A convicted killer who claimed he was the leading recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan in Scotland is campaigning for Luke Mitchell’s release.
James Mitchell, who nailed his victim to a floor over a debt, has attended rallies in support of Luke’s freedom bid and has become one of his most prominent online supporters.
Jodi Jones, 14, was brutally killed in Dalkeith, Midlothian, in June 2003. Luke was arrested over her death when he was 15 and caged for her murder in 2005.
We can now reveal James Mitchell – who is not related to Jodi’s killer – is among those fighting to have Luke cleared.
He put a picture of himself on Facebook in a T-shirt featuring Luke’s face, saying “zero evidence” and another of a banner hung near his home reading, “Free Luke. End Police Corruption”.
He also shared photos of a mannequin dressed as a prison guard wearing a pro-Luke T-shirt. James, who served time in Carstairs State Hospital after killing his victim, previously claimed to be the Klan’s leading recruiter in Scotland.
He has been linked to the racist organisation for decades and had dealings with the US-based leaders in Alabama.
He claimed his job was to find young Scots who share his ideal of an all-white Britain and that at one point there were 5500 people in Scotland “who are members or are going through the membership process”.
Edinburgh-based James Mitchell, originally from Barlanark, Glasgow, is also an ex-member of violent racist group Combat 18. He survived a knife attack near his home in the 90s which he said was carried out by anti-Nazis.
He was unwittingly hired as an extra on George Clooney movie The Jacket – filmed in Scotland. He spent two days playing a patient with mental health issues.

It’s not the years, it’s the mileage! Harrison Ford defended the de-aging technology used on him during a flashback sequence in his new film, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
Cannes took audiences back to their childhoods with the first screening of “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.” The film’s splashy premiere saw stars Harrison Ford, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Mads Mikkelsen walk the red carpet, alongside Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger and director James Mangold. The first reactions were slow to drop but were filled with enthusiasm.
Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” stars Harrison Ford in his final performance as the swashbuckling fedora-wearing adventurer, a legendary role he’s played in five films across 40 years. But he says he is officially ready to retire the character. “Is it not evident?” the 80-year-old actor joked at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday’s press conference for the action-adventure. “I need to sit down and rest a little bit.” In returning to the character for one last time, Ford expressed a desire to see “a completion of the five films.” He added, “I wanted to see the weight of life on him. I wanted to see him require reinvention. I wanted him to have a relationship that wasn’t a flirty movie relationship.
“Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” is mostly encouraging. The fifth Harrison Ford-starring Indy flick doesn’t open theatrically until the week of June 30, but Cannes audiences got the first look. “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” debuted at the 2008 Cannes Festival, however, that was days away from its Memorial Day weekend launch.
Christopher Vourlias Ukraine’s cinema union issued an open letter on Thursday calling on participants of the Cannes Film Market to halt all business with Russia. The statement asserted that releasing films in Putin’s pariah state is akin to “support for terrorism” amid its ongoing war of aggression in the Eastern European nation. The letter, which was written by the Ukrainian League of Cinemas, singled out a number of leading international indie distributors and sales agents — including Lionsgate, STXInternational, FilmNation, A24 and Pathé — whose films have been released in Russia since the start of the war. “Continuing to do business in Russia means supporting the Russian terrorist state with taxes,” the statement read. “These taxes are then turned into weapons with which peaceful Ukrainian cities are destroyed, and our friends and colleagues are killed and maimed.”
