[edit] Who is Michael Barrett?

In the article, Michael Barrett shows up in the very last paragraph -- who is he, and in what connection is he to Maybrick?

A little introduction would be nice... -- Syzygy 20:06, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I've done some checking up. He is the guy who owns the 'diary'. His first story is that a man gave it to him in a pub.

Barnett doesn't own the diary. He sold it (not just the rights to the story but also the physical item) to the publisher. Victrix 02:38, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Barnett alleged at the time that the man who gave him the diary in the pub was an electrician who had carried out work on Battlecrease House and had discovered the diary when he had lifted floorboards to get at some wiring. --User:Snedger 22.59, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alleged Forgery

the suggestion that it is all a forgery is ridiculous. how could the forger have such great knowlegde of the effect of taking arsenic and the pain from posining. and have the knowledge of how a serial killer thinks to write the darn thing. proposterous to sugegst its a hoax. also about the watch, also proposterous...i cbf going into it any more i just thought it was shambles that after looking it up wikipedia has it all appearing like it must ahve been a hoax. angryness at the patheticness.
