	An over-celebrated pathologist - Telegraph An over-celebrated pathologist - Telegraph
		Spilsbury was a plodder at university and in the lab, but his work rate was phenomenal: he was ambidextrous, and the image of him two-handedly foraging in dead flesh is one of the most striking in Rose's biography.
		Part of Spilsbury's genius was to translate the language of the laboratory into accurate laymen's terms; jury members appreciated this courtesy, were dazzled by his charisma, and tended to convict on his say-so.
		Spilsbury should be assessed by the standards of his day, as Rose warns: "He must not be judged with the wisdom of hindsight." Rose reveals that by the early 1930s some experts were already concerned about him.

	Review: The Father of Forensics by Colin Evans \| Review \| guardian.co.uk Books
		Thanks to Spilsbury's painstaking work, the prosecution was able to convince the jury that the few handfuls of rotting flesh and tufts of hair discovered in Crippen's coal cellar were indeed the last remains of his missing wife, Belle Elmore.
		Spilsbury was "not at all the stereotypical mortuary habitué".
		Spilsbury was confronted with a "human jigsaw puzzle" when he arrived: "Inside the fiber trunk lay a headless human body, obviously female, minus the limbs.

		Sir Bernard Henry Spilsbury was a British pathologist.
		Spilsbury is still widely regarded as the father of modern pathology.
		In 2004, a Blue Plaque was put up in London to celebrate "the most brilliant scientific detective of all time."

	Evans, Colin: THE FATHER OF FORENSICS
		Bernard Spilsbury (1877-1947) achieved high standing with judges and juries through a precision in postmortem examinations previously absent from British police procedure.
		Yet Spilsbury was not an automatic shill for the prosecution, according to author Evans.

	Lethal witness: How legendary pathologist Bernard Spilsbury's evidence was often fatally flawed \| Mail Online
		With his customary delight in detail, Spilsbury informed the court that his dissection of her stomach proved that before she died, Emilienne had enjoyed a dinner of soup, a small piece of veal, a vegetable and half a portion of macaroni.
		Spilsbury had taken blood samples from the butcher's slaughterhouse, subjecting them to tests that had become available the previous year which made it possible to distinguish between human and animal blood.
		Spilsbury - famous for his homophobia - remained silent despite suspecting the truth, convinced as he was that the soldier was a sexual pervert who should have been left to his fate.

	The great misleader
		Sir Bernard Spilsbury was the most eminent British forensic pathologist of his day, which is to say from Dr Crippen to the outbreak of the second war.
		Spilsbury was an aloof, emotionally detached man with few friends, who at best was correct in his manner.
		Spilsbury is accused of straying well beyond his expertise in the case of the prosecution of an abortionist (he had no special obstetrical experience), yet is praised when he does precisely the same in a case against a doctor whose obstetrical incompetence lead to the death of a working-class woman from eclampsia.

	MQ MAGAZINE Issue 16 - Historic: Sherlock Holmes incarnate
		Bernard Spilsbury, born in Bath in January 1877, could trace his family association with medicine as far back as the late 17th century.
		His disciplinarian father, James Spilsbury, and his churchgoing mother, Marion Joy of Stafford, moved to Leamington in 1876, where their four children were born.
		Bernard was the eldest and destined to become a doctor, not least because it was the wish of his father — and his father was a strong-willed man. With his brother Leonard and sisters Constance and Gertrude, Bernard was tutored until the age of 12, when the family moved to London.
