Were Lechmere and Paul a team

[Daveshredder]

Is it possible that Lechmere and Paul were both the guilty party and that could account for time discrepancy?

Crossed my mind.

like one or two ,

Folie à deux exist, but I don't think this theory holds up. Why would they have talked to PC Mizen at all instead of just continuing their walk to work? And if they knew each other, that would be hard to conceal from all of their family, friends, and neighbors. It would raise alarm bells after they both testified at the inquest about not knowing each other. And the time of deaths for Chapman, Stride, and Eddowes don't match well with either man's work schedule.

That raises another possible reason why Lechmere might have omitted his real name when he gave evidence. Perhaps some would have made the connection between two carmen, one named Paul and one named Lechmere. The possibilities are almost endless.

Put to bed by post #3. Good work!

Obviously they talked to Mizen because they were brazen psychopaths incapable of feeling fear who made the brilliant decision to alibi themselves as decent citizens who alerted the police, because as we’ve been reliably informed guilty people are always better off identifying themselves to the police in order to control the situation instead of slinking silently into the darkness because they would consider it too risky if they were recognized later by the authorities as the men who would invariably have passed by the body without raising the alarm which would raise suspicion and invite further inquiries into their sordid pasts, all of which would be avoided by scamming Mizen into not questioning them by appealing to his sense of duty and urgency by informing him of the presence of a dead or wounded woman, sending him on his way but of course later using every opportunity to question his judgment and behavior.
There’s no reason their friends, family or neighbors would know of their friendship or would the know correct details of their friendship because psychopaths who decide to kill on their way to work would of course have instilled such fear and repulsion in their daily social circle that not even their spouses would have the courage to question them or indeed be allowed to know anything about their activities, besides which these criminal masterminds could of course have called each other by different names so as to mask their relationship to any outsiders, because we can easily imagine something like that so we should assume that is what happened.
Their work schedule is unknown and therefore likely to include ample free time in which to commit crimes.

I raise a practical question at this point. Are we going to do Stonehenge tomorrow?

That depends. Are we for or against?

Is this a joke? Because it's a frankly ludicrous suggestion.
