    I sense those that think Maybrick was the Ripper are getting more and more desperate.

      Even Observer's come over to the cause.

        Indeed, Ike. After 30+ years of skepticism, the tide has turned.

        The conversion comes quickly--similar to when the apostle Paul was struck blind on the road to Damascus.

        One moment the skeptic is having a cup of tea and a cinnamon bun, flicking idly through Dan Farson's Jack the Ripper (1971), when his eyes grab hold of it.

        It is obvious and unmistakable; the blood rushes to his head, the sky goes white, his entire world tilts.

        Suddenly, it all makes sense. The anagrams. Diego Laurenz. JAmes MaybriCK.

        was blind but now I see

          Either that, or Observer tapped on the wrong button.

            Somewhat obviously, RJ - but, man, he had ONE job!

            (By the way, when we’ve been there ten thousand years, it’ll still be Maybrick.)

              In that case, I guess it's for the best that the participants in this poll aren't a jury.

                I guess so. Otherwise we’d all have to be unanimous. Right?
                A Northern Italian invented Criminology but Thomas Harris surpassed us all. Except for Michael Barrett and his Diary of Jack the Ripper.

                  Can some of us be unanimous, Lombro?

                    My one experience of jury duty, I was the lone holdout on two charges and I changed 11 jurors mind on one of them.

                    One juror said he was an iconoclast. I wasn’t an iconoclast and that was around 2000. I was a Maybrickian and no one can say I was iconoclastic and had an agenda.

                    I may be iconoclastic now but it makes no difference with Maybrick. With the man charged in my case, I regret not being more lenient on him and not siding with the police on all charges.

                      Hey, I'm a red blooded male. I can't multi-task, I was throwing darts at a photograph of Alan Shearer at the time

                        Indeed Mr Palmer. I remember many moons ago looking at that very image, and one thing struck me which few have mentioned. There, smack bang in the middle of the FM I definitely envisioned a capital T. It's hard to make out, but throws a new light on the birthplace of the Whitechapel fiend

                          Maybrick did not write the Diary no matter how much some want it to be true. The Diary was in all likelihood written by the Barretts.

                            Wheato - I think you're confused, that was your Tuesday go-to response.

                            Can we get Monday's, please, as it's one of my favourites?

                              Spot on John.

                              Maybrick did not write the Diary, it's beyond belief any rationa thinkingl human being could consider such a thing. The Diary was in all liklihood written by a man with a pen


                              Apologies for inserting my Friday response, today being Monday of course. I think I'll use my Thursday response tomorrow, just to shake things up

                                Written by a man with a fountain pen and ink without Chloroacetamine.

                                No “in all likelihood” here based on all real evidence.

                                But if the one off doesn’t fit, you must aquit.
