Excerpt from Sandra Lean’s 1st discredited book No Smoke
”The tattoo evidence, led to prove the dishonesty of Corrine Mitchell, was not revealed to the defence prior to being led in court. Further, this evidence raised serious questions as to the honesty of the people testifying – they had no corroborating evidence (such as the birth certificate and photographic id they claimed to have been shown), and the name they claimed to have been given was that of a 58 year old man.
Were the Mitchell’s involved in any other frauds prior to killer Luke Mitchell’s murder
”They had led evidence during the trial which ended in January 2005 that had nothing to do with the murder of Jodi - but alleged that Mitchell was involved in another crime - fraud.
Mr Findlay said: "What this had to do with Luke and a charge of murder, in my submission, defies any rational explanation, other than the fact that the Crown just used it to have another go at Luke."
