Hello all,
Having a major, large hospital in the immediate vicinity of the Whitechapel murders, and the added fact that the suspicion towards a medical man/woman, or the possibility of medical knowledge had been raised... it occured to me that the resident doctors, physicians, nurses et all working in the area must have felt like they were all being looked at with suspicion during the autumn of terror. I wonder how many of these were actually stopped coming from or to their place of work carrying a bag of sorts, and what it must have been like KNOWING they walked the streets possibly carrying knives etc.
This frightening scenario could well have led to the WRONG person, an innocent person, being incarcerated for these murders.
Imagine the compensation claims today?
