Many ripperologists are very select in using modern day experts to make their suspect cases. But given the social climate of 1888, and the vast advances in medicine and forensics, are the existing files enough for a modern day profession to provide an accurate assessment of the murders? Can a doctor today actually give a useful opinion with the provided info from an 1888 physician? Same for forensics, criminal profiling, etc,. Very interested in opinions and examples.
