Does anyone study Julia Wallace Murder?

In this murder case, "The Police formed the theory that a mackintosh, which was unexplainedly found under Julia's corpse, had in fact been used by a naked Wallace to shield himself from blood spatter while committing the crime." (William Herbert Wallace, Wikipedia.)

I have heard of it. There is some good information and threads at Jack the Ripper Casebook and JtR Forums. Since it is a British murder it becomes part of the conversation. You can access any of the information on those sites without being a member. I am a member of JtR Forums. Those sites are good places for the subject as various British~and other~crimes are discussed there. Lizzie has also been mentioned. Howard Brown at Forums posts a lot of newspaper clippings on all kings of things. There was one on Lizzie from a paper at the time that said there was so little evidence against her they ought to let her go. I would have shared that here but I am so cyber-stupid. I also can't absorb all the information here so I wouldn't always know if something had already been posted here. When I first began posting here the search engine didn't work for me. Guess it wasn't working for a while. Works fine now.

There is a new comment on Jack The Ripper Forum about Julia Wallace. Apparently a new book is coming out on the subject.
