David Jagger: The tragic death of Star Hobson | TTC #14

In the summer of 2003, Jodi Jones was brutally murdered in a quiet Scottish town, and her 14-year-old boyfriend, Luke Mitchell, was revealed as the killer. Mitchell has consistently denied the murder, raising questions about whether he is the true culprit or a victim of a wrongful conviction.

Join us as we examine the case with Dr. Sandra Lean, an author and criminologist who has worked with individuals and families who claim wrongful conviction and factual innocence. Dr. Lean not only writes books on miscarriages of justice but also contributes to case reviews aimed at securing appeals through the Court of Appeal or the Criminal Cases Review Commission in the UK. She also contributes to podcasts, articles, and website content that highlight individual cases.
