This, Ben, is where I am having all sorts of trouble trying to make ends meet. If a testimony is blatantly, obviously, ridiculously and terminally wrong, and if that is something that is beyond help, then I say that Abberline would have laughed Hutch out of his office.
To my mind, though, the man who killed Kelly would not cook up a story and deliver it to the police himself in such a fashion. But that is just based on my picture of who the Ripper
Hi Monty,
As the inquest had finished prior to Hutchinson coming forward then it was hard for him to attend.
I don't assume. I examine the evidence, and where the evidence tells me an unlikely "coincidence" occured, I'm going to explore it and arrive at conclusions based on intferential probability. His coming forward and admitting to loitering near the crime scene at 2:30 the moment it became public knowledge that someone had seen a man doing precisely that is too much of a coincidence to simply brush aside as unrelated.
Its no secret that I question his statement, however I do have beef with those who dismiss it and state that he lied based on conjecture and supposition
Regards,
Ben
