"Innocents Betrayed " by Sandra Lean

”Jodi’s mother, brother Joseph, 20, and sister Janine, 17, were being comforted by friends and relatives at the semi-detached family home. The 14-year-old was close to her extended family, particularly her grandmother, who the whole family moved in with for a short time about eight years. Jodi continued to regularly visit her grandmother, who lives near the rest of the family, sometimes spending weekends with her.

as she did on the weekend of the 28th/29th June

How many of Jodi Jones teachers/classmates did the police speak to and what were the arrangements regarding this evidence?

“One 40-year-old, who did not want to be named, said: "This has come as a horrific shock to everyone who lives in the area.

"I saw Jodi on her way back from school on Monday afternoon and she walked past my house looking like she didn’t have a care in the world

“She was a very friendly girl from a very nice family. She was always at school. I always saw her getting on and off the school bus.

“She seemed very popular. There were always friends of hers calling at the house. She was like any other teenager, she had started dying her hair different colours such as red and purple, and experimenting with clothes. She had a Goth style and so did her boyfriend, who she was with a lot.

Why did [moderated] Sandra Lean choose to label Andrina Bryson as a ‘star witness’ and not someone like Carol Heatlie?

“Scottish Executive employee Carol Heatlie tells the court a youth caught her eye as she drove down Newbattle Road.
She says she saw a male standing at a driveway entrance 'looking up and down the road I was travelling on'.
And she explains that once the witness spotted him, the youth stepped away from the road.
She says: 'The fact he had stepped back out of view made me wonder what he was doing. I slowed right down at the entrance to the driveway and looked into the driveway. I am sure he saw me looking at him and kind of put his head down to the side.'
She describes the young man as between 15 and 17, with dirty-blond, fairly long hair and wearing dark, baggy clothes in a 'grungy' style. Asked whether she recognises the young man in court, Mrs Heatlie looks at Mitchell and says he was 'similar'.

“Mr Holburn, 18, a photography student, told the court he and his friends were cycling on Newbattle Road towards the Jewel and Esk College in the evening of Monday June 30.

He said they saw Mr Mitchell standing at an entrance to a driveway before Newbattle Abbey Crescent, where the accused lived. He said they would have cycled past at about 5.55pm or 6pm.

The witness said he saw a young man, whom he did not recognise, standing at a break in a wall. Mr Holburn asked his friends, who attend St David's High School in Dalkeith, who the young man was.

''What was the answer?'' he was asked in court. ''Luke Mitchell,'' the witness replied.

Almost two in every five Traveller marriages are between cousins
“What it actually means is marrying one's first or second cousins. Up to 40 per cent of all marriages involving Travellers are between first cousins, and the Traveller Consanguinity Working Group clearly does not intend doing anything to bring the total down. "It is unrealistic to try to radically change their marriage behaviour,"

In terms of relationships, let me try to make it a bit clearer. JoF's mum got together with JuJ's brother - they had a daughter (YW) between them. That means YW is JuJ's niece and Jodi's full cousin (JuJ's brother's daughter, or Jodi's uncle's daughter). Because of that relationship, JuJ's brother is now JoF's step father and YW is JoF's half sister. That's how he came to be considered Jodi's "cousin."
Now, let's move back to JoF's mum. She had a sister, who is GD's mum. Therefore, GD and JoF are full cousins - their mums are sisters. So JoF is a full cousin to GD and a "step cousin" to Jodi (his half sister, YW, being a full cousin to Jodi). Hope that helps!

Will Sandra Lean be publishing a family tree to include Tam (Thomas) and Carrie Walker?

Andrew Holborn wasn’t a friend of killer Luke Mitchell - he was 18 years of age and didn’t know killer Luke

Yet fraudster Sandra Lean claimed in her 1st discredited book No Smoke (http://theerrorsthatplaguethemiscarriageofjusticemovement.home.blog/2023/02/08/copy-of-chapter-from-sandra-leans-1st-discredited-smoke-mirrors-book-promoting-the-innocence-fraud-phenomenon-of-actually-factually-guilty-killer-luke-mitchell/)

“Luke was positively identified, by some schoolboys who knew him, sitting on a wall at the end of his street in Newbattle, at approximately 5.45pm, and again some 10 minutes later.

Who witnessed killer Luke Mitchell ‘sitting on a wall at the end of his street’?

Sandra Lean
Luke's next door neighbour told police that he saw Luke out on the street, heading for his house at "about 10 o'clock or a little after." I've never quite worked out where the police were trying to go with this - I think it was in some way trying to frame an opportunity for Luke to have disposed of the weapon or clothing.

Here are the known facts - Luke returned home at 9.30pm (based on testimony from the other boys he was hanging around with that night.) He took Mia out for her last walk at around 10.20 - 10.30 - it was during this walk that he received JuJ's text intended for Jodi.

If we insert neighbour's sighting into that, the prosecution case is that Luke, having escaped unnoticed, cleaned up and been identified sitting, perfectly normal,  on a wall at the end of his street by 5.45pm, messed around in the woods with his mates, returned home, went out again to be seen returning half an hour later (having disposed of the weapon - the clothing part was dropped when they decided Corinne had burned it in the garden), went out again 20 - 30 minutes later to take the dog for a walk.
 

The evidence was that killer Luke Mitchell was STANDING and Carole Heatle stated
👇

“Scottish Executive employee Carol Heatlie tells the court a youth caught her eye as she drove down Newbattle Road.
She says she saw a male standing at a driveway entrance 'looking up and down the road I was travelling on'.
And she explains that once the witness spotted him, the youth stepped away from the road.
She says: 'The fact he had stepped back out of view made me wonder what he was doing. I slowed right down at the entrance to the driveway and looked into the driveway. I am sure he saw me looking at him and kind of put his head down to the side.'
She describes the young man as between 15 and 17, with dirty-blond, fairly long hair and wearing dark, baggy clothes in a 'grungy' style. Asked whether she recognises the young man in court, Mrs Heatlie looks at Mitchell and says he was 'similar'.

Who witnessed killer Luke Mitchell ‘sitting on a wall at the end of his street’?

“A YOUTH who looked like murder accused Luke Mitchell stepped out of view when he saw an approaching motorist, a court heard yesterday.
Carol Heatlie slowed down to look at the youngster who withdrew into a driveway.
The incident happened on June 30 last year, near where Jodi Jones, 14, was allegedly murdered by Mitchell.
Ms Heatlie, 46, a human resources manager, said she was driving along Newbattle Road in Dalkeith, Midlothian, at about 6.05pm.
The High Court in Edinburgh has already heard that Roan's Dyke path - the area where Jodi's mutilated body was found - runs off the road.
Ms Heatlie said she first saw the youth at the driveway which is close to the entrance to Mitchell's home in Newbattle Abbey Crescent.
She said: 'He was standing on the pavement and down the road.When he saw my car, he quickly stepped back into the driveway out of my view.
'The fact he stepped back made me wonder what he was doing. I slowed down and watched what he was doing and looked into the driveway.
'I am sure he saw me looking at him and kind of held his head down to the side.

Timeline Monday June 30th 2003.

4.05pm Jodi returns home from school
4.34 4.38pm Series of texts between Lukes phone and Judys phone (Jodis phone was broken, so Jodi borrowed her mothers)

4.48-4.54pm Andrina Bryson sees a girl and a youth on the entrance to the path
4.50-4.55pm [Name removed] leaves on the motorbike to meet [Name removed] at 5pm.

4.55pm Luke phones his mothers work and speaks to his grandmother
4.58pm 5.10 (approx) Shane is on the internet, so the home landline is engaged.

5.03pm Luke phones the speaking clock from his mobile
5.03 5.05pm Mystery man is spotted by 2 witnesses following Jodi on the street, on her way to the path. (Spot the obvious mistake according to the Bryson sighting, she was already on the path some 9 minutes earlier) Bryson did not see the mystery man
5.03-5.15pm Somewhere in this time window, the young mum was seen walking up the same street. She saw nothing.
5.03 5.15pm A cyclist travelling up the path from the Newbattle end hears a strangling sound behind the wall. He does not see the boys on the moped, or the mystery man, or Jodi

told Luke Jodi had left to meet him. Luke doesnt remember exactly what was said.
5.40pm Judy and Alan leave the house to go to the cemetery immediately
following the phone call from Luke (therefore Joseph now has no alibi)
5.45 5.50 Three schoolboys see Luke sitting on a wall at the end of his street (they passed him twice, as one of them got a puncture in his bike tyre, and they had to double back.)
5.50 6.05 6 witnesses say they saw a youth hanging around on the Newbattle Road, between the end of Lukes street, .

The witnesses evidence was NOT that killer Luke Mitchell was at the end of his street Sandra Lean - Carole Heatle saw killer Luke Mitchell around the same time and place as Andrew Holburn, Grant Elliot and Dean Houston

On the phone to David High asking that he meet killer Luke Mitchell at his house

The witnesses evidence was NOT that killer Luke Mitchell was at the end of his street Sandra Lean - Carole Heatle saw killer Luke Mitchell around the same time and place as Andrew Holburn, Grant Elliot and Dean Houston

“THREE teenage pals tell the court they spotted Mitchell on a road which passes the entrance to the path where Jodi died.

Andrew Holburn, Dean Houston and Grant Elliot all say they saw him after Jodi is said to have left her home.

Another witness says she saw a youth who looked like Mitchell stepping out of view when she approached in her car.

School pal David High, 16, says that Mitchell called him at about 6.30pm on June 30 last year and invited him round.



Which one of these three teenagers had a puncture on their bike?
