A convicted killer and supporter of the Klu Klux Klan is campaigning for Luke Mitchell's release, after he brutally murdered 14 year-old Jodie Jones in 2003.
Glasgow born James Mitchell - who is of no relation to Jodi's killer - claims he is the leading recruiter for the KKK in Scotland and is rallying in support of Luke Mitchell's release.
Convicted killer, James, who was found guilty after nailing his victim to the floor over a debt, is now branding the police corrupt as he insists Jodi's murderer, Luke is innocent, reports the Record.

Jodi Jones was 14 when she was brutally murdered in Dalkeith, Midlothian, in June of 2003. Luke Mitchell was arrested and charged in connection with her death when he was just 15 and was jailed for her murder in 2005.
It has now came to light that KKK killer, James Mitchell is protesting to have Luke cleared.
He posted to Facebook an image of himself in a t-shirt featuring Luke's face, reading "zero evidence" and another of a banner hung near his home which says, "Free Luke. End Police Corruption".
Oddly, he also shared photos of a mannequin dressed as a prison guard wearing a pro-Luke t-shirt.
James was hospitalised and served time in a psychiatric unit in Carstairs State Hospital in South Lanarkshire, after killing his victim.
The convicted killer has been linked to the Klu Klux Klan after claiming to be the organisations leading recruiter in Scotland, he has associated with the racist group for decades and has had dealings with the US-based leaders in Alabama.
He claimed his role was to find young Scots who believe in an all-white Britain and to which at one point there were 5500 people in Scotland "who are members or are going through the membership process".
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.
Ironically, he was hired as an extra in the movie The Jacket, featuring George Clooney and filmed in Scotland, where he spent two days playing a patient with mental health issues.
Jodi Jones' killer Luke Mitchell, who is eligible for parole in 2025, was branded “truly wicked” by Judge Lord Nimmo and jailed for at least 20 years.
Last month, Jodi’s loved ones called his supporters “deluded” over his freedom bid. Police Scotland and the Crown Office previously insisted there had been no miscarriage of justice.
Luke, now 34, has launched several unsuccessful appeals. His legal team believe he could be exonerated by DNA tests, recently claiming at least 10 samples were on Jodi’s body were never tested.
