Excerpt from Sandra Lean’s discredited book No Smoke
‘What becomes critical here is the prosecution‟s claim as to the sequence and timing of events. They would claim that Jodi left home at approximately 4.50pm, and was murdered around 5.15pm, her body being stripped and mutilated thereafter. In an attempt to pin down these timings, police video footage timed the walk from the point where Luke was identified at the end of his street to the Newbattle entrance to the path where Jodi was killed, at just over 5 minutes at a brisk walking pace. Walking the full length of the path, from end to end, at a similar pace would take an absolute minimum of 10 minutes. If, as the prosecution claimed, Luke left to meet Jodi in response to texts they‟d exchanged earlier (the last one being at 4.38pm), we have to accept that Luke was at the end of his street when these texts were exchanged, he left immediately, took a very brisk walk up the path, covering the distance in the minimum possible time, and arrived to meet Jodi with just one minute to spare within the "identification" window produced by Andrina
What if killer Luke Mitchell used his other push bike?
Sandra Lean
GD gave an account of a "yellow framed push bike" against the school railings at the junction of the paths
Sandra Lean
GD threw in the "yellow framed bike" in his account of his and JFs movements on the path that day. JuJ told the police Luke would come to the house for Jodi either on foot or on his bike.
Sandra Lean
JuJ told police Luke had told her on the phone… that he was at the Newbattle entrance to the path and was coming up on his bike
Sandra Lean
weeks later..…everyone was still under the impression that either Luke was on his bike that night, or that for some reason, he had lied to JuJ about it
What did killer Luke Mitchell’s neighbours tell police about his other bike?
