Murder of Jodie Jones

I haven't heard of this case before either. I'll be Googling it tomorrow.

This case is vaguely familiar - but could you kust give us a bit of an outline so that we can discuss it more fully? I think it took place in Wales, right?

Hello.

I am aware there are a couple of threads on this subject but neither have any real discussion. Nobody seemed interested.

I was going to type up a long spew of fact, argument and counterargument regarding this case before I thought it may be an idea to gauge interest before I possibly waste my time.

So firstly, does anyone know about this case?
Secondly, does anyone believe the verdict was anything other than the correct decision?


I believe there is an innocent man locked up for this murder. I also believe those involved in prosecuting this case knew, before and during proceedings, that there were serious flaws in the evidence provided.

The one thing that always bothers me, not more nor less than other seriously suspect evidence I must stress, is the prosecutions inclusion of witnesses who claim they saw Luke sitting on a wall at the end of the path where Jodie was later discovered shortly after the murder. So we have a 14 year old boy who has apparently just murdered and seriously mutilated his girlfriend sitting calmly on a wall a short distance away from the crime scene with no visible blood stains on him trying to contact his girlfriend and her family.

This has made me feel uneasy since 2003.

And then of course there are the other suspects who in my opinion, had Luke been given a fair trial, would currently be serving life for her murder.

Anyway, before we get specific and detailed, does anyone know or care about this case?
