Sickert, Powerpoint

That's good Aimee, are you going to say the stuff about how he couldn't have had a penis deformity as had a son and she couldn't possibly find any DNA in the paintings? We could have a beginning bit where you talk about Cornwell and I can talk about Sickert then move on to a bit about why people want Cornwell to be right and why people want it to be Sickert. We can also say why we think Cornwell wrote the book; greed, ego...
For the PowerPoint I've got a few facts about Sickert to introduce who he is

Walter Richard Sickert Born May 31 1860 in Munich, Germany. Died 1942 in Bath, England.

He was an English Impressionist painter who favoured urban scenes and ordinary people as his subjects.

He was obsessed with Jack The Ripper and claimed he once lodged in a room that was previously occupied by Jack.

He was first accused as being a reluctant accessory by Stephen Knight in his film 'The Final Solution'.

I have a picture of him wearing a bowler hat, like Jack the Ripper so that would look good on the PowerPoint next to his name. Anyway, hope every ones works going well.
