Michael Eddowes : ウィキペディア英語版 | Michael Eddowes
Michael H. B. Eddowes (1903—1992) was a British lawyer, author and investigator. Eddowes came from a family of barristers and built a large law practice specializing in divorce. ==Timothy Evans== Eddowes' first famous case involved Timothy Evans, who was hanged in 1950 for the murder of his daughter. Eddowes wrote a book on this case called ''The Man On Your Conscience'' in which he argued that the real culprit was serial killer John Christie. It was because of Eddowes' efforts and those of other such as Ludovic Kennedy and Sydney Silverman that the case was reinvestigated and Evans was issued a posthumous pardon. The outcry over this case helped to lead to the abolition of the death penalty in the United Kingdom. Curiously, many years later his son John published a book which argued against his father's claims that Evans had been innocent. "A disreputable crank," Eddowes also involved himself in the Jack Profumo scandal of 1963.〔Richard Davenport-Hines, ''An English Affair: sex, class and power in the Age of Profumo'',HarperPress, 2013, p. 276〕
