Do you know how many witnesses gave evidence about seeing him up in the disposed of/burnt that didn’t testify in court?
Don't know exactly, Nicholas. I suspect a lot (I heard about another 20 saw him in the original parka but weren't called to give evidence).
Interestingly, on the Shirley McKie tapatalk website, there is a thread exclusively on the LM case and it contains some interesting — sometimes obscure — info on the case. One of the most interesting pieces of info I’ve read from that site was from a woman with the username ‘alison’, and you can tell from her posts that she’s not a troll or anyone with an agenda against either Luke or Jodi. This woman grew up near LM & JODJ and said her two children knew both LM & JODJ and said that both her children had been deeply traumatised by the case (she never mentioned if her children were called as witnesses to court; she made a point of not revealing too much of her family and personal details, which was fair enough and sensible). Anyway, this woman called alison said, categorically, that she had seen LM wearing a green parka a couple of times before the murder — one of her sightings was a couple of weeks before the murder and the other was in late May, 2003. She indicated that Jodi was with Luke in one of these sightings. She also said that if she was ever called to court and had to give the evidence of her sightings of LM with the green parka on before the murder that she would, and also claimed that CM was a liar for denying any knowledge of Luke having a parka before the murder (alison never said she had seen CM with LM when he was wearing the parka before 30.06.03, but maybe this is what she was implying by that comment?). She also said that she thought LM was guilty. This info from alison in regards to the parka was enough to convince me that LM did definitely own one before the murder.
