To fully understand our first suspect and why he is being considered we must examine his background. George Chapman was born in the 1865, his father who was a carpenter apprenticed him to a senior surgeon where he began a career in being a surgeon. Some sources claim that he would later go on to succeeded in becoming a junior surgeon while another claims he failed. The same goes for when he arrived in London whether it be in sometime in 1888 or the month of June in 1887 but hospitals fees paid by him indicates that he was still in Poland and most likely arrived between February or march of 1888. He would later take up a job at a barber job where he would later marry Lucy Baderski but would come to find out that he was already married to a
As I viewed the case of Gary L. Sampson, 41, he can best be described as a man dependent on liquor and cocaine, a miscreant father, and a bank burglar with a long history of brutality. On August 1, 2001, he handed himself over to the Vermont State Police in the wake of escaping from interest for a string of three killings he submitted in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The individuals who knew Sampson estimated that his homicides were an urgent finale to a pained life. Amid his initial life in New England, he once bound, choked, and beat three elderly ladies in a treat store. He had commandeered autos at knifepoint and was therapeutically analyzed as schizophrenic. In 1977, he wedded a 17-year-old young lady he had impregnated; after two months, he was captured and accused of assault for having "unnatural intercourse with a
At the age of 21 Mr Gittany was convicted of two offences of receiving stolen property and assaulting a police office in the execution of his duty and malicious wounding. He was sentenced to a total of 2.5 years to be served by periodic detention. The circumstances of the assault and malicious wounding was on 23 March 1993 two police officers attended Mr Gittany’s home after he failed to appear at Parramatta Local Court in relation to the two charges of receiving stolen property and on being told the purpose of the visit Mr Gittany became agitated and during a struggle he bit Detective Constable Bristow on the ear severing a portion of it.

FACTS: In a hearing concerning a motion to suppress admission of evidence, Cleveland Detective Martin McFadden described an incident where he was patrolling downtown Cleveland on the afternoon of October 31, 1963. During patrol, McFadden noted two men at the corner of Huron and Euclid, who for some indefinable reason, attracted his attention. Although McFadden was unable to express precisely what it was that drew his attention concerning the men, the habits and intuition of over 30 years of observation and detective work were sufficient to engage his interest and have him settle in to observe the men more keenly (Justia, 2015).
George Jones passed away back in May 2013. He was an extremely talented country singer and songwriter.

On Saturday, December 1, 1900, a man named John Hossack was killed in his sleep with a hatchet by his wife, Margaret Hossack. The story told by Margaret was that she had heard what sounded like two boards banging together and by that time the attacker had fled and she didn’t catch a glimpse of him. The next thing she saw was her extremely wounded husband, John, who had a five-inch cut into his head and a fractured skull. A doctor, who came and examined John, and said there was no hope and John died the next morning. As an investigation started, a burglary was thought of as the first motive but the idea flawed because nothing was stolen so the idea was quickly abandoned. In the 4 days between the murder and the funeral, the police talked to
After observing the trial of Mr. Sanger Rainsford, many concerns arose for me. There was quite a bit of information proposed by the prosecution that seemed
These episodes of arresting people in the hospital are questioned because they are arrested following the existing records in the hospitals according to the book. Also there are problems in the book which involve the arresting of Tim which have also received a lot of criticism in the book (Newcomb, 2014). In the two incidences, it is appropriate to argue it out that Goffman did not heed her own advice and also she missed out important details about the unfolding of all the events in the book and how that evidence got lost along the way in the book. This shows that that the book touches on some of the main points without giving detailed information about the
Alongside this, the police thought the same, as they provided great emphasis to the testimony of Mrs Long. She, although having only seen the back of the man who was last seen with the second Whitechapel victim Annie Chapman, repeatedly asserted that he was 'foreign in appearance'. However, the police had only very limited description provided by her, which makes the integrity behind the circulation of sketches of the supposed foreign killer, questionable. This was an official report by Chief Inspector Swanson, on the 19th of October, 1888. Also, the mind-set of this time was that if a Victorian had been behind these crimes, he must had been a mad Englishman 'to act like a foreigner' (Rumblelow, 1988: 108). In 1888 the police released sketches of supposed Whitechapel murder suspects, in a desperate attempt to find the killer. The men in the sketches have an undeniably exaggerated Jewish appearance; however, the interesting subtext is that they were released even though there had never been, and never would be, an eye-witness to provide an accurate, detailed description of the
Watson tells his partner, Henry Thompson, that he escaped prosecution because ''I had a good reputation with the merchants, quiet church-going man who paid his bills, and so the local papers took my side...No decent American is going to believe that a man who pays his bills is a common criminal, no matter what!'' This shows a theme that was common around those times and can still be seen today in modern civilization.
1. Type of Homicide On 21 October 2013 Simon Gittany stood charged with the murder of Lisa Harnum. It was alleged that on the morning of Saturday 30 July Mr Gittany deliberately threw Ms Harnum off the 15th floor balcony of the apartment they shared (R v Gittany, 2013).
Despite many Western countries having strong law systems and firm roots in Christianity, it might seem peculiar to think they also are obsessed with murder. From Nancy Drew to the TV shows Murder, She Wrote and How to Get Away With Murder, murder and crime investigation have become bestsellers in Western societies. There is just something intriguing about a good “whodunnit” crime, a good mystery that cannot be solved or explained, regardless of how many people and years have been spent speculating on it. In England, one of the most popular unexplained homicide cases is none other than the infamous 1888 murders of Jack the Ripper. While the killer was never found and convicted of the murders, several conspiracy theories have emerged over the years concerning Jack the Ripper’s identity and the motive behind the gruesome slayings.
I have not attempted to identify a named suspect as a consequence of my conclusions. In the course of an objective appraisal it is quite wrong to start with a suspect and then attempt to make the facts fit as so many later day investigators have done. Such an approach unavoidably leads to a skewed interpretation. I have, however, given a broad idea as to the type of man that Jack the Ripper may have been, and although such a summary may be of use to others, it lies firmly in the realm of
Firstly we know much more about the victims than the police did at that time. Two, Mary Kelly and Francis Coles were attractive young
This brings us to the second issue to be outlined, that is Mr Hughes crimes. Aside from a charge of break and enter as a child, another charge regarding sexual relations with a juvenile when he himself was a juvenile, and at the age of twenty-two, convictions for false pretences, theft and drug use, Mr Hughes has managed to remain crime free regardless of his drug addictions. Also, until the most recent crimes, Mr Hughes has never served a prison term. Thus in view of these facts, the court regards this as an insignificant criminal record considering Mr Hughes current age.
“Imagine there’s No Heaven” is a letter written by Salman Rushdie who is a British Indian novelist and essayist. He is an atheist and is known for his unflinching criticism of religion. Rushdie contributed this letter to a UN-sponsored anthology, addressed to the six-billionth human child who was expected to be born that year. He attempts to discuss and answer two fundamental questions of life. “How did we get here? And, now that we are here, how shall we live?” However he diverts from his central thesis and most of his text malign and smear all religions while the two questions go almost completely unanswered. His tone is demeaning, scornful and he presents religious beliefs as being ridiculous. He makes absolute statements without any
