Roberta Glass of the Roberta Glass True Crime Report recently published a video called Free Psycho Killer Luke Mitchell!, which can be listened to below;
At around 55:19 of the above video scammer Sandra Lean stated;
The, the prison officer told Luke
I don’t care what the law says

Scammer Sandra Lean and convicted rapist Sean Bw Parker
However convicted rapist Sean Parker, who was referred to in Parts 235 and 236 of this ongoing blog series (which can be read by tapping on the buttons below), chose to deceptively morph the “prison officer” into the “prison Governor”;
Personally I think that’s a very justifiable place
And obviously erm is to be fought in a court
But it shouldn’t be done by a prison Governor
Saying I don’t care what the law says
That’s erm of course of interest
In the home of enlightenment in Scotland
Registered sex offender Sean Bw Parker
The above can be heard at around 58:10 of the same video (above)
Registered sex offender and convicted rapist Sean Parker, who was referred to in Parts 235 and 236 of this ongoing blog series (which can be read by tapping on the buttons above), made the following statements about innocence fraud groomer Michael Naughton of Bristol university;
Michael Naughton represented actual, factual guilty killer Simon Hall when the innocence fraud scam was exposed back in 2012/13.
In 2010 Michael Naughton told Stephanie (Hall), who was groomed and conned by killer Simon Hall, that un-convicted baby killer Billy Middleton’s not proven verdict looked dubious.
Scammer Sandra Lean
Scammer Sandra Lean referred to “Empowering the innocent” in a recent Facebook post she made, as can be seen in the below screenshot;
Sandra Lean claimed in a further Facebook post she would be “speaking with them in the coming week”;
Innocence Fraud Phenomenon Groomer Michael Naughton Aka Empowering The Innocent
Michael Naughton tweeted on registered sex offender and convicted rapist Sean Bw Parker and scammer Sandra Lean on the 1st July 2023, as can be seen by the following screenshot;
One fraudulent Scam Builds On Another
The following are excerpts from Michael Naughton’s blog (here);
Empowering the Innocent (ETI) builds on this body of work and on previous innovative projects that were established by Dr Naughton, namely Innocence Network UK (INUK) and the University of Bristol Innocence Project, reflecting on both the successes and achievements of those projects as well as the lessons learnt

It is not known if Stephanie Bon spoke to and colluded with killer Simon Hall prior to and/or following his arrest for his murder of Joan Albert before Stephanie gave her evidneve to the police – via her September 2002 witness statement.
It is also not known if Stephanie Bon spoke to and colluded with Lynne, Phil and/or Shaun Hall or others – like Jamie Barker as one example or Simon’s then girlfriend Phoebe Grant as another example, prior to and/or following Simon Hall arrest.
Security van taking convicted murderer Simon Hall to prison
However a media article stated that Stephanie Bon had attended killer Simon Hall’s trial in February 2003 and that Stephanie Bon was apparently the “first person to speak to” Simon “after he was convicted”, as can be read in the below excerpts;
Stephanie Bon became close friends with Simon Hall when they worked at a chemical company in Colchester’s East Hill.
He even taught her to drive, but they lost touch when the firm closed down.
Then, Hall was charged with the murder of pensioner Joan Albert at her home in Capel St Mary.
Stephanie attended the murder trial with Hall’s family, confident he would be cleared.
“I was the first person to speak to him after he was convicted. He was absolutely distraught
According to judge Anne Rafferty’s summing up at the end of Simon Hall’s trial, Stephanie Bon was also portrayed as “a friend” of killer Simon Hall, as opposed to his girlfriend.
Tap on the button below to read the judges summing up in full;
Stephanie Bon told the police she was Simon Hall’s girlfriend at the time of his murder of Joan Albert not merely “afriend” of Simon’s.
Again, Simon Hall told police during his first interview (following his arrest) that Stephanie Bon had been his “girlfriend” prior to Phoebe Grant (Read more on page 30 here);
Below are a few statements Stephanie Bon made to the police six weeks after Simon Hall’s arrest;
Around October 2001,Simon and I became an item.
He used to stay at my house in Colchester, regularly, as it was so much more convenient for work.
Over time he left various items at my house, so he (sic) changes of clothes and wash things.
After a few weeks of being together, Simon introduced me to his parents Lynn and Phil. Lynn was really friendly, and it was obvious she thought highly of Simon.
Phil always chatted to me too, I think they saw something quite serious in me and we all got on so well
Excerpts from Stephanie Bon’s police witness statement dated 4th September 2002
Although Stephanie Bon appeared to think Lynne and Phil Hall “saw something quite serious in” her and because they “all got on so well”, the evidence tells a different story.
Why Did Lynne, Phil & Shaun Hall Pretend Stephanie Bon Did Not Exist?
As already pointed out in previous Parts of this blog series, all of the Hall family members (Simon, Lynne, Phil and Shaun) withheld evidence from the police relating to Stephanie Bon.
Lynne, Phil and Shaun Hall all pretended in their evidence to the police that Stephanie Bon did not exist.
Lynne, Phil and Shaun Hall were all asked by the police about previous girlfriends Simon Hall had had, but Stephanie Bon’s name did not appear in any of their statements at all.
Also Simon, Lynne, Phil and Shaun Hall all attempted to give the impression via their evidence that “home” for Simon Hall in December 2001 was his adoptive parents house at 8 Snowcroft, Capel St Mary.
The evidence also tells a different story.
How Did Stephanie Bon Feel Knowing The Hall’s Had Pretended She Did Not Exist?
When Simon Hall went for his first interview with State Chemicals in Colchester in July/August 2002 whereby he was unsuccessful on that occasion, he was in a relationship with a woman called Zoe.
Simon Hall then had another interview with the same company, in which he was offered a position as a purchase ledger clerk and started working for State Chemicals on the 24th of September 2001.
Excerpts from Simon Hall’s line managers evidence read;
About a month after Simon started working there he started seeing the Managing Director’s PA Stephanie Bonn, (sic) I don’t know exactly when their relationship became more than friends but it did become apparent that it was so after a while
…Simon was made redundant and he left the company in January 2002
His relationship with Stephanie Bonn (sic) I think was very on/off
Looking back his work did start to suffer in November/December 2001 when his relationship with Stephanie Bonn started to break up
I did see some of the E-mails they were sending each other on the company systems which were really only the sort of romantic boyfriend/girlfriend type messages
Excerpts from police witness statement of Simon Hall’s line manager from State Chemicals dated 13th September 2002
Simon Hall told the police following his arrest that he met Stephanie Bon when he “was interviewed for the job at State Chemicals”, which would have been September 2001.
Simon Hall also indicated to the police that he had “just split up” with Zoe by the time he met Stephanie Bon.
Obscuring & Embellishing The Truth
By the time Simon Hall eventually started working at State Chemicals in Colchester it appeared that he had already moved back to his adoptive parents Lynne and Phil’s home in Capel St Mary, because his previous girlfriend had booted him out of her home.
Stephanie Bon, who was not called to give evidence during killet Simon Hall’s February 2003 trial, told police;
Around the end of September2001, Simon informed me that Zoe and him, had broken up.
Simon then moved back to his parents house in Snowcroft, Capel St Mary.
We were still really good friends at this time.
Excerpts from Stephanie Bon’s police witness statement dated 4th September 2002
Lynne Hall told the police:
Simon did stay last year between October and the end of December when I say stay I mean had a key to our house, it was often the case he would stay at friends houses
Excerpt from Phil Hall’s police witness statement dated 25th July 2002
It is not known why Lynne Hall chose to also lie to the police by pretending her adoptive son Simon was still in a relationship with Zoe up “until just before Christmas 2001”.
The evidence demonstrated that by October 2001, Simon Hqll was already in another relationship with Stephanie Bon.
Referring to Zoe, Lynne Hall told police;
That relationship began in March or April 2001
That relationship lasted until just before Christmas 2001, I had even bought presents for Zoe and X
Excerpts from Lynne Hall’s police witness statement dated 25th July 2002
Judge Anne Rafferty also appeared to have been under the impression that Simon Hall’s relationship with Zoe had ended by “bonfire nightish” 2001.
Again the evidence strongly suggests Simon Hall was living with Stephanie Bon “regularly” by this time.
In reality, while Stephanie Bon was being “introduced” to Simon Hall’s adoptive parents Lynne and Phil Hall, and thinking Lynne and Phil “saw something quite serious in” herbecause they “all got on so well”, Zoe and Stephanie Bon were being abused by Simon Hall and the abuse appears to have been enabled by Lynne and Phil Hall.
In early November 2001, while in a new relationship with Stephanie Bon and apparently living with her “regularly” in Colchester, Simon Hall met up with his ex girlfriend Zoe for a “bonfire night” in the village of Capel St Mary.
Lynne Hall stated;
As far as Zoe is concerned I remember they had one particularly bad argument on the Saturday night last year when the village celebrated bonfire night.
In fact just prior to that Saturday night last year they had argued and split up and Simon was living back home.
They went to the village bonfire night with me to attempt a reconciliation, the night went well and everything was OK
Simon ended up taking Zoe home and coming back by himself to our house.
After that he went round to a friends house, I can’t remember where or to who, he did get home late.
Zoe rang the following morning and because Simon was late up she got very angry about his lack of commitment
Excerpts from Lynne Hall’s police witness statement dated 25th July 2002
The “one particularly bad argument” referred to by Lynne Hall occurred in September when Simon and Zoe “split up”, not on “bonfire night”.
Lynne Hall would have no doubt known the “friendshouse” was Stephanie Bon’s.
Lynne Hall lied once again to both Zoe and the police when she stated her adoptive son Simon had been “homelate” and was “late up”.
In reality, Simon Hall did not go back to Capel St Mary and enabler Lynne Hall would not have known what time he got up the next day, because he was with his girlfriend Stephanie Bon in Colchester.
Simon Hall told the police about the night as follows;
Simon And when trying to reconcile, everything was great, she said ”OK we’ll give it a go” and then that was Fireworks Night, she came down to the little Fireworks in Capel
Dc 1023 Yes
Simon With X her son, and everything was great and then she went home and she, her mate was with her, and her mate felt a bit ill. So I, I felt a little bit ill so I decided to go home and then on the way I felt a little bit better, so I just thought I’d go out and see my mates in Colchester
Dc 1023 Ah OK. Right. Sorry to hear that. OK. When, just to go on a stage further from there really, I’m just trying to, I just want to sum up. Stephanie BON wasn’t a serious relationship, it was just what they call an ’off and on relationship’ but Zoe was almost a permanent relationship
Simon Mmm
Dc 1023 Etc and the relationship was terminated due to the fact you went off to Colchester etc and you said that you were ill and you went home, but you didn’t go home you went to Colchester, so it was..
Simon She was very paranoid
Zoe was not “paranoid”.
Zoe was in a toxic relationship with an abusive man, Simon Hall, who had an enmeshedrelationship with his toxic and abusive adoptive mother Lynne Hall.
On the day of their adoptive killer sons arrest, while he was in police custody Simon Hall stated during his 1st interview (Read more on page 30 here) that Stephanie Bon had been his girlfriend prior to Phoebe Grant;
When the police asked him about the night before his murder of Joan Albert and whether or not he planned “to come home after the evening out”, killer Simon Hall indicated to police he was “asingleman” by this point and also stated “you don’t know where you’re going to end up” (Read more on page 15 here);
Killer Simon Hall also stated;
Mum had said she wanted me back at some point because we were going out the next day
Simon Hall – 26th of July 2002
Lynne Hall told police;
Simon told me at some stage that Saturday that he was going out and would probably not be back that night
I told him to be back because we were leaving early
I wanted him home at five or six am as I wanted to make sure he was okay and dressed properly
Lynne Hall – 25th July 2002
As previously stated, the only time Lynne Hall could have seen her adoptive son Simon on that Saturday was approximately during 6.00pm-7.00pm, and Lynne Hall’s statement of wanting Simon “homeatfiveorsixam” did not, and does not, ring true.
Phil Hall told police;
I don’t know when Simon left the house or even if I saw him at all that day.
I do not know what he was wearing that day at all.
I recall that Lynne had asked Simon to make sure he was back in time to leave for Stoke Rochford
Phil Hall – 25th July 2002
Not unlike his wife Lynne Hall’s ludicrous statement of wanting Simon “home at five or six” in the morning, Phil Hall’s equally ludicrous statement of “I don’t know when Simon left the house or if I saw him at all that day” was cancelled out by the fact Phil Hall had then went on to state he recalled that his wife “Lynne had asked Simon to make sure he was back in time to leave for Stoke Rochford”.
It is not known if Simon, Lynne, Phil and Shaun Hall colluded with one another prior to Simon’s arrest regarding what they would each tell Suffolk police.
However when the Hall families evidence and various types of lies, contradictions and concoctions were, and are, viewed in there entirety, there is no getting away from the fact they were not being honest.
Simon, Lynne, Phil and Shaun Hall all behaved like they had something to hide.
Questions For Stephanie Bon
It is not known exactly when Simon Hall became “a single man” and Simon’s statement to the police does not appear to have been his girlfriend Stephanie Bon’s understanding or belief at the time.
Stephanie Bon stated around 5 weeks after killer Simon Hall’s arrest;
He used to stay at my house in Colchester, regularly, as it was so much more convenient for work.
Over time he left various items at my house, so he (sic) changes of clothes and wash things.
I would describe our relationship as generally good, we did argue occasionally, but nothing significant.
Simon was a kind and funny person and hated arguing
After a few weeks of being together, Simon introduced me to his parents Lynn and Phil. Lynn was really friendly, and it was obvious she thought highly of Simon.
Phil always chatted to me too, I think they saw something quite serious in me and we all got on so well
On Saturday the 15th of December 2001 I remember being at home in Colchester with my brother and old flat mate, Lionel *****, who lived at the house for a year.
We remained in all night and I clearly remember this time, as I was meant to be going to a family meal the following day.
On the Sunday Simon was off for a meal with relatives and asked me to go along as well.
I instantly agreed, looking forward to meeting the rest of the family but, unfortunately Simon did not get around to asking his mum until it was too late.
By the time Simon askedLynne, there was not enough room at the table and I was unable to go along
This had annoyed me and I remember questioning whether the relationship was worth continuing with.
I believe Simon said he was going out with some friends on the Saturday night, although I am not sure
Simon was very close to his mum, and I think he was quite worried about how she would cope, as I believe she was on anti depressants prior to the murder.
He talked about the incident, but mainly about concern for his mum
We began to visit his parents quite regularly, taking over flowers and chocolates and checking up on his mum.
Simon was quite emotional person (sic) and seemed upset by the incident, which I would expect him to be
I didn’t notice any dramatic change in Simon after the murder.
He was obviously upset, shocked and concerned for his mother but this did not seem out of the ordinary.
He was still himself and there wasn’t any clothing that he suddenly stopped wearing.
Excerpts from Stephanie Bon’s police witness statement dated 4th September 2002
Stephanie Bon did not give any indication to the police that her and Simon had split up by the day before Simon Hall committed his murder of Joan Albert.
The Missing “Larey Or Loud” Black Shirt With Red Splashes
It is not known if Stephanie Bon has given any more thought to what may have led Simon Hall to state he was “a single man” by Saturday the 15th of December 2001, nor is it known if Stephanie Bon has given any more thought to Simon Hall’s missing black and red shirt.
Nicola (Laura T’s friend) appeared to have been the only witness to have mentioned the “larey or loud shirt which was black with red splashes over it” previously owned and worn by killer Simon Hall;
I do recall laughing at Simons shirt which was black with red splashes over it
It was a ’bit larey’ or loud
Excerpts from Laura T’s friend Nicola’s police witness statement dated 27th August 2002
Because Phil Hall seemingly chose to pretend to not have seen what his adoptive son Simon Hall was wearing before he left 8 Snowcroft to go out for the night.
And Lynne Hall blatantly lied about what Simon was wearing when he arrived at their home at 6.30am the following morning.
Suffolk police would not have known that Simon Hall was wearing his “larey shirt which was black with red splashes over it” and therefore would not have been able to ask Stephanie Bon if Simon “had suddenly stopped wearing it”.
It is also not known if Stephanie Bon would have been honest with the police even if she had realised Simon had stopped wearing his black and red shirt.
Especially given the fact Stephanie Bon also chose to lie by omission about the stolen CD players from the Zenith Windows burglary.

Following the break up of our relationship Simon did collect all his belongings
The only item I still have is a blue and white long sleeved work shirt
Excerpts from Stephanie Bon’s police witness statement dated 4th September 2002
It is also not known if killer Simon Hall collected “all his belongings” prior to his murder of Joan Albert, when Stephanie Bon had told police she was “annoyed” after being told “there was not enough room at the table” and she was “questioning whether the relationship was worth continuing”, or if Simon Hall had collected them sometime after Christmas 2001.
