"Innocents Betrayed " by Sandra Lean

[Nicholas]

That would be sick and sincerely doubt Luke Mitchell approves.

Are you for real?

He’s a sick, twisted, dangerous psychopath who committed the most horrific murder - just shy of 15 years of age

[Nicholas]

As you and many others know, she has a long history of playing the victim.

My advice to those that are drawn in by these pity ploys. Step back and observe. Don't get pulled into the rabbit hole.

I suspect your advice will fall on deaf ears - the “researchers” who don’t “research” know best

[Rusty]

I note someone posting under 'Nicholas', mentions:

"It’s a shame James Easten doesn’t appear to have the wherewithal to advise his family member/s to do the same".

Hey, that's almost my name.

Good job it isn't. How deplorable that would be, to see  an arguable, cult like following, descend into such desperation, they have zero hesitation in posting personal diatribe, intended to cause family distress.

That would be sick and sincerely doubt Luke Mitchell approves.

Especially so, if one of the family happened to be acquainted with Luke and a passionately staunch supporter.

A new low.

Why would anyone stoop to these depths in public and notably, entirely undermine what Sandra Lean has just posted on her Facebook page:

"While all the hatreds rage and so many say, that love is all but pointless, in a madness such as this ..."

We say, NO".

Unless you merely highlight that new evidence has come to light, in the form of actual trial transcripts, case documentation....

Then, seemingly, you become the anathema of a belief 
system and resultant, vile enemy....

Rock bottom.

Pathetic...

Flying monkey alert.

James Easton
Thank you for this intriguing research
Is there actually any reported sighting of Luke Mitchell, wearing clothes with suspicious bloodstains?

His emtire comment is completely deluded

[Chris_Halkides]

The Scottish Daily Record reported, "Mr Kelly tells the court: 'I thought somebody had somebody in headlock. It was a strangling sort of sound - a human.' In his later evidence he adds: 'I thought it was two ladies fighting. 'It was a human sound, a restriction. It sounded like a gargling restriction of somebody's throat.'"

However Richard Gray reported, "Mr Findlay asked Mr Kelly about statements he gave to police shortly after Jodi's murder. He said: "You said 'There was a strange noise behind the wall. I cannot describe the noise. It wasn't a voice. It sounded like movement - like branches moving on a tree.'" The BBC reported, "Under cross-examination, it emerged that he had described the sound differently in a statement to police at the time."

In an article in a law journal Professor Simon discussed synthesized testimony, much of which is, no doubt, offered sincerely.

At last some sanity to the proceedings.

[Mr Apples]

At last some sanity to the proceedings.

For once, I agree with you. The forum has been in a state of regression for quite some time now. What was once a platform where healthy discussion was the norm, is now a haven for mediocrity and trolls with something to prove, to unleash cringeworthy and insipid turgid ramblings. Something's a little off, and the forum needs fixing.

Chris, whilst I don't agree with most of his views on this case, at least brings a sense of equilibrium to the debate.

How to Recognize a Cult

Sometimes individuals disagree about whether a group, such as a certain religious group, is actually a cult.
Most people can agree that cults have a leader. And the leader (or group of people who serve as leaders) is responsible for the rules that guide the members. According to the Cult Education Institute, there are specific warning signs to look out for when considering whether a group might be a cult.

Cults are characterized by:

    Absolute authoritarianism without accountability
    Zero tolerance for criticism or questions
    Lack of meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget
    Unreasonable fears about the outside world that often involve evil conspiracies and persecutions
    A belief that former followers are always wrong for leaving and there is never a legitimate reason for anyone     
    else to leave.
    Abuse of members
    Records, books, articles, or programs documenting the abuses of the leader or group
    Followers feeling they are never able to be “good enough”
    A belief that the leader is right at all times
    A belief that the leader is the exclusive means of knowing “truth” or giving validation[/li][/list]

Cults are dangerous because they typically rely on deceptive and authoritarian practices to make members dependent on and obedient to the group. Cults often cut members off from other forms of social and financial support and pose both physical and psychological risks to members of the group.
(Cult Education Institute)

It’s all there

This describes the cult-like “wrongful conviction” movement as a whole

What has scammer Sandra Lean done with all the profits from her second innocence fraud book which she states on page  378 of her book are being “donated” to a “mew organisation” that does not exist?

She stated she would be paying taxes on the profits from this book in one of her videos and set up “innocents betrayed ltd”

Guess what happened to “innocents betrayed ltd”

Yet another compulsory strike off

NGU books - did anyone ever find out anything about NGU books?

[Nicholas]

I think even by the time SM was called as a witness, DF knew the game was up.

I suspect Donald Findlay “knew the game was up” by the time the police officers gave their testimony regarding killer Luke Mitchell’s 22 page written witness statement, which he made at Dalkeith police station in the early hours of the 1st July 2003 - whilst Corinne Mitchell sat next to him

One police officer read out the entire statement to the jury

There were other police officers who also gave evidence during the trial regarding killer Luke Mitchell’s police interview recordings - in which they demonstrated his shallow effect

[Nicholas]

I think even by the time SM was called as a witness, DF knew the game was up. SM's testimony, and AT's utter dismantling of it, was in all likelihood the moment that sealed LM's fate; it was the prosecution's metaphorical cherry on top.

I thought both lawyers were top notch but I do think some of the jury members would have seen through Donald Findlay’s gaslighting tactics when he cross examined Shane Mitchell

Shane Mitchell didn’t appear perturbed by this behaviour - did he?

[Nicholas]

The fact that all of LM's subsequent appeals have failed is testament to just how watertight the prosecution's case was and how successfully, skilfully and effectively AT presented it. Still, I'd like to see the context in which SM, during his 6-hour police interview on the morning of 14.04.04, answered police: "He couldnae have been in if people have seen him."

Donald Findlay mentioned Andrina Bryson after the jury has been sent out

[Nicholas]

Unless you merely highlight that new evidence has come to light, in the form of actual trial transcripts, case documentation....

Have you or your family members been to prison James Easton?

[Nicholas]

Are you referring to the timeline put together by John, which James Easton has reproduced on his new Facebook group?

James Easton - John was a police officer and he put that timeline together from material given to him by scammer Sandra Lean, Corinne Mitchell and media articles

John posted on the WAP forum until I think he was also banned by baby killer Billy Middleton

The times most definitely changed - that timeline was and is awful

John started to recognise fairly quickly that Corinne Mitchell and Sandra Lean were lying - probably his former police officers ‘hunch’

Here is the May 2010 timeline former policeman John put together based on what he was told by scammers Corinne Mitchell, Sandra Lean and un-convicted baby killer Billy Middleton and possibly what he gleaned from media articles around the time(?)

John had also visited the area back in 2009 and had taken in a series of photographs - including the one of the wooden gate on Newbattle road where Lorraine Fleming amd Rosemary Walsh saw killer Luke Mitchell

Timeline of Events

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)
4.39pm (approx) Judy plays a Rod Stewart track which lasts more than 5 minutes to Jodi and Joseph, leaving just 4 minutes for Jodi to get ready and leave in order for Bryson to have spotted her at 4.48
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. It is believed (although not confirmed) that he picked up the bike from [Name removed]s garden and drove along Lady path which runs at right angles to Roans Dyke, before cutting through the woods to meet [Name removed].
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.
5.00pm Two youths on the moped are chased from the tool hire premises at Newbattle, and head towards the Newbattle entrance to the path
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
5.05pm The youths are seen re-starting the bike, which has cut out, at the entrance to the path
5.07pm Corinne captured on CCTV in the local shop on her way home from work
5.15pm Corinne arrives home from work.
5.15pm Jodi is believed to have been murdered at this time
5.15pm The moped is propped against the wall at the V, but the riders are nowhere to be seen
5.30pm Luke leaves the house and walks to the end of the street
5.32pm Luke calls Jodis house, but the line is engaged
5.40pm Luke calls the house again this time Alan Ovens answers. He says he
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, and the entrance to the path (although none of them claims to have seen him at the entrance itself.) Luke says he wandered up the street a little way to Barondale Cottages, which is approximately halfway between the end of his street and the entrance to the path, to see if he could see Jodi coming. He told the police this before these witnesses came forward.
6.50-6.55pm Luke phones some male friends to see what they are doing, as Jodi still hasnt shown
7pm Luke phones his mother to tell her if Jodi comes to the house, he is in The Abbey, and to tell Jodi to come there.
9pm After hanging around the abbey for a couple of hours, the boys head for home. Luke goes up to his room and puts on a video of Red dwarf.
10.30pm Luke takes the dog for her last walk of the evening.
10.39pm Judy sends a text to Lukes phone, Right Toad, say goodnight toLuke. Thats you grounded for another week.
10.40pm Luke phones Judy to say he hasnt seen Jodi all night. Judy says she will call round Jodis friends. Luke returns to the house and tells his mother what Judy has said.
10.49pm Judy calls back to say Jodi is nowhere to be found, and she is calling the police. Luke says he will go up the path to look for Jodi, and if he doesnt find her, he will make his way to Judys house to decide what to do next. (This story was later changed to claim that Luke had agreed to meet the other members of the search party at the path.)
10.51pm Luke leaves the house with a torch and the dog. It is still light, but beginning to get dark the sky is blue rather than black)
11.03 11.05pm Luke sees people at the Easthouses end of the path. They do not come towards him, but wait for him to approach. It is the family search party.
11.06pm A call is answered on the landline in Alice Walkers house. The family search party claim they left after this call was taken. If the plan had been for Luke to leave immediately (at 10.49pm) to meet the other members of the search party, why did Judy wait until 6 minutes past 11, a full 15 minutes, before calling them to tell them of this arrangement?
And how did they manage to be at the top of the path before this time?
11.10 11.25pm The search party go back down the path, and find the body.
00.00 Luke is taken to Dalkeith Police station, stripped, medically examined, and samples taken for forensic analysis, then a statement is taken, the whole process lasting until 7am.
00.00-00.15 Forensics officer arrives at the scene, but cannot climb over the wall, so leaves. The body is uncovered.
03.00am Craig Dobbie becomes SIO
4.00am-4.30am The family search party is in Judys house, the police begin to take their statements (more than 4 hours after Luke is taken in, and after they have had the opportunity to speak to other members of the family. Their clothes are not taken for forensic examination, neither are they examined, or have samples taken.)
05.00-05.30 Police photographer/videographer records the scene. Overhanging branches have been cut down to make it easier for him to take pictures. During this time, Dobbie has spoken to the pathologist it appears he took the pathologist to the scene, although this is not absolutely clear from the records, and he was never asked directly. The body is still uncovered.
00.00-08.00am Sometime during this 8 hour period, the body was moved, rolled onto a plastic sheet, and items around it gathered up. There is no record of when this was done, or by whom. The body was left uncovered in the rain for the whole of this period.

A condom, leaking fresh semen, was found yards from the body in the early hours of July 1st. It is known, with absolute certainty, that the person who filled this condom did so behind the wall, close to where Jodi's body was found, on the evening of June 30th, and that when he was finally traced, some three years later, the statement he gave to police was demonstrably untrue. He was never investigated for this murder.
