Kosminski and Victim DNA Match on Shawl

[Jeff Leahy]

Hi Mick,

Tread carefully.

Take a look at who is mentioned in RE's acknowledgements.

Regards,Simon

Yeah lets all make a conspiracy theory… tosh

[Tom_Wescott]

Exactly Tom. The "I proved it" when he clearly hasn't yet is what makes this a fraudulent claim. Lots of people keep saying it's not fraud....but that's a fraudulent claim!!! It is fraud by definition!!
It's not the he faked the DNA...it's that he faked what the DNA amounts to in the media.

I don't think that's the definition of fraud. To be fraud, Edwards would have to know that what he was selling wasn't true, and I've seen no evidence that he faked anything or doesn't believe that what he's saying is true. He's just overstated his case.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

Not really what I was hoping for, certainly.

Yes Chris and Debs, it's not really informative for us.

[Jeff Leahy]

Hello Jeff. Thanks.

"They are, you only require an A to Z. Perhaps we should all chip in and send a copy?"

But I should think that, with his new found wealth, Mr. Edwards could afford to buy his own copy?

Cheers.

Come on Lynn… I just have lost the mojo to argue. Read the book. Take it all on board, and come to a conclusion.
If your half the per on I think you are we'll await everyone else's findings..

In the mean tine we;ll have comment but probably kept to a minimum as we are old gits…hping I'm not the JL in question?

I know Simon, but thanks anyway.

Hi Robert,

To paraphrase—

Jari wasn't aware how famous the mystery was and was surprised by its widespread interest.

Please tell me you are having a laugh.

Regards,

Simon

[Robert]

I don't think Jari set out to be the man who named JTR. He wasn't aware how famous the mystery was and was surprised by the widespread interest.

I can understand why pioneering a never before used technique (because of vial sample loss) to isolate and remove single cells, fixed on a slide, by laser, and then get a usable DNA sequence from one of them is more his priority to be recognised for, to be honest.

[mickreed]

But the "I've proved the Ripper's identity beyond doubt" days should now be behind us. Or don't you agree?

And that's all some of us are complaining about. Frankly I'm astounded that prominent participants in this discussion, including people who've written some of the very best books on this topic, seem to be saying things along the lines of 'what's wrong with believing stuff and saying it loudly?', to which the answer is 'bugger all', but that is not what RE is saying.

If he said, 'Look, here's my theory, and here's how I arrive it', then that's fine. But he's not. He's saying, unambiguously, 'I have cracked this case'. And I've seen him in interviews saying it even more strongly to the effect that anyone who disagrees is a bigot or an idiot.

That says to me that the bloke is not to be taken seriously.

[Chris]

I get the feeling this is what is important to JL?

Hi Lynn,

You are seriously wicked.

Addressed to Kosminski? Not specifically, yet remarkably apropos.

It's like the old story—

We call our budgerigar Onan because he keeps spilling his seed.

Regards,

Simon

[RockySullivan]

Hello Simon.

"Get a grip."

Addressed to Kosminski, perhaps? (heh-heh)

Cheers.

[pinkmoon]

None of this is true because the shawl could never have been at any of the murder sites.

[lynn cates]

correct

Hello WW.

"Edward Stow"

You spelled his name correctly. You know him then?

Cheers.
