00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,320 without understanding it at all. 375 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,280 They were chasing Jack the Ripper. 376 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,600 If you are looking for a figure of the Victorian myth, 377 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,760 it is unlikely that you will find it in a lorry driver from Bradford. 378 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,160 APRIL 1981 379 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,440 The trial was expected  in West Yorkshire 380 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,640 where the Ripper committed the murders, 381 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,600 but, due to local sentiment, the courts decided to transfer him 382 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,000 at the Old Bailey in London, 383 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:46,080 scene of some of the most famous and dramatic murder trials. 384 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,120 The Old Bailey, then and now, symbolizes British justice. 385 00:24:54,120 --> 00:24:56,800 He was the most famous assassin 386 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,160 of Great Britain, and he would be tried there, 387 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,760 under that scales of justice. 388 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,400 PLACE TO ATTEND THE PROCESS OF: 389 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,040 THE QUEEN AGAINST PETER WILLIAM SUTCLIFFE 390 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,400 Sutcliffe charged with 1pm murder women denied the murder charges, 391 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,960 but he pleaded guilty of 13 counts of manslaughter 392 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,520 by ability to understand and will. 393 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,040 He was also charged with seven counts of attempted murder 394 00:25:32,120 --> 00:25:33,280 which he admitted. 395 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,600 The court appointed a jury of 12 people, six women and six men 396 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,400 to pronounce on the mystery of the Yorkshire Ripper, 397 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,760 the reasons why the truck driver Peter William Sutcliffe killed 13 women 398 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,440 and tried to kill seven more. 399 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,800 The immense public interest in the case of the Ripper 400 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,520 was evident to the court London Central Criminal. 401 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,120 Last night a queue formed, while people from all over Britain, 402 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,800 including some from Yorkshire, 403 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,280 they braved the cold and rain in the hope to sit in the gallery 404 00:26:02,360 --> 00:26:04,040 Some spent the night here. 405 00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:06,040 A man was there for two days. 406 00:26:06,120 --> 00:26:08,920 Measures have been taken of extraordinary security 407 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:13,200 to avoid excessive manifestation of hatred 408 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,120 noted at the time of the arrest. 409 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,720 Security organized outside from the Old Bailey. 410 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,640 The police checks the identity of those who want to assist in the case. 411 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,840 Since this morning, there were twice as many people 412 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,320 compared to public places to participate in the case. 413 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:39,960 Peter Sutcliffe is guilty. 414 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,120 The process should not take long, 415 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:46,600 there is the unknown of inability to understand and want, 416 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,040 but only one certainty: he will not be sentenced to death. 417 00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:54,960 The Trial of Peter William Sutcliffe it has finally begun. 418 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,640 In the courtroom, the officials they prepared the finds 419 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:04,040 including several hammers, knives, screwdrivers and a hacksaw. 420 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:12,000 In the first two days we talked about this what he had said in the interrogations 421 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,160 in the most terrible and shocking details. 422 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:17,360 WOUNDS UP TO 20 CM DEEP 423 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:18,640 WOUNDS WITH STAR SCREWDRIVER 424 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,080 But the gallery is public it was full of relatives 425 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,800 and survivors, and they had to listen. 426 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,640 FRENETIC KNIFEING 427 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,520 HE KEPT MOANING 428 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:39,320 The atmosphere only changed when Sutcliffe went to the stand. 429 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,560 It was eight minutes to 12 when the defense lawyer, 430 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,360 James Chadwin, 431 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,880 announced he wanted to call Sutcliffe in the witness box. 432 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,080 There was a lot of tension. 433 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,840 Everyone seemed agitated. 434 00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:08,880 There would have been the possibility to hear the man himself. 435 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:10,680 I remember perfectly 436 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,520 that the court was in total silence. 437 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:19,080 Everyone wanted to catch every word what this man was about to say. 438 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,800 Sutcliffe said that his mission to kill  439 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,320 it began here at Bingley Cemetery 440 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,640 where as a teenager he worked as an undertaker. 441 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,680 "I was standing in an open grave to rest from digging. 442 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,800 STATEMENT OF PETER SUTCLIFFE (READ BY ALAN WHITEHOUSE) 443 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,200 I heard a voice 444 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,360 similar to a human voice, 445 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,240 but with confusing words. 446 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,960 It looked like it came from a tombstone. 447 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,520 I climbed up and I headed towards the tomb. 448 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,680 It seemed wonderful to me. 449 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,600 I believed, and I still believe today, that it was the voice of God. 450 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:11,840 I looked down into the valley 451 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,960 and I thought of paradise, to the Earth and the universe... 452 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,720 and how insignificant we all are. 453 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,640 But I felt so important. 454 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,520 Because I had been chosen to hear the word of God." 455 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,120 He said he heard voices 456 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:40,080 come from the gravestones that told him to kill every prostitute. 457 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,360 Their thesis arrived to the conclusion that... 458 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:46,320 he was crazy. 459 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,640 The first of the three psychiatrists published a list of 19 signs and symptoms, 460 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:56,040 who gave him the diagnosis ending of paranoid schizophrenia. 461 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:05,120 There was psychiatric evidence of these three illustrious men... 462 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,320 all passed the witness stand and... 463 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,480 they said it was a paranoid schizophrenic. 464 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,000 You could see the police were furious about this. 465 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:18,720 They saw... 466 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,880 Peter Sutcliffe leave towards a rather comfortable existence, 467 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,040 in a maximum security department, not in a real prison. 468 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,640 The motives for the murder they are many and varied, 469 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,400 and often the most bizarre 470 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,200 they come forward when an accused is brought to trial. 471 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,800 Like today at the Old Bailey in London 472 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,920 where a jury must decide Peter Sutcliffe's sanity, 473 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,360 the man called the Yorkshire Ripper. 474 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,160 CRAZY OR BAD? 475 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,920 The prosecution's task was to dismantle this thesis. 476 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,640 Justice Boreham told the jury that if they had not accepted 477 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,160 the story Sutcliffe felt the voice of God, 478 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,320 had to be judged guilty of murder. 479 00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:58,840 LIAR OR CRAZY? 480 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,320 There were a lot of stories going around 481 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:06,280 about whether he had the knowledge to simulate paranoid schizophrenia. 482 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,120 Also because his wife Sonia had received a diagnosis 483 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,120 with the same conditions, a few years earlier. 484 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,120 In his report, Dr. Milne revealed that a time 485 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,720 Sonia too he had suffered from schizophrenia. 486 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,200 Even though she recovered, 487 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,240 the doctor said he found, during his three interviews 488 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:28,160 who was sensitive, very tense, unstable and obsessed with cleanliness. 489 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,440 He would have known the symptoms. He knew how to fake them. 490 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,000 He would have known how to deceive or try to deceive psychiatrists. 491 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,760 In his experience, someone can successfully fake symptoms 492 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,120 of an acute psychiatric illness, 493 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,160 not just with one doctor, but more than three?
