The facts are the police had a knife taken in an early search, then found a pouch without a knife months later, and Luke Mitchell’s lawyer handed the second knife into the police. When he was later questioned, he mentioned she had a distinctive hair clasp which was not readily visible on Jodi’s body and his description of her clothing implied he had seen her much later than just at school as he had claimed.

Over the next 19 years, Scott pursued every avenue, spending thousands of hours studying case papers, speaking to local people, investigating leads ... becoming a lawyer along the way. Here, he highlights areas the police did not even consider, because of their single-minded determination to make a murderer out of a schoolboy. Local people, local sub cultures, local practices, hidden from the authorities and most of the general population, that provided the exact circumstances in which a murder like this could occur. He claimed the time of night he was there was when it was “grey dark”. For the last eighteen years, criminologist, Dr Sandra Lean, has examined the light on the 30th of June and timed what time “grey dark” happens. The average time is 10:30 p.m. Alice Walker said when she was on Roan’s Dyke Path, after 11 p.m., they didn’t always have the torches on as it was light. This was nothing more than trash and spin to keep up the creation of ‘pantomime villains’ of the Mitchell family and to con the public, while disrespecting a murder victim. He was questioned as a suspect for perverting the course of justice, charges were later dropped. His evidence was permitted in court by the trial judge, Nimmo Smith, as the charges had been dropped and the Crown claimed he was questioned as a witness and not an accused. Otherwise, the evidence obtained through the questioning on 14th April 2004 would have been inadmissible in court. The impact of COVID-19 on social welfare legal advice organisations led to a group of independent funders working in partnership with representative bodies to form an alliance for social justice by creating the Community Justice Fund (CJF). ATJF, as one of the funders, was tasked with hosting and distributing this vital funding which distributed substantial sums to several Scottish charities adversely affected by the pandemic. For more information about the CJF and other campaigns, including a list of charities who have received funding, see atjf.org.uk/community-justice-fund-grantsThe only direct DNA link to Jodi Jones was sperm, belonging to Stephen Kelly, found on Jodi’s T-shirt. Stephen was Jodi’s sister’s boyfriend and a member of the search party. Kelly was permitted by police to go home without his clothes being taken for forensic examination after Jodi’s body was found. These clothes were later washed by Alice Walker. In an interview with a journalist the word “scrunchie” was written down and, in giving evidence, the journalist said that would not be a word he would use to describe a hair clasp so Luke Mitchell must have used that word. Alice Walker, a woman who had impeded the police investigation from the very beginning, came out and condemned that polygraph test saying, “it doesn’t prove anything, he is a lying cheating murderer.” When he eventually found out it wasn’t Luke following Jodi, he (like a deluded Hitler in his bunker, or like a boxer still swinging punches even though he’s brain dead but still can’t stop) eventually came to the conclusion…THE JIG IS UP. Alice Walker approached Jodi’s body after both Luke Mitchell and Stephen Kelly had been over the wall. It was originally claimed Mrs Walker “cradled” Jodi’s body, although this later changed to “touched her forehead”. If Mrs Walker moved Jodi’s head, it’s impossible to say what Luke Mitchell might have seen – the crime scene photos were taken after three of the four searchers went over the wall.

I heard criticism that Luke Mitchell had in some way “conned the test” because he took it while his eyes were closed as he answered the questions. Shotts’ prison agent rooms, where the test was conducted, have glass partitions which people can look through while you’re visiting. The last time I had a visit with Luke Mitchell in 2010, the late Martin Hamilton, a Glasgow gangster, was in the next booth and kept looking into where we were meeting. This was very off-putting. When Luke Mitchell took the polygraph test, prison officers were looking in and trying to distract him, so Terry Mullins advised him to close his eyes. The report was significant regarding the “sexual element of the crime.” Professor Anthony Busuttil described Jodi’s murder: “a sexually motivated homicide of a young woman.” For reasons only known to themselves the police never interviewed either myself or Kareen's counsellor whom she was seeing regarding unresolved issues from her childhood and also the difficulties she was experiencing within her own relationship with Billy. She told her counsellor everything. Psychopathic Killer Simon Hall’s extremely cold, inconsiderate and manipulative side wasn’t called out a single time

Anyone reading this with any knowledge of criminal justice, forensics, or DNA evidence, would laugh at the above statement had the case not been so serious. This is media spin.

The truth is Luke Mitchell, the supposed criminal master mind who was able to commit a gruesome murder and not leave a thread of forensic evidence behind, didn’t really have an alibi. Shane Mitchell was so nonchalant in his first statement about Luke he said he wasn’t sure if Luke was in the house or not. Many - including senior police officers and Jodi’s family - are angry that the TV documentary failed to point out key facts. A couple of days after Jodi was killed, Mark “Bill” Bryson was in the home of Judith Jones and Alan Ovens speaking about the murder and Luke Mitchell. We now have three members of the Jones family who everyone, apart from the police it would seem, believed they could be seen as potential murderers or at least suspects. All three had now refused to “search their conscience” and come forward to help police after appeals had been made. It was quite comical during the interrogation when the police, while showing him a picture of the knife, asked Luke Mitchell, “is that your knife.” Luke responded, “yes, that’s my fishing knife.” Police asked, “where is it? Luke – “I don’t know, you’s have got it, you took photos of it.” Here were police officers with police photographs of a knife that was in their possession asking a boy where it was.Several people were questioned extensively by police and ruled out including most of the people mentioned in the documentary. Any other murder case, with a person’s sperm being found on the deceased clothes, would make that person a ‘suspect’ or at least a person of interest. Not in this case. Stephen Kelly could not explain how his sperm was on Jodi’s T-shirt, so the police gave him the explanation that was required. Jodi must have borrowed her sister’s T-shirt, and the ‘investigation’ into Stephen Kelly was concluded. The problem with that theory is that Janine and Jodi lived in different houses and she would not have had access to the t-shirt. Here we are again with yet another legal team from those who cry wolf, how many now since 2018 alone? Like the dam fire in the garden, it was then it wasn't then it was then it wasn't ------- Bob Smyth, a brave man with integrity, wrote in the Mail on Sunday, “She was telling the truth. At long last a positive story about the case and someone not afraid to speak the truth. Maybe more importantly, Jodi Jones’ injuries were as similar to that of wildlife crimes and the mutilation of animals, which wildlife police officers find regularly. They were more in common with the injuries of mutilated deer than that of Elizabeth Short.

These dangerous innocence fraud killers/people are supported and enabled by lots of ‘dangerous’ individuals inside prison also The inscription on the pouch, JJ 1989-2003, represented Jodi’s birth and death years and were alongside Jodi’s favourite quote, “The finest day I ever had was when tomorrow never came”, by Kurt Cobain. The same quote was on a card left at Jodi’s grave, along with flowers, by Luke Mitchell.Rosemary Walsh and Lorraine Fleming believe they saw someone very similar to Luke Mitchell at approximately 5:45 p.m. at Newbattle Road, a fifteen minute walk from the alleged sighting of Luke Mitchell by Ms Bryson.
