Channel 5 aired a documentary over 2 nights questioning whether the real killer of teenager Jodi Jones was brought to justice.
(For anyone not familiar with the case, Jodi was brutally murdered in woods near Midlothian in Scotland 18 years ago and her boyfriend Luke Mitchell who was 14 at the time of the murder was convicted for the crime) I thought we could have a thread in here for anyone that watched to discuss their thoughts on this case. When this happened all those years ago I immediately thought wow guilty right off the bat, evil little **** etc etc, I'm not saying I now believe 100% he is innocent or guilty but after watching the documentary and seeing how he was mistreated at 14 years old, lack of evidence, no DNA evidence tying Luke to murder at all, behaviour from the police and of course how the vultures in the media had him painted as guilty straight from the off (why on earth where they even allowed to print a 14 year olds name :/ ) I do think there was no way it could have been a fair trial with a jury finding him guilty without any reasonable doubt and that he deserves at the very least a retrial.

Thanks for the link Ammi. That's so weird actually I was on FB about a half hour ago and I saw Lee talking about this case, I hadn't heard of it so I googled a bit about it. Where can you watch the Documentary Josy/Ammi?

Looks like they had take down the second episodes because they named other suspects?

Shame, I do feel there was an element that Luke didn’t fit social norms in his arrest That there was no DNA evidence to link him to the crime is strange to say the least

They took down episode 2 because Jodis brothers name showed up on the suspect list on screen for a few seconds
It can still be watched on YouTube though |

I'm not really sure of the reasons for him being institutionalized obviously theres a lot of rumours flying around online from people that live in the area and know all involved but we all know what gossip can be like lol
I think ch5 are removing that small part then putting the second part back on. I think due to the way he was treated by the police and media at the time, given his age aswell as the circumstantial evidence and other suspects not being followed up etc the at the very least Luke should get a retrial. |

...yeah, it’s quite amazing that he could have been given a sentence of a minimum of 20yrs to be served with only circumstantial evidence...that’s actually pretty terrifying, when you think...

He could have potentially been out by now if he admitted guilt but said he wont ever admit to it as he never done it. I'm actually so undecided but would like to know the true person had been put away for it because Jodi deserves justice especially with how horrific a crime it was. |

...it’s also difficult because if Luke did kill her...everyone would have felt, really..?...only twenty years and he’ll still have so much life to live when he’s released ...

I'm saying this in general of course because I haven't watched the documentary and I don't know anything about the case. I will try to find it on youtube though
