During the video killer Sean Toal and Scott Forbes told many outrageous lies.
The following is some dialogue between the pair of innocence fraudsters;
So the police are now driving people about
They’ve been over the wall of a crime scene
Come on anybody with any..
Scott Forbes
Is this the local police then
Sean Toal
Aye started off with the local police and then Dobbie and that arrived
He was a detective superintendent for Edinburgh
Scott Forbes
But this time the place have already let..
Sean Toal
Aye they’ve allowed people to go home covered in Jodi’s blood
Scott Forbes
And what was Dobbie’s answer to that
Sean Toal
Ah he just says ach we’ve carri.. our investigation was the finest police work that we’ve ever carried out
Scott Forbes
So there’s people there that have been involved in finding the body
They’re covered in blood
They don’t get questioned
They get drove about Dalkeith and then they pick on Luke
Sean Toal
Detective chief superintendent Craig Dobbie was not appointed as senior investigating officer until gone 03:00hrs, by which time all the family members had left the scene.
And no one was “covered in blood” like killer Sean Toal stated!
This is another intentional bare faced lie!
Alice Walker was the only person to have gone near her grand-daughter Jodi Jones’ body and Alice had said she might have touched her grand-daughters forehead.
The intentional bare faced lie about Alice Walker “cradling” her grand-daughter body was started by sadistic murderer Luke Mitchell!
Janine Jones, Steven Kelly and Alice Walker were driven directly to Newbattle police station, they were not “droveabout” Dalkeith like killer Sean Toal stated and they didn’t go home until after they had been at the police station – where they were asked questions.
Pages 806 and 807 of Janine Jones’ trial testimony describes some of what happened in the early hours of the morning of 1st July 2003;

Scammer Sandra Lean and her former boyfriend, un-convicted baby killer Billy Middleton were involved in killer Sean Toal’s public relations innocence fraud spin campaign:
In reality – killers Sean Toal and Luke Mitchell had been cohorts since at least 2010.
Sandra Lean has remained (publicly) silent since her bare faced lies, disinformation and misinformation are being exposed by trial transcripts but she recently commented on murderer Sean Toal on Facebook;
Nicola Brennan, who was referred to in Part 296here commented on Sandra’s post;
Whilst over on X Heather Brunt, who was referred to in Part 288here also tweeted on killer Sean Toal – commenting on how fraudster Scott Forbes “worked on his case”;

Killer Sean Toal also refers to himself as Social Sessions on various social media platforms, as well as @seanaldo1985 on X.
Social Sessions tweeted Neil MacKay on the 4th December 2023;
Neil MacKay was involved in the fraudulent 2021 channel 5 TV show Murder In A Small Town. Neil MacKay was referred to in Parts 261 and 265 of this ongoing blog series, both of which can be read by tapping on the buttons below;
On the 7th December 2023 killer Sean Toal asked John Halley to message him.
John Halley was arrested in March 2023 for sex offences (Read more here) and had also been promoting scammer Sandra Lean’s nonsense on social media, although he too has recently gone quiet on this.
Again – since trial transcripts have been published, Sandra Lean has remained silent

On the 26th of April 1999 Jill Dando (37) was murdered by sexual predator, serial stalker, rapist and assassin Barry George.
Barry George shot Jill Dando whilst she was on the doorstep of her home in Gowan avenue Fulham, which is in Southwest London.
A jury found Barry George guilty of his murder on the 2nd July 2001.
Murderer Barry George
Not long after Barry George was found guilty, he confessed to his murder in 2002.
In the same year he confessed to his murder, Barry George appealed his conviction but his appeal was dismissed.
However on the 20th June 2007 the fraudsters at the criminal cases review commission referred Barry George’s murder conviction to the court of appeal.
The court of appeal went on to deem Barry George’s murder conviction “unsafe” and ordered a re-trial.
On the 9th June 2008 he stood trial for a second time and on the 1st August 2008 Barry George was found not guilty.
A not guilty verdict does not equate to actual, factual innocence.
Less than two years after they referred killer Barry George’s murder conviction to the court of appeal, the fraudsters at the criminal cases review commission referred the murder conviction of killer Simon Hall.
Michael Mansfield, who first represented killer Barry George during his appeal also represented killer Simon Hall.
Fibre evidence, which was one of the factors which helped convict killer Simon Hall, still links Barry George to his murder.
Gun shot residue matching the gunshot residue found at Barry George’s crime scene also still links him to his murder.
Michael Naughton
Michael Naughton, who campaigned for and represented killer Simon Hall when their innocence fraud was exposed in 2012/13, went on to write the foreword of killer Barry George’s sister’s book.
Michelle Diskin Bates
Assassin Barry George & his sister Michelle Diskin Bates
Michelle Diskin Bates, who appears to be a deluded fantasist similar to her killer brother, has gone on to align herself with numerous other dangerous murderers, including mass murderer, child killer and rapist Jeremy Bamber.
In August 2016 liar and fantasist Michelle Diskin Bates made the claim she was watching nighttime TV back in August 1985 – even though nighttime TV did not exist in the UK until 1986.
It was well after midnight on August 6th 1985 and I couldn’t sleep. Switching on the T.V., I absent-mindedly tuned into a news channel. We were living in Co. Cork, in Southern Ireland, and I was joyfully awaiting the birth of our first child who was already overdue, making me feel restless; that was why I was up and about at such an hour.
Becoming aware of a breaking-news story I began to listen in more closely. A siege was taking place at a farmhouse in England. The broadcaster relayed that five people were inside and there was great fear for their safety. As the story unfolded it became apparent that this was an older couple. A farmer and retired Magistrate, Nevill Bamber and his wife, June; their daughter, Sheila, and her six year old twin sons. Jeremy, their son, was outside with police who were trying to communicate with someone inside the house who had been seen pacing back and forth in front of an upstairs window and carrying a firearm. The reporter said that police were reluctant to get too close to the house for fear of causing that person to become more agitated, thereby, escalating the danger to the family. I watched for an hour or so but there was no resolution and, heavily pregnant, I became exhausted and had to go off to bed

When Barry George was released from custody, following his 2008 re-trial, he was placed under MAPPA (multi-agency public protection arrangements) restrictions due to his dangerousness, especially towards women.
Media Spin & Compensating Violent Rapist Andrew Malkinson’s VICTIM
The mainstream media are continuing to spin violent rapist, parasitic predator and convicted fraudster (Thailand 2001) Andrew Malkinson’s position.
His violent convictions were found to be “unsafe” by the court of appeal on the 26th July 2023.
The court of appeal did NOT find Andrew Malkinson “innocent” or “clear” him per se.
Will the ministry of justice be awarding compensation to Andrew Malkinson’s victim and if not why not?
A minute trace of undated, circumstantial DNA found on a piece of clothing worn by Andrew Malkinson’s victim does not erase all the other evidence which points to Andrew Malkinson and only Andrew Malkinson.
It is not known when Andrew Malkinson’s victim could have picked up this background circumstantial DNA, apparently belonging to a Mr B, who was almost 10 years younger than Malkinson.
Andrew Malkinson’s victim said her attacker was in his “early-to-mid” 30’s,
NOT his early 20’s – which is how old Mr B would have been in July 2003.
Some of the evidence which led to Andrew Malkinson’s convictions has been explored in this ongoing blog series, the index for which can be found by tapping on the button below;
In December 2022 it was reported that a Mr B had been arrested by police in Exeter after a minuscule amount of his undated, circumstantial DNA was said to have been found on violent rapist Andrew Malkinson’s victims clothing.
Mr B was reported to be 48 years of age at the time of his arrest, meaning he was almost 10 years younger than Andrew Malkinson.
Andrew Malkinson’s victim had described her attacker as being in his “early-to-mid” 30’s.
NOT his early 20’s!
Obviously Impossible To Inflict Wound Without Removing Clothing
Writer Bob Woffinden stated on behalf of Andrew Malkinson in 2016;
The scientists considered whether the profile did match someone on the national DNA database, but then decided that it probably didn’t.
The FSS (Forensic science service) conceded that it is impossible to know which bodily fluid it derives from, or whether it is associated with the case.
It was because of the partially-severed nipple on the left breast that the prosecution was able to emphasise to the jury just what a vicious attack this had been.
Yet this evidence should be examined properly.
There was saliva staining at the site, from which a DNA profile was obtained, but it didn’t match Malkinson (though the profile could have matched the boyfriend); and the clothing on the upper body was not disarranged.
(The VICTIM’S).. fleece remained zipped up throughout and her bra remained in place.
It would have been obviously impossible for Malkinson to have inflicted the wound without disturbing the clothing.
Excerpts from Bob Woffinden’s book The Nicholas Cases published in May 2016
The miniscule undated, circumstantial DNA profile did not match “the boyfriend”.
When the criminal cases review commission referred violent rapist and convicted fraudster (Thailand 2001) Andrew Malkinson’s convictions to the appeal court they stated;
The new DNA evidence found by the CCRC does not prove that the man on the DNA database committed these or any offences.
If it was “obviously impossible” for violent rapist Andrew Malkinson “to have inflicted the woundwithout disturbing the clothing” in 2016 – why the double standards around Mr B in 2023?
Bob Woffinden also stated in relation to Andrew Malkinson’s victim;
There is also the matter of what happened to her at around 3.40am when she told her boyfriend that she had ‘found somewhere warm and dry’ and was ‘safe’.
Her calls were then discontinued for about 45 minutes. This is another unexplained part of the case.
Excerpts from Bob Woffinden’s book The Nicholas Cases published in May 2016
Could this be where and when the background circumstantial DNA of Mr B’s was picked up.
The Zipped Up Fleece
How would anyone be able to bite through the material of a fleece, a vest top and a bra – none of which had holes or teeth marks on or in them.
Part of Edward Henry’s argument during the appeal hearing was;
..commonly found in saliva
Which lies directly above the bra
And the reason why the bra is stained in blood is because her attacker virtually severed the nipple of her left breast
No teeth marks were found
But presumably biting through clothing
Practically severing the nipple of her left breast
And as we state at paragraph 9 the images help to illustrate why the jury would have been entitled to conclude that Mr B deposited his DNA on the area of potential saliva staining on the upper left area of the complainants vest top, while biting and severing her left nipple
And then I do not need to erm go further than that
Statements made by Edward Henry at around 34:04 here dated 26th July 2023
It is not known what Edward Henry said before he used the words “..commonly found” as the audio again dropped out at this point of the hearing, as was referred to in Part 21 of this ongoing blog series, which can be read by tapping on the button below;
Misleading evidence was presented to the three judges presiding over the appeal hearing of violent rapist and convicted fraudster Andrew Malkinson.
Saturday 19th July 2003: Was the date of Andrew Malkinson’s Violent Attack & Rapes
Sunday 20th July 2003: Was the date Edward Henry claimed to the appeal judges police constables (Pc’s) Chris Baybutt & Gary Waite visited Andrew Malkinson at work
Your lordships the very next morning, purely as a result of a hunch, when the description of the attacker had been recited to them, the night before at the scene, police constable Waite and police constable Baybutt, on hearing the description of the attacker said ‘that’s Andrew Malkinson’ because about a month before they had stopped him erm, he hadn’t committed any offence, but he was seen riding pillion on the back of a young Mr Hardman’s moped
And they had stopped him, so as a result of the hunch they went to see him the following day
Immediately the day after the attack at his place of work
Statements by Edward Henry during Andrew Malkinson’s appeal hearing on 26th July 2023 here
Monday 21st July 2003: Said to be the date the VICTIM in this case gave her police witness statement
Monday 21st July 2003: Was the date Andrew Malkinson stated in 2016 (via writer Bob Woffinden) that Pc’s Baybutt & Waite visited him at work
The evidence was that at 2.00pm on the day of the attack two community beat officers, after hearing the description of the attacker, had ‘immediately’ and ‘simultaneously’ named Malkinson as the suspect.
Why would anyone, having heard of the attacker’s ‘smart’ clothes, instantly think of the generally dishevelled Malkinson?
Secondly, two days later, on Monday 21 July, the officers saw Malkinson at work.
Excerpts by Bob Woffinden’s taken from chapter 5 of his book The Nicholas cases
Friday 25th July 2003: The date the CCRC submitted to the appeal court judges that Pc’s Baybutt & Waite visited Andrew Malkinson at work
My learned friend and the respondent says that the commission has over stated this matter
In fact actually if we go to the statement of reason, eh and if I may ask you, and if I do erm ask you very briefly my lords to go to page 114, eh and eh paragraph 165
Forgive me 164, this is what the commission said
‘This is significant because the trial judge raised the question of whether the victim was mistaken about having scratched her attacker at all and told the jury that if she may have scratched her attacker then the person responsible for the attack cannot be the defendant
Dr Anderson’s mistake allowed the judge to suggest that the victim may have been mistaken in her account of scratching her attacker. This undermined an important defence point made by Mr Malkinson’s counsel at trial that the fact that Mr Malkinson was not injured or disfigured in anyway when he was seen by the police on the 25th of July, six days after the attack, meant that he could not have been the attacker’
With the greatest respect to my learned friend but also to the commission, erm the commission erm got that wrong
It was the very next day
Statements by Edward Henry during Andrew Malkinson’s appeal on 26th July 2023 at around 1:14:44 here
Who Was & Is Wrong?
It is not clear who was and is wrong in relation to the date Pc’s Chris Baybutt and Gary Waite visited Ellesmere shopping centre.
However it was reported that both Pc’s Baybutt and Waite were “recommended for a commendation” by Judge Michael Henshall, who presided over the February 2004 trial, for helping to bring violent rapist Andrew Malkinson to justice.
In Part 253 of this ongoing blog series (which can be read by tapping on the button below) it was evidenced how scammer Scott Forbes had confirmed via his Twitter social media account that killer Luke Mitchell had NOT stayed at his father Philip Mitchell’s house “forweeks” before he committed his murder;
On the 7th March 2021 Sandra Lean again referred to killer Luke Mitchell’s trousers with Jodi Jones🌻 DNA found on them.
The police found the trousers hidden in a hold-all in killer Luke Mitchell’s home on the 4th July 2003.
Scammer Sandra Lean stated ;
They were still in the hold-all from the previous week-end
Statement by Sandra Lean made on 7th March 2021 (from around 8:58 of her video)
In October 2018 Sandra Lean stated;
The DNA to which this expert referred was, in fact, on another pair of trousers taken from Luke’s home – there was no way of telling how long the DNA trace from Jodi had been there
Sandra Lean – from p.196 of her second Innocence fraud book
killer Luke Mitchell had not stayed at his father Philip Mitchell’s house “for weeks”.
There was no evidence produced to show killer Luke Mitchell had stayed at his father Philip Mitchell’s house “the previous week–end”.
The word hybristophilia was apparently derived from the Greek word hubrizein meaning “to commit an outrage against someone” and seemingly links back to a man called John Money who is said to have been a pro-pedophile pervert.
Having worked with a number of high profile, media-savvy offenders in prison I became immediately aware of the phenomenon known as hybristophilia – the sexual interest that some women have for those who have committed violent crimes.
Last month the Danes introduced a law to ban life-sentenced prisoners from receiving fan mail from new pen pals, and limiting their contact to friends that they had had before they were convicted for the first 10 years of their sentence.
As the Danish justice minister Nick Haekkerup said when introducing the bill, convicted criminals “should not be able to use prisons as dating centres, or media platforms.”
Danish justice minister Nick Haekkerup also stated around the time;
We have seen distasteful examples in recent years of prisoners who have committed vile crimes contacting young people in order to gain their sympathy and attention
In response to David Wilson’s article Innocence Fraud Watch tweeted the following;
What David Wilson @ProfDavidWilson omits to mention in his @Daily_Record article is the ‘fan mail’ of these killers also includes letters from lawyers, students, criminologists, authors, journalists & others
Do these individuals also suffer from the ‘hybristophilia’ phenomenon?
Cammilla Kurstein was a 17 year old schoolgirl who appears to have been exploited and groomed by psychopathic killer Peter Madsen after she apparently wrote to him wanting ‘to know what happened in the man’s head’
Interested to know why you would appear to attach the ‘hybristophilia’ phenomenon to a 17 year old school girl yet seemingly discount it (Or not recognise it) in some lawyers, students, criminologists, authors & journalists etc. who also write letters to killers
David Wilson has seemingly done a 180 degree turn on his “…convicted criminals ‘should not be able to use prisons as dating centres, or media platforms” spiel, and has added his support to 14 year old Jodi Jones’ murderers’ fraudulent public relations (PR) spin campaign and written a bizarre article for the Scottish Herald.
David Wilson made the following obscene statement;
..there is literally nothing – nothing – I could uncover that warranted Luke even being charged with Jodi’s murder, never mind being sent to trial
Excerpt by David Wilson for The Herald dated 12th April 2023
In January 2005 Rosalind McInness wrote an article for the BBC headedA uniquely hard case, in which she referred to some of the difficulties reporters faced reporting on the murderers 42 day trial.
This included “protecting vulnerable participants”, like the other young teenage girls who gave evidence about the violent assaults they had suffered at the hands of the then future killer.
After his murder trial, it came to light that other girls had been threatened with a knife held to their throats by Luke Mitchell, who clearly had an undiagnosed “conduct disorder with callous-unemotional traits”.
Tap on the below link to read about some of the facts which came to light regarding the murderers apparent undiagnosed “conductdisorderwithcallous–unemotionaltraits”
When Luke Mitchell decided to commit his murder, he “repeatedly struck” Jodi Jones“on the head and body, compressed her throat and restricted her breathing and caused her to fall to the ground”.
He took his brown handled folding Jack Pyke knife, or “something of this ilk” and slashed Jodi Jones throat, “cutting the main artery in her neck seven-eights of the way through”.
Jodi Jones “jugular vein had also been cut right through and the main nerve had also been nicked”. The knife “slash” had “gone through all three structures”, and according to professor Anthony Busuttil this was “fatal almost immediately”.

Duplicitous Gaslighter & Fraud Sandra Lean Has Misrepresented The Facts Of The Case & Placed A False & Misleading Narrative Into The Public Domain
David Wilson started his Herald article with;
I’ve never needed to be convinced that miscarriages of justice happen in Scotland.
Excerpt by David Wilson for The Herald dated 12th April 2023
Jodi Jones’ murderer PR spin campaign is yet another example of the very real innocence fraud phenomenon, not the outdated “miscarriage of justice” phenomenon.
There has not been a “breach of the carriage of justice” in this case!
The PR spin campaign is one of fraud ie; “intentional deception to secure unfair or unlawful gain”.
There are many examples in Scotland of the innocence fraud phenomenon and the sadistic murderer Luke Mitchell’s is up there as one of the worst examples.
The PR spin campaign has been headed up by a duplicitous gaslighter and fraud called Sandra Lean, who did not attend the 42 day trial. For around 16 years or so, Sandra Lean has misrepresented the actual facts of the case, which is something she has form for in several other cases and PR spin campaigns.
This ongoing blog series has debunked a lot of Sandra Lean’s nonsense and propaganda. The Index can be found by tapping on the link below;
What is extremely interesting about David Wilson’s article, is that he chose to omit to mention Sandra Lean’s name and instead claimed;
I have been able to: read transcripts from Luke’s trial; consult various appeals that were made on his behalf; looked at a range of newspaper commentary (some of which supported his conviction); watched Murder in a Small Town and also part of the Trials that Shocked Scotland series; listened to a podcast about the case – which also devoted most of an episode to Luke Mitchell speaking from prison (and he clearly is an intelligent man); and delved into some social media – which I can assure you is not for the faint-hearted.
Excerpt by David Wilson for The Herald dated 12th April 2023
I have been able to: read transcripts from Luke’s trial..
Excerpt by David Wilson for The Herald dated 12th April 2023
What transcripts could David Wilson have possibly been able to read, given the fact there are no transcripts available to read in the public domain, and a large volume of evidence heard during the trial has never been transcribed.
Innocence Fraud Watch are of the firm opinion David Wilson was, and is blagging.
David Wilson’s following statement was also interesting, as it appears to have been about JaneHamilton and he appears to have attempted to throw her under the bus;
…looked at a range of newspaper commentary (some of which supported his conviction)
Excerpt by David Wilson for The Herald dated 12th April 2023
Jane Hamilton wrote a few articles in 2021, calling out the two part innocence fraud propaganda TV show called Murder In A Small Town, referred to by David Wilson.
As a result, Jane Hamilton was subjected to a malicious and fabricated smear campaign orchestrated by Sandra Lean; something else she has form for.
The TV show rewrote history and the narrative told was based on the false and misleading narrative told by Sandra Lean in her second innocence fraud book, which she callously called ‘Innocent’s Betrayed’ (David Wilson published a book in 2002 called ‘Innocence Betrayed’).
The podcast David Wilson referred to, was also based on Sandra Lean’s false and misleading narrative, which Innocence Fraud Watch will be addressing in due course;
It would be interesting to learn what ‘social media’ David Wilson was referring to, as it is clear he did not carry out any due diligence. Sandra Lean is not a reliable narrator and source and has told no end of lies.
David Wilson does however appear to have noticed one lie perpetuated by Sandra Lean, and the murderer and his mother Corinne Mitchell, as he stated;
..nor is it true that his clothing was destroyed by his mother after the event
Excerpt by David Wilson for The Herald dated 12th April 2023
On page 34 of her innocence fraud book Sandra Lean stated;
..according to the prosecution..
Luke then coolly returned home and had his mother destroy a parka jacket he wore during the attack, in a log burner in the back garden and between them, they arranged for the disposal of the murder weapon
Sandra Lean – Page 34 IB
The prosecution never told the jury that Corinne Mitchell had burned her sons parka jacket in the back garden. This was another manufactured innocence fraud narrative;
Alan Turnbull prosecuting, also told the jury at the High Court in Edinburgh that Mitchell, 16, thought he was ‘untouchable’.
He said Jodi’s injuries had been “inflicted with calm deliberation”
He added:
“Her killer had a cold, calculating presence of mind and it is not difficult to look to Luke Mitchell as her killer. He discussed these awful eventsin a TV interview with not a tear, not a quiver, not the slightest indication of upset”
He said Mitchell even had the presence of mind to plot his defence immediately after the murder by phoning Jodi’s home and burning a parka he had worn during the attack.
Excerpts from the Daily Record by Ian Dow article headed Murder jury hear of morbid interests dated January 2005
DS Craig Dobbie stated;
We know clothes were missing from Luke’s wardrobe and we know the burner was used
Was the clothing burned? It’s a distinct possibility
Statements made by DS Craig Dobbie reported by Jack Mathieson for the Daily Record dated 22nd January 2005
Another lie told by Sandra Lean is as follows;
Judith’s claim that she woke Joseph at around 10.30pm, because Jodi was missing, was clearly mistaken – it was not until 10.40pm that Judith discovered Jodi had not been with Luke
Sandra Lean – page 89 IB
Judith Jones sent a text message to killer Luke Mitchell’s phone at 10:20pm, reported by the Herald here.
Sandra Lean also stated in her book;
Something is very wrong here. Judith did not know and could not have told anyone else that Jodi had not been with Luke that evening, until after she hung up the call with Luke at 10.42:40pm
Sandra Lean – page 142 IB
Sandra Lean’s bare faced lies about Jodi Jones’ loved ones are abhorrent and they are intentional, told to mislead, deceive and gaslight anyone who doesn’t have a basic comprehension of the facts of the case.
David Wilson appears to be an egomaniac with no scruples who has jumped on the bandwagon of a lost cause and has used his waning “celebrity” status in an attempt to keep himself relevant.
David Wilson is a hypocrite who has committed an outrage to Jodi Jones memory, to Jodi Jones loved ones and he has committed an outrage to all the other innocent people caught up in this blatant innocence fraud PR spin campaign.
