The M'Naghten Rule provides as follows: "Every man is to be presumed to be sane, and ... that to establish a defense on the ground of insanity, it must be clearly proved that, at the time of the committing of the act, the party accused was laboring under such a defect of reason, from disease of mind, and not to know the nature and quality of the act he was doing; or if he did know it, that he did not know he was doing what was wrong."

Did Sir Melville McNaughten head the Jack The Ripper case?
McNaughten was Chief Constable of the CID at Scotland Yard. Although he did not hire on until after the murder of Mary Kelly, he felt he knew enough about the case to write a book and how he worked the case. He had some 'interesting' theories on the identity of the killer. He was positive that the Ripper must have killed himself after the Kelly murder, based on what evidence nobody could tell.
Was Montague John Druitt linked to any of the Jack the Ripper victims?
No, never. There was never any evidence that Druitt could have been JTR, and the theory may never have come up but for Melville McNaughten in his memoirs. McNaughten was sure that Druitt was JTR but he never had any evidence and in fact Druitt was away from London, teaching at a private school for boys. The trains did not run from London to the school at nights so it would have been impossible for Druitt to have been the murderer and make it back to the school in time for classes. Had McNaughten done a little research he would have found this out and put at least one suspect to 'bed'. This has followed the Driutt family for 140 years and it's time to let it go.

Did Betty Broderick deserve imprisonment?
Betty Broderick was functioning in a diminished capacity for a least a year before the murders. And in fact her first trial ended in a hung jury. They were on the right track. She was frantic and hysterical but he was cruel to the point beyond endurance. They needed some kind of buffer or mediator and maybe this could have been avoided. By the McNaughten Rule which covers insanity defenses one of the criteria is not trying to hide or cover up the crime. And she absolutely hid nothing. I would not classify this insane but diminished capacity. Broderick will be up for parole soon. Time to let her out to pick up the some of the pieces of her life.
