Maybrick Diary - Fake or Genuine

[Herlock Sholmes]

The poll couldn’t be simpler. Is it real or not.

[Lombro2]

What? No jury selection?

[Herlock Sholmes]

I’ll ask again….have you ever on any forum anywhere at any time said something sensible?

[Sam Flynn]

I'd say that "forgery" is too flattering a term for this obvious hoax, but I voted for it anyway.

[Herlock Sholmes]

Totally agree Gareth.

[Iconoclast]

Just to be absolutely clear here - I won't be voting.

Unless you are willing to add in the 5,700 people who rang in to LWT in 2001 to say they thought James Maybrick was the Whitechapel murderer?

If those 15,000 callers had known about the March 9, 1992 double event, I wonder how high that 5,700 would be now?

[Lombro2]

You're the one who said juries decide verdicts. Juries are selected by prosecution and defense. But I guess James bought the court. Another rigged jury.

Or if those people had any knowledge at all of the Whitechapel Murders?

They do…in real courts.

[Lombro2]

Yeah. They also send tens of thousands of innocent people to jail every century.

Ike, you should vote. Jay, Scott and I are the only approved jurors and the Judge and yourself have a vote.

So if you vote, we automatically win and they can’t talk ever again. Them’s the rules we agreed on.

[Herlock Sholmes]

I can only assume that an error has been made because one of the two votes for genuine has come from someone who has until very recently been someone who believes the diary to be a fake

[Iconoclast]

There is no way on God’s good earth that Observer meant to vote ‘Genuine’.

[Herlock Sholmes]

I thought not
