DNA Evidence Reveals Identity jack the ripper

I did that with my checking account once, except it was two decimal places.

It's funny, I was thinking just the other day of popping in here and asking if anyone heard any followup. I was surprised I hadn't heard more hoopla the first time. The first articles I saw on the original DNA test came from the Mirror and Fox News.

Yo.

all this proves is that Kominski had been with a hooker, not that he killed her.

He was a suspect in the Ripper killings, he was insane and his DNA has been found on one of the victims' shawl that she was wearing when she was murdered, along with her blood. That's plenty enough to convict him.

not by todays standards; everything U've just said is circumstantial evidence & merely shows he had apparently got a hummer from the woman.....who WAS a prostitute.

I agree with all of that, except that it makes Kosminski the killer with 99.999 percent certainty.

Jack the Ripper: Scientist who claims to have identified notorious killer has 'made serious DNA error'

----

The scientist, Jari Louhelainen, is said to have made an "error of nomenclature" when using a DNA database to calculate the chances of a genetic match. If true, it would mean his calculations were wrong and that virtually anyone could have left the DNA that he insisted came from the Ripper's victim.

The apparent error, first noticed by crime enthusiasts in Australia blogging on the casebook.org website, has been highlighted by four experts with intimate knowledge of DNA analysis – including Professor Sir Alec Jeffreys, the inventor of genetic fingerprinting – who found that Dr Louhelainen made a basic mistake in analysing the DNA extracted from a shawl supposedly found near the badly disfigured body of Ripper victim Catherine Eddowes.

They say the error means no DNA connection can be made between Kosminski and Eddowes. Any suggestion therefore that the Ripper and Kosminski are the same person appears to be based on conjecture and supposition – as it has been ever since the police first identified Kosminksi as a possible suspect more than a century ago.

*a-HEM*

A decimal in the wrong place and the math falls apart. Me am sad.

Whoa, all this sounds exciting. Never really researched it enough to form my own opinions about who it may have been but I liked the conspiracy angle to cover up a royal having relations with a hooker.

In court, if the evidence has been poorly handled and there's even a chance of it being compromised, it's thrown out. Plain and simple. In the end you'd need a weapon to convict anyone as the killer, or a solid confession. If anyone in the family who has passed it down did so by hand and without rubber gloves, it could've been compromised. Skin flakes in the semen stain that stuck and wore away with time, spit, a sneeze from the other corner of the room it was being kept, anything could've hit the stain in a hundred years.

I like the alien idea and theories on Star Trek, but another mature comic called Beyond Wonderland insisted by the end of the first volume that folks like Hitler and JTR were originally born in Wonderland.

I just saw that episode recently. Great ST moment.

[Tazer]

Yo.

I don't think there's any reason for anyone here of all places to take any of this personally. Nobody here has a personal stake in how the Ripper case turns out. Deep breath. Group hug. Handys for everybody (except Ion who can stick to paying for it).

.......man, screw dem hugs & YOU, ya old fogey: I got 5g's in a bet out in Vegas riding on the outcome of this judgement for the killer to NOT be Kosminski!!

I want you on my next d&d team. You are ruthless. I like that.

Ehh, under the bus you go. If for nothing else, than mocking our interest in the Ripper case.

i'm not mocking it persay i'm just saying why were some here getting all upset at something that happened well over 100 years ago, as if something done today could change that fact

knowing who did or didn't do it won't change a thing one way or another

[Big Daddy Dave Skywalker]

what did i do (except point out how useless all this is cause when ya get down to it at the end of the day no ones going to jail over it )

aliens want intelligent life you really think ion fits that definition?

But dude, what if Ion has all the secrets of the world implanted in his DNA and just doesn't know it? I mean, he could potentially identify the real Jack, the sudden disappearance of the Mayans, and who shot JFK. And most importantly, I want to know if sasquatches are for real.

[TazzMission]

Well, I won't go as far as a New JTR but he could be extra terrestrial. I just pray he's not the head of an alien invasion where me and my dog are gonna have to live in the basement for the rest of our natural lives. Things could get messy. Of he starts talking about black oil and data chip implants in his neck, I'm outtie.
