Luke Mitchell - The other reported knife assaults on girls.

[Nicholas]

In my opinion there is just far too much going on in this case which could in any way point to an innocent Luke Mitchell.  Had he really been the poor innocent teenager as portrayed by some then there wouldn't be all this circumstantial evidence, failed alibis and genuine sightings of him. No wonder the SSCRC saw through this sham campaign.

And now Sandra Lean is raising money on GoFundMe on the basis of a lie?

Suspect she’s attempting to emulate the US innocence fraud model

He knew not to put Mitchell on the stand though in case he called the judge a f..king retard too.

"QC Donald Findlay had tried to convince the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh that Mitchell, then 15, was "grilled" by bullying detectives.

The original trial jury heard extracts of the police interview. The schoolboy answered back, calling one officer "a f****** retard."

So a ‘massive fail’ by a top QC too?

I’m surprised that Luke calling the officer a ‘f*cking retard’ bothers you more than this from Luke’s 2008 appeal.

‘ At times the nature of the questioning was such that the questioner did not seem to be seriously interested in a response from the appellant but rather endeavouring to break him down into giving some hoped-for confession by his overbearing and hostile interrogation. Such conduct, particularly where the interviewee was a 15 year old youth, can only be deplored.’

do you not think that the way in which the interview was conducted that it kind of goaded him in to acting that way?

Absolutely

‘with regard to the sky interview.......it was never meant to happen! As at that time we had no experience of the press or media and were "tricked" into that interview
as for "toying with the police"......Luke was 14years old.......I am not entirely sure a 14year old would have the guts....or sense to "toy with the police" and  I can assure you he wasn't.



sorry, missed a question!
It would be unlikely Jodi would have disturbed someone walking down the path as it was quite well used by dog walkers and joggers!
However, if she was going behind the wall to say meet [Name removed] to get some cannabis before meeting Luke she may well have disturbed someone.

What was it Corinne called James Matthews in the Ch5 documentary?   An entire camera crew walks into your house and you don't realise that they're going to interview your son...come on pull the other one!

Sandra will continuously downplay Luke's nature, but how many 14 year old kids have already had involvement with several psychiatrists?

She also tried to downplay the Satanism interest and was left with egg on her face when he repaid her efforts by demanding Satanism textbooks be provided to him by Shotts Prison as his "religious right." This was an adult Mitchell in his late 20's, still not grown out of his Satanism "phase."

I couldn’t make out what she called James Matthews but Mitchell appeared fine to me being filmed near the candle display on the table

How many 12 year old boys do you know show signs of “sexual aggression’ and hold knives to young girls throats for a kiss?

The problems appeared to have started after the father left to start a new home in Livingston.


"Born in July 1988, his parents Corinne and Philip split up when he was 11. He grew up under the care of his mother and she allowed him to do exactly as he pleased. He lived in a state of near squalor; keeping his own urine in bottles in his bedroom, rarely washing and wearing the same clothes for days on end.

Left largely to his own devices he became defiant, violent and brooding with an unhealthy fascination with knives, the occult and drugs. He was first brought to the attention of the mental health profession aged just 11, following a fight at King’s Park Primary in Dalkeith. Although the incident was just a minor skirmish with another pupil, Mitchell’s attitude was sufficiently troublesome to warrant a referral to a school psychiatrist. However, there appears to have been little further action taken by the education authorities or his parents to curb his behaviour."

It would be interesting to know how he was getting on at school when aged 14, ie, whether he was then seeing an educational psychologist/receiving extra help/in contact with mental health services/social services, etc.  Does anyone know?

Mitchell refused to see anyone

And there appears to have been no encouragement from his mother Corrine either to address these apparent ‘warning signs’

Maybe she was concerned it would call into question her parenting skills?

These traits can sometimes skip a generation apparently

Some choose to murder some don’t

Prof James Fallen’s work on murderers might be of interest
