that there is considerable question as to Poo's guilt. So did he do it or not? Macklin's criticism appears to be absurd; for example he complains about the lack of forensic ballistics in an 1865 case, when that discipline effectively began in 1915. If
Macklin is a poor quality source then his contribution should be removed - or it should at least be made clear that what he says is probably specious or even disingenuous. OTOH if Poo's conviction is shaky then the article probably should not be written in such a way as to imply throughout that it is sound.

So is it

The article has been considerably expanded, the hook is good, references look good. I believe the author has not yet had 5 DYK nominations so QPQ is not needed yet. As for the content, I see some repeating in the 1st and 2nd paragraph of the Murder and manhunt section, maybe have another look at it.
647:
That definitely sounds like there's not enough information to assume this picture was drawn during Sam Poo's lifetime or at least off his likeness, seeing as its earliest known appearance is some 70 (!) years after his death. Could it be poor/generalized wording on
Macklin's part, especially seeing
