In the summer of 2003, 14 year old schoolgirl Jodi Jones was brutally murdered in a quiet Scottish town. In a shocking twist, her killer was revealed to be her 14 year old boyfriend, Luke Mitchell. He has always denied murdering Jodi and continues to maintain his innocence. Now, 17 years after the murder of Jodi Jones, this two part documentary will re-examine the case against Luke Mitchell. With exclusive recordings, from inside prison, he will tell his story. Was an innocent child wronged by the criminal justice system, and could this be Britain’s most shocking miscarriage of justice?

Regardless of whether or not Luke Mitchell is guilty or innocent, how those members of the press can put their heads down on their pillows at night and actually sleep is beyond me. They should be ashamed of themselves. Luke was certainly right about one thing - it was most definitely "trial by press". There is no way on earth that trial should have been held anywhere close to that town.

I’m looking into this case because I saw someone else say that they brought in some cops from the US for this case that happened to be the same cops that worked on the West Memphis 3 case. If you’ve never heard of that one it’s definitely worth looking into. 3 guys did 18 years in prison and most people still aren’t sure if they’re guilty or not. Not sure if it’s true that it’s the same cops but if so that’s insane.

I just heard about this case today for the very first time. I immediately googled it to find some background on it, and when I came across this video I decided to watch it. Most people will probably say I'm crazy or think I'm lying but I SWEAR to you when I believe it was Luke's mother who named off the ones who went to search for her, and while she was doing that she mentioned the sisters boyfriend, and I IMMEDIATELY just had this voice in my head that said "that's who did it". I'm now about half way through watching the video, and I've just listened to the part where the lady announced that the DNA that was found on her body belong to the sisters boyfriend and it gave me chills!!!! I've always had that little voice in my head that I call my sixth sense because I get feelings about different things. As I've gotten older, I've learned to listen to it. Beyond my own intuition though, this WHOLE ENTIRE CASE was a witch hunt! The sisters bf I'm sure would've known of Luke's interest in the Black Dahlia murder so its not surprising to me that this was the manner in which she was killed....hebdid it to point the finger at Luke...and it worked because the police were INCOMPETENT and only saw a boy who was into devil worshipping. I mean they didn't even think for one second that someone else could've been responsible! I'm sure alot of people knew a out his interest in the BD so it begs the question that why would he kill her in such a way that the similarities would point the finger directly at him! 🤦🏼‍♀️ The fact that they had forensic evidence that tied someone else to her murder should've been enough to find him not guilty....had the jury not already been tainted by the media!!! Own your mistakes and FREE THIS MAN!!!

I 100000% believe it was the sister bf also

[@gavaka8622]

The media overplayed the Black Dahlia part, they made Luke out to be a Marilyn Manson fanatic. Manson was fascinated by the Dahlia killing so they put it out that Luke must have been too as he was supposedly a huge Manson fan. The truth is that the police found a Marilyn Manson CD in Luke’s bedroom but he only had it as it came free with a magazine that he had bought. The media used this along with his out there fashion sense to paint him as some sort of satanic worshipping outcast who was obsessed with violence. Made for great headlines and selling newspapers but was catastrophic for Luke’s case and reputation.

The Scottish police need to have a serious look at themselves. When I'm watching this in March 2024, the murderer of Emma Caldwell has only just been convicted 24 years after her death. Top brass in the Strathclyde force wrongly pursued 4 Turkish men, and when the real murderer was uncovered, they ordered the officers on the case to kick it into the grass to save themselves face. He went on to commit many more offences against women who were actively ignored, gaslit, or even arrested themselves as a response. I think the Scottish Police force as a whole can consider themselves tarnished by this, and it truly throws into question this conviction. Arresting and convicting at all costs doesn't serve justice, it robs the innocent of their life and allows murderers to get off scot free.

[@JerseySwanBeezy]

After the airing of this Police Scotland began to "erroneously" destroy the evidence. A whistle-blower came forward alerting Luke's legal team

[@missymarie2698]

So…I’m not a detective, profiler; a ‘professional’ in any means relative to crime. HOWEVER, this boy seemed innocent from the beginning. So either they don’t care at all and just want to bust ‘someone’..OR…if they truly believe it’s ONLY this poor kid? Anybody can see, that this young man, was NOT her killer. It’s heartbreaking to see him being broken down by their presumption of his being guilty- BEFORE he has a chance to defend himself. I truly hope he was able to get some type of compensation.

26:00 under pressure. People should be patient and hope for the correct person to be found, not just any old body. By not finding the murderer that poor other girl was raped and murdered. It’s so stupid. Police should not bend to pressure (unless it’s because they are flat out not looking into a case for no good reason which does happen.)

[@davidwallace6031]

From what i can deduce luke must have butchered her at an unknown location carried her to the v in the wall and left virtually no blood at the v and had no incriminating evidence on his own body Astounding

Sounds like corruption or some really sloppy police work.

I live in the area and wasn't until recently I found out the area had a history. It's strange seeing places I walk about a lot been given a sinister overtone. Regardless of if Luke is guilty or innocent of the crime I hope that he comes out of prison ok. Growing up through prison must have been painful.

Is the Jones family still in the area particularly Joseph Jones

[@rachaelblick2259]

Absolutely shocking police work, and they are still bullying Luke Mitchell for a confession...unreal.

[@jennifertaylor2593]

Reminds me of satanic panic in America..kids who listened to alleged “devils music” and dressed differently where automatically accused and believed to commit horrible crimes. It appears to me he was set up. Her body was by their initials, it was a time they were to meet in an area they know, none of his DNA was on her and none of hers was on him..no cuts or wounds on him and she fought for her life. It shocking to me that he was prosecuted with no evidence against him. And I heard he wasn’t familiar with the Black Dahlia until after Jodie was murdered. The press sure does have horrible horrific affects on the world around us. Whatever sells.

[@highjinx6519]

I saw someone say they brought the cops from the US that worked on the West Memphis 3 case to work this one. I would love to know if there’s any truth to that.

It is a strange case this.....I lived in Edinburgh and being part of the rock/alternative life style If he is innocent he should file a case against the Lothian & Borders police for many reasons If he is guilty god help him But the thing is I get from rewatching and taking note I think there is something or someone else who points the finger at luke Mitchell and since he is the odd one he was blamed an charged with the murder in question Lastly if this drug addict kane was brought up we may of had him on trial along with luke Jodi Jones rip Let this case got solved an let miss Jones rest in peace 1🙏⚘🙏

[@scotsgirlie1970]

@ourwilliam2405 "one sided" the family declined to take part. They kept their pact of silence but then they have to, don't they. Stocky Man aka Joseph Jones - Jodi's older brother - last person seen following her. Accordingly, last person to see her alive.

[@ourwilliam2405]

@@scotsgirlie1970 It's a ghost story, Why didn't the guy with his bonnet up in the car see Joseph? What about the guy walking on Morris Rd? Why did nobody see Joseph leaving the woods and walking home later? Why did none of the neighbors see Joseph walking back home? How could he do it if he was out his nut-smoking bongs? (according to Forbes) Why was Lukes bike chained up to a fence near the crime scene?

[@scotsgirlie1970]

@ourwilliam2405 it was easy for Joseph Jones to get out of the woods - he had the help of John Ferris and Gordon Dickie aka the moped boys to get him away from the scene.

@@scotsgirlie1970 So why didn't anybody see them leaving? So a noisy bike couldn't be seen with three people on it?
