[edit] Summary

Unknown author. From source - http://www.strangerinblood.co.uk/ - whose owner Pamela Cullen assures me is it is public domain. Even if it is copyrighted, I believe it would come under fair use since it is a press photo of John Bodkin Adams after being acquitted for murder in a celebrated case in 1957. Its use here is valid to illustrate the article and doesn't degrade the value of the original photo. Malick78 17:21, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
