Channel Five documentary - "Murder in a Small Town"

[mrswah]

I'd say it's relevant. Luke became the man of the home and his mother no longer had control or authority over him. Without a father figure there he was allowed to smoke, take drugs and pretty much do as he pleased. He could tell his mother to break the law for him when buying him knives below the legal age and also lying about his age to get a tattoo. All very relevant to the case. Corinne told Samantha Polling she "doesn't know" what she would do if Luke came home covered in blood and asked for her help, and that she'd have to be in that position to know if she could. She wouldn't deny on camera that she would help her son cover up the murder of a 14 year old girl.  \
Family background and the dynamics of the Mitchell household is important when trying to figure out how this could have happened.

Luke became the man of the house?  Not Shane, who was seven years older?

I’m sorry but you don’t read a book and suddenly become a psychologist. I’m sure the book simply confirmed your bias.

Bias?

Not all males go onto murder their partners

Which suggests he was already displaying control issues

[Vertigo Swirl]

Faithlilly, it’s quite astonishing how defensive you have become about Luke Mitchell in such a short space of time.  Are you absolutely certain he is innocent, or are you simply supporting him out of loyalty to your friend?

What did the eminent  psychologist who was called to the court to explain what impact the family dynamic had on Luke say?

Last Child Sydrome

Do we know if Luke regularly bought Kerrang? Did he buy it this time because of the DVD? I know I wouldn't want to view anything graphic or violent after what happened. Then again, I'd never want to see another knife either but the murder of his girlfriend using a knife did nothing to reduce his knife fascination. Writing RIP Jodi on a knife sheath in these circumstances isn't normal and you know it. And why "666" in the tribute?

The 666? Possibly predated the other words?

And no we don’t know if Luke bought Kerrang regularly so another dead end.

You believe Luke perpetrated the crime so look for evidence to support that belief...it’s called confirmation bias.

Last Child Sydrome

What is "Last Child Syndrome" ?  Do you mean Luke , in your opinion, was spoilt?

Is there a reason why the TV show didn’t refer to secondary DNA transfer aka innocent transfer or contamination?

[Nicholas]

Someone else saying sexual assault.

Just horrible.

Seemingly not

Aye, I saw that - hopefully everyone involved is ok.
