Where do you get all your facts from, Parky?
Just interested to know, since I don't know of anyone other than SL who has researched the case in detail.
Surprised somewhat at the question as most comes from the book, from Lean over time where the logs etc are concerned. As stated repeatedly around the search trio - It has always been that they arrived at that the V, not a foot past it. And not from the first account onwards has it been different. It was only ever Mitchell who stated they did. And I have discussed this directly with SL, and her proof as always is around the dog. Of Kelly and the "dogs head being level with the V" - That is not proof of Mitchells account or actions, not even close to it. And it is an accumulation of events not just a dog at the V.
And my repetition of being easily led and blind faith stands - You, nor anyone else have ever been shown any proof of those changes, that come close to agreeing with Mitchell and changing their minds. The evidence led, the reason for that wall and the jury being taken to RDP, was to show them one thing clearly. That Mitchel and his dog did not go past the V. That he turned immediately to his left when he went over. That he had barely had time to walk ten steps when he shouted out. That he did not, when Kelly or AW go over, even walk around 10 steps to show them. That he did describe what was impossible to do. Kelly had to walk around 20 feet to see.
And it has always been the case, that these areas of statements, in sequence could always have been shown, to back up these nonsense claims of agreeing with Mitchell. They have not been and will not be shown, for they do not. The only thing DF could do at trial, was attempt the same where the dog was concerned. What he did not do and could not do, was take anyone of that search party, passed the V. He was furious at the evidence of the map Mitchell drew to the FLO.
So it was never about the dog, or Kelly forgetting (claimed) that it was standing at the V. It was always about Mitchells claims of going past that V. with his dog, THEN the dog reacting. It did not happen. There was nothing other than special knowledge for his actions. Every one of them.
And that time line can not be changed - that clear sequence of phone logs which back up the statements. And Mitchel in less than 10mins was ready and on that path in comparison to the search trio. 35mins it took to get ready and be on that path. And they did arrive at the junctions until around 11.20pm and they did see Mitchel and they walked to meet with him, in the top half of that path. And the time was approx 11.23 when they set off down together. I will work backwards here for you:
11.34pm call to 999, and AW and JaJ can be heard screaming in that call. It was made whilst AW was with her granddaughter. Work those 40ft or so back to the V, to being helped over. To Kelly and his 20ft and back and it brings you to Mitchell and just after 11.30 when he went over and walked his ten ft or so inline with JaJ and Kelly. And we work back our 6-7 mins from here to that meet and start of the walk down at around 11.23pm. And back from this to the search trio leaving AW's after that call at 11.03pm. To JF saying it was "around 11pm" he saw them leaving. YW stayed in a top flat overlooking, down the St to her Grandmothers house.
The pages of waffle set to confuse are for just that reason - to deflect away from Mitchell. The total time for walking the full length of RDP was timed at just over 11mins. He was on that path twice that time, by is own claims. And he was prepped and ready for the off. Ms Lean claims he "grabbed the torch and dog and left" - Not what Mitchell said though, is it? And not what Lean has shown before on forums. That he went upstairs and asked his brother for the torch, that SM came down and located said torch, the debate with his mother, then left.
So the waffle - not one bit of it makes any difference to Mitchells actions and to what took place from 10.38pm. And there is not one single piece of evidence other that waffle to put that search trio, anywhere other than AW's at 11.03pm. There is no multiple IF's around if they had arrived this time or that time - they arrived at that path when they did. It is Mitchell that does not fit into any rational. Plain and simple, attempting to tie him in with the search trio, does not work. You can not change the evidence.
So I studied the book, the forums - was part and still part of a group, two of whom attended the trial. The one area I studied was reason as to why suspicion fell upon Mitchell. - there was no tunnel vision.
