant the search trio had lied under oath ( I know, the irony!) That it would explain why the search trio had gotten to this path quickly? I know the irony again, for there was none quicker than LM. So we have the lies, the Judges and this conspiracy theory in an attempt to cover up the lies of the Mitchells. The other irony of making claim to this being a whopper of an error by the appeal Judges? That Luke's defence advised them it meant nothing, which is bang on. But what of those massive whoppers of the errors Ms Lean told in "No Smoke". Of "they mystery man that followed Jodi into the path" - That is what is classed as a grave error. For Ms Lean to claim she only had media reports to go by? That in the same book one makes a song and dance of there being no ID by AB of Jodi. Yet Ms Lean had Jodi being followed into this path? When there had never been any such report of Jodi walking into this path by the media, far less a mystery man following her onto it.
So all these claims, this strive to show people there was no case for LM to answer to? That he was somehow singled out, fitted up with tunnel vision. Why all the lies? Why all the manipulation, the twists and turns. The consistent hopping from one foot to the next. The actual changing of testimony on the Mitchells behalf? When the truth is ones critical thinking was scarred from the off. In that 7 month period of calm prior to Mitchells arrest. That a massive part of this blight on our justice system stems from believing liars? Of Mitchell, Prout, Hall, Middleton, Parks and goodness knows who else? Who uses the honesty of those who were wrongfully convicted, who have suffered a terrible injustice by throwing these rotten apples in beside them. Is it not these very actions that cast dispersion, cause further problems for those who are indeed innocent? For these abusers of the system do cause problems for the honest and truthful amongst us.
