The name's Bond

[DJA]

Given that he carried chalk immediately before the start of the teaching term,do you reckon that like Prosector he was an anatomy teacher!

I go with the people who did the autopsies and Prosector ,who taught surgery

Hi C.D.
He makes a false statement.We all know there is evidence of anatomical knowledge shown by the killer,but he is trying to tell us otherwise and it's not true

We don't all know that.

Some hold that opinion, others don't.

[DJA]

I'm an expert in financial advise

Hello Elmore,

It is common nowadays to have trials where both sides present expert witnesses all of whom have impeccable credentials and who come to completely different conclusions. It doesn't necessarily imply that someone is lying. They are simply giving their opinions.

You seem to be concluding that Bond was lying simply because you don't agree with his opinions.

c.d.

I would suspect that someone of bonds stature would not have to take the risk of killing and mutilating out on the streets.

Hi Abby,he may have done both,indoors and out.Psychopaths don't conform to our expectations,their mentality is outside of normal peoples experience.They have a capacity for violence that is dreadful,really scary.If I'm right(and I'm confident I am) we have a psychopath running about with an amputation knife,who could kill in the blink of an eye

I don't want to get into a big thing about this because the court will have to decide the validity of their defense. But if I am asked what is the best movie ever made and I say "in my opinion" it is X. How can any answer I give be wrong? I agree that if you are being paid that there needs to be some basis for your opinion but ultimately you are still giving an opinion. You are being paid to give an opinion whether that opinion turns out to be right or wrong is another matter.

c.d.

But the issue is was the opinion given negligently and did a loss flow from same so if I hold out I'm an expert in financial advise, tell you to invest in X, when even the most cursory of checks would show X is on the brink, or your lawyer tells you that in his opinion there is no need to do a title search, when any competent lawyer would do one, and then charge you for that advice, I'm open to a law suit. That's why professionals carry professional indemnity insurance.

But yeah probably off topic and a rather complicated area of law.

[c.d.]

Yes it is, but if being paid and holding out expertise you can be sued over an opinion, such as those financiers mentioned earlier.

Hello GUT,

Even if you are being paid, it is still an opinion is it not?

His 'opinion' is based on the other doctors work.It's not possible to come to that conclusion truthfully.Take another look at the Mylett case,what is most likely,a garotting or a dodgy collar?Look at the Chipperfield case under the Bond being Bond thread. Riding roughshod over other doctors opinions is part of his MO,it would seem.If his TOD for Kelly is accepted who does it point to?

Hi Elmore
why would someone of Bonds stature have to take the risk to kill and mutilate on the streets? Surely someone with his werewithall could have done It in a private location? No?

[DJA]

Thomas Bond was born in 1841, which would make him forty seven at the time of the Ripper kilings, a bit elderly for Jack, surely?

Nope.

Jack was 53.

I once had a philosophy teacher saying that science is the opposite of opinion.
