AOG @ 09.49; "Dr. Crippen murdered his wife". No he didn't. He's since been proved innocent, due to DNA. His descendants have requested a pardon from the British Govt, and the return of his remains to the USA. The British Govt have refused both, saying it was too long ago to affect anything now. It has been claimed that Crippen was "fitted up" by a an investigating officer because the police knew that Crippen was performing illegal abortions at the time. Crippens' wife was later known to be living in New York after he had been hanged for her murder. In his last letter before his execution, Crippen wrote: "I believe that at some point in the future, forensic methods of detection will be forthcoming, that will prove my innocence". A man wrongly convicted and still talked about with horror, yet innocent.
