Re:Bruce Robinson's suspect
Well done, Connors.
I remember reading, probably in the book about her trial, that Florence Maybrick's mother submitted unknown documents to Queen Victoria which had an important bearing on the case. It was after this that Florence Maybrick's sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. And incidentally the judge who presided over the trial died in a lunatic asylum. So the suspect in Robinson's book could possibly be Maybrick.
By sheer coincidence I came across this article last night. I've no idea how old the item is. Its a critical appraisal of a theory put forward by Merseyside author Tom Slemen that Claude Reignier Conder was JtR.
Also at the bottom of the page is a link to a page which gives an excellent overview of the case history and suspects put forward to date.
EDIT: This theory I've since found out is at least 18 months old. So there are probably links further back in this thread.
