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;

Liar and scammer Sandra Lean stated on the 23rd July 2023 on actual, factual guilty murderer Luke Mitchell;
..a 35 year oldman
Who has never driven a car
Let me see I’ve got a list of what he’s never done
He’s never driven a car
Had a legal drink
Had a job
Shopped for his own needs
“Shopped For His Own Needs”
Chris Taylor and Harry Williamson’s 17thJune2023 article for the Scottish Sun here headed;
evidenced killer Luke Mitchell shopping “for his own needs” and contained many quotes of statements made by the killer including the following;
I visited a few shops — bought some toiletries, bought some games, bought some food
Sadistic killer Luke Mitchell
Had An Illegal Drink
Killer Luke Mitchell may not have had a “legal drink” but he most definitely drunk illegally before he was sent to prison.
There are photographs online of killer Luke Mitchell’s bedroom with bottles of alcohol clearly visible on the top shelf of his pine unit, as can be seen in the copy of the photograph below next to Beavis and Butt-Head;

Sandra Lean – 23rd July 2023
A Few Days After Killer Luke Mitchell’s 2003 Police Interview
Sandra Lean might want to remind herself of Grace McLean’s 22nd January 2005 Daily Mail article headed “I’msimplynotanormalteenager: EXCLUSIVE: Luke Mitchell’s chilling boast to the Mail“.
Journalist Grace McLean first met with killer Luke Mitchell and his mother Corinne Mitchell a few days after his section 14 interview which took place on the 14th of August 2003.
Grace McLean stated;
Iinterviewed Mitchell months before he had been charged with the murder of Jodi, and days after he had been questioned by detectives hunting for her killer
Grace McLean
Grace McLean also met with killer Luke Mitchell “four weeks” before he was arrested in April 2004.
It appears killer Luke Mitchell orchestrated their meeting.
What is clear is that around this time the killer and his mother were courting the media, as is also evidenced by the Sky TV interview on the day of Jodi Jones funeral with James Matthews.
A copy of Grace McLean’s article has been reproduced below;
THE words coming out of his mouth were enough to chill the heart.
His voice flat and emotionless, Luke Mitchell was describing to me the moment he discovered the body of his girlfriend, mutilated and abandoned on the muddy earth.
For the schoolgirl who died an unspeakable death, horrifically mutilated, there was no expression of love from Luke Mitchell – and no tears.
This was Luke’s story in his own words – the account the jury never heard as the teenager never gave evidence during his trial.
“My torch lit up the path like daytime and I was about 12 yards from Jodi when I saw her lying there” he began.
“She was so white. Her throat had been slit and her head was to the side.
“Her eyes were staring up at me and she was naked but for a pair of socks, I think… no, she wasn’t wearing anything. Her body was so white and she was just staring and staring.
‘”I shouted to the others but I couldn’t tell them I’d found Jodi because I didn’t want to upset her gran, but she said she wanted to come over the wall.
‘The others held her back but she scrambled over the wall and said if her granddaugher was there she wanted to be with her.
“She sat down beside Jodi and cradled her in her arms.
I guess the family are suspicious of me because my dog Mia was the one who found Jodi and I was the one who first saw her lying there”
I interviewed Mitchell months before he had been charged with the murder of Jodi, and days after he had been questioned by detectives hunting for her killer.
Aged 15 at the time, the Luke Mitchell in front of me was an adult in everything but name.
Chain smoking and dressed in baggy jeans and a dark-coloured T-shirt, he exuded confidence bordering on arrogance.
Yet all the time his eyes flicked towards his mother Corinne, as if seeking reassurance from the woman with whom he obviously had an extra-special bond.
Mitchell and his mother were like a well-rehearsed double act.
As Corinne Mitchell ranted about the unfair treatment of her son, Mitchell would pace the floor as he vented his anger at the way the police had dealt with him.
Then his mother would touch him lightly on the arm and he would, as if by magic, calm down.
And as he gave his version of his whereabouts the night Jodi was brutally murdered, he constantly looked to her for reassurance, particularly when recalling the time he left the house to meet his girlfriend and the time he went on to meet his friends.
In the first moments of meeting Mitchell I was struck by how confident he was.
After a day at school he knew he was about to meet a journalist, but he walked into the room with a nonchalant air.
As I shook his hand, he gave me a cursory glance before sitting in a chair diagonally across from his mother.
It was clear he was a very sexually aware young man. I immediately felt uncomfortable as his eyes slowly looked me up and down. Mitchell may be a child but his sexuality, arrogance and misplaced maturity make him appear far older than his tender years.
There were a few flashes of childlike behaviour. But they only came as he was distracted by Mia – the dog he claimed picked up Jodi’s scent and led him to her body.
As his story unfolded, it was clear he was a master of manipulation. His story was just too word-perfect. It was also, as has now transpired, a tissue of lies.
This was a 15-year-old who never buckled once during interviews with some of Scotland’s most experienced policemen. The more police pushed him, the more arrogant he became.
He boasted to me: ‘After a few hours I told them, “charge me or let me go”.’
Mitchell leaned forward in his chair and stared intently at me as he told me how police had made his life ‘a misery’ and how they tried to relate to him through stories of rap star Eminem, shock rocker Marilyn Manson and pop singer Holly Valance.
He said: ‘The cops asked me about my relationship with Jodi’s friend Laura.
They kept asking me about the Eminem song Kim, the song where he fantasises about killing his wife.
“They asked me about the follow- up song in which Eminem sings about the “two of us”, meaning him and his daughter. They asked me about Laura and if I wanted it to be just the two of us and asked if that was why I killed Jodi”
“It was all rubbish. Jodi and I would still be together if she was here today”
Detectives were astonished by how arrogant Mitchell was during interviews. Even when confronted with evidence he remained defiant.
He seemed to realise police were trying to relate to him as a teenager and find some kind of common ground.
However, as Mitchell saw himself as an adult, he found the tactic amusing and gained a sense of confidence as the interrogation went on.
Mitchell took to pacing the floor again as he told me how he had ‘got really mad’ with police.
Clenching his fists he said: ‘I started to get really mad after about four hours and asked them to charge me if they had anything to charge me with.’ It was clear Mitchell enjoyed playing cat and mouse with detectives. He said: ‘ One copper stood, looked me straight in my face and said, “We’ve got you. We found your semen on her bra.
We’ve found sperm similar to yours.” I laughed and said, “If it’s similar, it’s not the same then, is it?” ‘ He told how detectives showed him a video reconstruction of how it would have been impossible for him to see Jodi’s body in the dark woods with only a torch – implying he must have known exactly where she was lying.
He said: ‘Jodi’s body was replaced with a tailor’s dummy and I pointed out to police that I could see a limb. That’ s when they switched the video off.’
But then, chillingly, he revealed that he, Jodi and their friend Laura had been talking about funeral arrangements a few nights before the murder.
He said: ‘What happened to Jodi was so ironic because the Thursday before she died we were all talking about what records we would want played at our funeral.’ I could picture him that night, talking in the bedroom with Jodi – taking a perverse pleasure in knowing the fate that awaited her.
He said police took a lock knife from him after being tipped off by friends.
But he added:
‘The bloke who said this is a fantasist. Another of his friends told police Jodi and I were arguing all the time. But that’s not true. We never had a cross word”
Mitchell also denied he was taunting police when he left a note with flowers for Jodi which quoted from Kurt Cobain’s journals:
“The finest day I ever had was when tomorrow never came”
He said: “The only reason I left it was because she loved that line. I wanted to be with Jodi and nobody else”
It was the first time in our interview that Mitchell spoke of any affection for Jodi.
But then, to change the subject, he spent ten minutes talking about newly learned computer skills – just like any other teenage boy – before asking his mother for the keys to her 4×4 Land Rover.
Then, nonchalantly, he walked outside, started up the engine and drove at high speeds around nearby waste ground.
It seemed, yet again, that Mitchell was playing at being an adult.
When he returned, he told his mother he was going to see his friend Laura and, since it was on my way, I offered to give Mitchell a lift.
In the car, he said very little about Jodi, continuing to talk about his computer course. When the car came to a standstill, he leaned over and gave me a hug before jumping out.
Just four weeks later, he was arrested for Jodi’s murder.
I truly believe Mitchell thought he could get away with it.
As we parted, he couldn’t resist having the final word.
A last gesture, and his last chance to goad the police:
“I was never going to break down in public – I’m not that kind of bloke”
“They made a mistake and thought I was just a normal teenager”

Driving His Mother Corinne Mitchell’s 4×4 Land Rover & Had A Job
Not only had killer Luke Mitchell driven before he was sent to prison he also “had a job”.
He worked for his mother Corinne Mitchell and grandmother Ruby Guetta at Scott’s caravans in Mayfield.
Scammer Sandra Lean has previously acknowledge this fact, including in 2015 here, where she stated about the killer;
You will never be able to make some people understand or accept something if they are too stubborn or unwilling to learn or notice
It is not known if Sharon Indy Sunshine (Aka Sharon Young) is one of these people who is “too stubborn” but she is definitely one of these people who is “unwilling to learn or notice”.
Sharon Indy Sunshine Aka Sharon Young
Unwilling To Learn Or Notice
On the 24th of October 2022 Sharon Young made a statement on the cult-like Facebook group promoting the innocence fraud of sadistic and psychopathic killer Luke Mitchell, in response to a Facebook post made by Emma.
Emma posted the below;
I’m just starting Sandra’s book and I’ve got a few questions.
Has Jodi’s family said anything about this book or what others might consider this as theories?
Putting myself in their shoes I’d be furious there was all of this (groups, books, podcasts,etc), I’d do everything in my power to shut them off and shame them for tormenting my family.
I find it odd, this all goes on and they just sit back.
What’s Luke position now?
If I’m getting my timing right, it must be soon he’s able to be released or up for parole?
I told someone I was reading the book and how I really don’t think Luke done it and explained why.
But they said that there was evident of blood on the clothing items his mum burnt that night in the garden.
I remember reading or watching about it, that the fire didn’t happen that night and the parka wasn’t burnt. Can someone clear that up for me please?
I signed the petition last year, did it gain enough signatures to be discussed or did it fall short and that’s why we need to write to MSPs and have a peaceful/silent protest?
Emma
In response to Emma, Sharon Young posted the following;
Hi, please continue to read the book by Dr Sandra Lean it is all based on the provable facts from the case files anyone else only has an opinion which is just that, an opinion based on things such as the media wrote.
Well, one way it has been received was with a serious death threat to Dr Sandra Lean at her home in front of witnesses by JoJ. Dr Lean writes about that in her book.
Sharon Indy Sunshine Aka Sharon Young – 24th October 2022
Sharon Delusion’s & Bare Faced Lies
Sharon Sunshine’s above statement is a bare faced lie.
Sandra Lean’s book is not based on “provable facts”!
Sandra Lean’s book is based on killer Luke Mitchell’s defence evidence, which was proven in 2005 in be a lie!
Emma’s question was ‘Has Jodi’s family said anything about this book’.
Why does Emma assume Jodi Jones family would have read renowned liar and fraudster Sandra Lean’s book?
Sandra Lean’s 2nd book (“this book”) was published in October 2018.
Referring to “this book” Sharon stated “Well, one way it has been received was with a serious death threat to Dr Sandra Lean”.
The visit by the brother of Jodi Jones to ask Sandra Lean to end her corrupt and fraudulent smear campaign occurred in 2010, eight years before Sandra published her second book!
There was no “death threat” as Sharon falsely stated – this was concocted by Sandra Lean in an attempt to smear the brother of Jodi Jones.
Sharon’s serious and false allegation (published as a fact) regarding the brother has never been proven to be true.
Sharon’s apparent lack of reasoning and logic is one of the reasons why someone like charlatan and fraudster Sandra Lean (who is the main protagonist of killer Luke Mitchell’s corrupt and fraudulent public relations spin campaign) would use Sharon as one of her “flying monkeys’’ – to do her bidding.
Sharon may think it’s okay to be making serious, false and unproven allegations like this, but it could be someone like Sharon who could be “sued” and made an example of for repeating Sandra Lean’s unproven nonsense.
Billy (William) Middleton
The Threat To Sandra Lean Was Billy Middleton
It is not known what story scammer Sandra Lean has chosen to tell about the day Jodi Jones brother asked her to end her corrupt and fraudulent spin campaign.
However Sandra Lean apparently had her then boyfriend, un-convicted baby killer, predator and sexual deviant Billy Middleton living with her and her youngest adult daughter Ellie at the time.
Both scammers Sandra Lean and Billy Middleton were and are renowned for making things up to suit their agenda’s.
Stephen A Bennett and all those people involved in the channel 5 TV Show Murder In A Small Townwere possibly not aware of all that had gone on before regarding scammers Billy Middleton and Sandra Lean.
Stephen A Bennett and all those people involved in the channel 5 TV Show, also did not attend the killers trial and hear all the evidence presented.
Many of the websites and forums associated to what went on before, linked to Sandra Lean and/or Billy Middleton, have since been removed from the WWW.
Therefore a lot of statements that were once public, for example by psychology student Colin Bowman, have also been removed from the WWW.
Unless you know the back story, prior to the airing of the TV show, you won’t be familiar with all the facts of this corrupt and fraudulent spin campaign and of the various actors involved.
And it’s highly unlikely Sandra Lean would have written about the incident between her and un-convicted baby killer Billy Middleton and her daughter Ellie in her second book.
You can read some background into Billy Middleton and the WAP website by tapping on each of the buttons below;
Sandra Lean alleged back in 2010 that when Joseph Jones knocked on her door to ask her to end her corrupt and fraudulent spin and smear campaign, she stated she had told him she wanted to go through the paperwork regarding “the DNA results” with Joseph.
If Sandra Lean viewed Joseph Jones ans any kind of threat, as alleged, why would she offer to go through “the DNA results” with him?
What Sandra Lean, and Corinne Mitchell (and others) were falsely claiming back in 2010 was that Stephen Kelly’s blood and semen “were on Jodi’s T-shirt” and that Stephen’s “descriptionandclothingmatched” that of a male seen “following Jodi”.
Of course none of this was true (other than the semen transference which was a red herring) but Sandra Lean wanted to speak to Joseph Jones about what she then wrongly thought she had learnef from the paperwork she had at the time.
Excerpts from a 2010 article which picked up on and published these false allegations read;
But his mum recently posted on an internet forum that evidence points to someone else.
“X’s semen and blood were on Jodi’s T-shirt…his description and clothing matched a witness statement of a male ‘following Jodi’…he was known to the police.
Is it me or is anyone else adding things up here?
“Description of man seen behind Jodi – grey hooded top.
“Several days after the murder X hands his grey hooded top to the police saying it has been washed.
“At 5pm X’s alibi is Janine (Jodi’s sister).
“The police accepted that Janine said, ‘he was with me’ and from him ‘ I was with her’.”
And Sandra Lean, author and researcher on miscarriages of justice, added: “Our Mr X is emerging as more and more suspicious.
“The info that’s coming our way is shocking, especially as the police should have been onto this stuff right from the beginning.”
If Sandra Lean really thought Joe Jones was any threat to her, why would she claim to have been inviting him then, or to come back another time to sit and go through “the DNA results” with her?
Did Sandra Lean write in her second book that in 2010 she and Corinne Mitchell were falsely accusing Stephen Kelly?
Did she explain in her second book how she claimed she attempted to tell Joe Jones, that Stephen Kelly was to blame for sadistic killer Luke Mitchell’s murder of his sister?
Sandra Lean bare faced lied years later and claimed she had made “one typo” in her first book about Stephen Kelly “following Jodi”.
She also claimed that when Joseph Jones had left, un-convicted baby killer Billy Middleton was rigging up recording equipment so that if/when Joseph Jones returned they could secretly record him.
It was not long after this that Sandra Lean’s youngest daughter witnessed her mother being threatened by Billy Middleton, so much so that Ellie apparently kicked Billy and his belongings out of their home.
According to Sandra Lean (when she recounted this incident to a third party not long after) Billy Middleton had got up in Sandra’s face threatening her.
Her exact words were that you couldn’t “fit a cigarette paper between“ her and Billy Middleton.
Apparently some hours after Billy Middleton had been kicked out by her daughter Ellie, he contacted Sandra saying he didn’t know where he was.
According to Sandra Lean, her and her daughter then apparently drove around Edinburgh looking for Billy Middleton and she claimed she found him in a street “covered in blood”.
Sandra Lean also claimed she was concerned what Billy Middleton’s parents and sister would say about the “cuts and bruises” on his face when he returned to their home in the Shetland Isles.
What EXACTLY Was Said During The Trial About The Fires In The Mitchell’s Garden
Sharon also stated in her reply to Emma;
When you get to the section about the log burner you will see that zero forensic evidence of burned fabric was recovered or zips studs and rivets etc which normally people who burn things overlook in the disposal process. The wood burner only had remnants of organic materials in it.
Sharon Indy Sunshine – 24th October 2022
Sharon did not attend killer Luke Mitchell’s trial and has no idea exactly what was said about the fires in the Mitchell’s back garden that night.
Green fibres were found in the log burner.
Corinne Mitchell stated that during the trial she “could have been burning pampas grass”.
What else was said during the trial about the fires in the Mitchell’s back garden?
What did Shane Mitchell say when he was asked about those fires?
Killer Luke Mitchell had told the police his brother Shane and his mother Corinne had had a fire in the garden that night.
The Mitchell’s Were Forensically Aware
Why didn’t Sandra Lean include the answers to these questions in her 2nd book, which Sharon claimed to Emma was “all based on the provable facts from the case files”?
Sharon also stated “normally people who burn things overlook in the disposal process”.
Why would Luke Mitchell’s leave zips, studs and rivets in the remnants of the log burner to be found by the police?
Did Sharon base her statements on the fact dangerous, psychopathic killer (of humans and animals) and rapist StevenAvery “overlooked” Teresa Halbach’s bones and teeth in the “burn pit” and “burn barrel” that he and rapist and killer Brendan Dassey used in their “disposal process” attempt?
Even Pro Knox woman’ Michelle Moore’s husband gouger and innocence fraud promoter Steve Moore wasn’t prepared to back these two dangerous killers and the fraudulent spin campaign which promoted them (Read more here).

Luke did not own a parka before Jodi’s death it was purchased afterwards when the police took every stitch of clothing he had they even got the receipt for the parka. Many people said they saw MK wearing a parka around Dalkeith so not Luke.
Sharon Indy Sunshine – 24th October 2022
Killer Luke Mitchell did own a khaki green parka style jacket before he and his mother Corinne Mitchell purchased a replacement from FLIP in Edinburgh a few days after his murder.
Paragraph 19 of the court of appeal judgement clearly stated;
There was evidence that the appellant had owned and worn a parka-style jacket in the months prior to the murder
Wilfully Being Blinded By The Very Real Innocence Fraud Phenomenon
Sharon also went on to state;
I would say to people, take their grievances up with the fact we do not have FOIA in this country. It is not us hiding things from people or wilfully being blinded.
Sharon Indy Sunshine Aka Sharon Young
It is because of what sadistic killer and pathological liar Luke Mitchell told police during his initial interviews, and his mother and brothers police statements and interviews, and their evidence given during his trial – that helped prove his guilt.
Sharon appears to be a renowned sympathiser for many dangerous, psychopathic killers and rapists.
There is zero doubt Sharon is “wilfully being blinded”.
