We then have her parading on Whitechapel Road, together with the rest of the ladies of the night who were looking for business. They were ALL in Whitechapel Road, remember? And although we have all of these prostitutes in place, and although we have a stupendously drunk Polly Nichols in their midst, not one of them nor any of their punters, nor anybody else comes forward and says "I saw her"?
You see, your scenario looses a lot in credibility once we add this factor.
Furthermore, would a killer seek out his prey in well lit streets full of potential witnesses or would he prefer to look for them in dark alleyways? What do you think?
So you see, far from it being a case of what I "prefer", it is instead a case of weighing in the facts and keeping a door open for other possibilities that the one you want to cement as the only possible one.
