Posthumous Pardon

Post by scooter » Tue Dec 08, 2009 10:38 am

Today - "Dr Crippen's relative fails in bid to secure pardon"

I Like that the court considered a 'a second cousin three times removed' to not be a "properly interested person"! :D

Hello Scott,

Jimmy Crippen should be grateful for all that’s happened. He probably would have had an incredibly dull family history if the good or otherwise Doctor hadn’t been framed or whatever. I wonder if he has any theories as to what really happened to Cora?

Where else to read about it than at http://drcrippen.co.uk/

All the best,
Alan
