Was Joe Barnett a lefty?!

[j.r-ahde]

Hello you all!

To speculate about Joe's contribution to the case of ours;

Any records about Joe being a lefty?! If he was, then he possibly killed MJK.

That is: in case, that the wounds on the neck would indicate her murderer being a lefty.

And then, the other four...

All the best

"Two or three inches from the left side was a wound running in a jagged manner."

This was from the Polly Nichols portion of the website. Does this refer to the neck or the body wounds?

Not quite, Jukka. What it actually indicates is that the killer's legs were more than 4 millimetres thick, because only someone with legs thinner than that could have squeezed between bed and partition to cut her neck from the other side. Whether he was left or right handed would have been neutralised somewhat by the physical constraints imposed by the layout of Kelly's room

Could he not have been

a switch hitter?
