Channel Five documentary - "Murder in a Small Town"

[Vertigo Swirl]

Wasn't that another of Sandra Lean's "innocents"?

Has she ever managed to be attracted to a murder case which was a bona fide miscarriage of justice?

I expect her spokeswoman on this forum will let us know which cases of injustice Sandra has successfully resolved.

Interestingly his wife, who married Hall after his conviction for murder,  posts on this very board...campaigned vigorously for his innocence too.

At least she could see the error of her ways and isn’t campaigning for the release of another convicted violent murderer.

Does anyone know whether or not the immediate furore surrounding the Channel 5 apologia for a murderer has run its course for the time being.

There doesn't seem to be much interest outwith the pages of internet boards such as this one. 

I think the two money grubbing exercises both of which were closed down, may have given people pause for thought.

It was a two day wonder. I think a lot of people now realised they were misled but fortunately they got their money back.

One would have thought that a highly educated individual like Sandra Lean would have known better but it seems not, the GoFundMe account in particular was based on an opinion relating to the Scottish justice system. The words wise fool or sophomore come to mind.

Isn’t there meant to be a street protest in Scotland somewhere, sometime?

Was cancelled the minute the fund was taken down.

Many people, apart from Sandra Lean, thought Simon Hall was innocent.

Perhaps she has this time. After all, she has spent more time investigating the Mitchell case than any of the others.

Many people, apart from Sandra Lean, thought Simon Hall was innocent.

How many were as qualified as Ms Lean was to know better?

Many people apart from Sandra Lean think Luke Mitchell is innocent.  It doesn’t mean they are right.

Nor does it mean they are wrong.

Yes she has hasn't she.  Almost to the point of obsession as far as I can see and I think perhaps for all concerned including herself, it might have been better had she not bothered.

Not forgetting the innocent people she promoted on various platforms as having committed the crime carried out against Jodi including I believe, members of Jodi's family. 
All of whom have had to relive the evil ending of her life without being granted the grace of being left in peace to grieve as Sandra Lean indulges her passion for trying to have convicted murderers released into the community because she apparently knows more than judges and juries.

Sometimes, judges and juries get it wrong.  Remember the Guildford Four?  Remember the Birmingham Six?  Remember Timothy Evans?

We all feel very sad for families of victims, of course we do, but if there is any chance that there has been a MOJ, it is, IMO, right that this should be investigated.

Surely, the family would want the right person locked up for Jodi's murder.

Many people wished to help Corrine back on her feet. Sandra set up a mechanism to facilitate this. To her credit Corrine wouldn't take the money and wanted it to go into a fund for Luke. This was against gofundme’s policy as Luke is a convicted prisoner.

At the time the fundraiser was set up Sandra couldn’t have known that Corrine would want the money to go to Luke.

The fund was not set up for Luke and therefore had nothing to do with the Scottish justice system.

Was cancelled the minute the fund was taken down.

It’s happening in May.

I’ll post details if you’d like to attend.
