Luke Mitchell, convicted at just 16 for the murder of Jodi Jones in Dalkeith, Scotland, has always maintained his innocence. In this filmed polygraph (lie detector) test, conducted inside HMP Shotts by experienced examiner Terry Mullins, Luke is questioned about his involvement in the crime.
Luke passed the test, further strengthening concerns that his conviction may be a miscarriage of justice. With no direct forensic evidence ever linking him to the crime, this video provides another perspective on why campaigners continue to call for his case to be re-examined.
