“Is there any rule saying that I cannot choose what lenght I want to use?”
“There is a very weak suggestion that he somehow would have thought it tactical to leave her out.”
“It is - since nothing really does” (argue against your theory).
“but the fact of the matter is that neither you nor nobody else has offered anything at all that goes to show that I am wrong in my suggestion. You may THINK that you have, but you have not. There´s a name for it...”
“If he was told that the Astrakhan man hunt was off, then the obvious thing to do would be what? Exactly - ask the question why. And what reason would the police have not to tell him?”
“There may not have been coloured drawing pins - but Abberline would have kept track of where the different people were in Dorset Street that night.”
“Hutchinson went TO THE COURT! He did NOT post outside Crossinghams! He also fills in that he stood "there" for about three quarters of an hour".”
The only reason he left the area from the corner of Miller’s Court is because, as per his claim, he went into the court itself but saw no light and detected no noise from within. Since this was so obviously his impetus for aborting his vigil in anticipation of them coming out again, it equally obviously follows that he left the corner of Miller’s Court upon returning from inside the court at 3.00am. If you want to conclude that he stood rooted to the “northern” side of Dorset Street for 45 minutes, you’re welcome, but this is not admitted by the evidence, and it’s only common sense to infer that “waiting” individuals tend not to stay rooted like statues to any one particular spot for as long as 45 minutes. To place Hutchinson in such a statue-like trance at one specific location for that duration necessitates a dogmatic an unimaginative approach to evidence assessment.
“The only resonable conclusion is that the two men were not one and the same. It is unescapabl”
