that beanstalk thingy

according to the jacobson version (yup there are many versions out there), jack as the portrayed protagonist had already butchered the giant - according to wiki, in a murderous rage - before he proceeded back to earth and chopped down the bean stalk.

all good criminals must know how to cover his tracks right? so theoretically the bringing down of the bean stalk should completely banished all the tracks leading jack to the murder and robbery as no one could reach the scene of the crime, ever.

but (as always) there's a flaw. his hands had been stained badly by the giant's blood and unfortunately for him the blood couldn't be washed away because of this weird chemical in it. lucky for jack that didn't matter much as people were maniacally enthralled by his mountains of gold and by that time had already been blinded by their brightness to question, let alone notice jack's red hands.

and as you already know, like the rest of 'em fairy tales 'prince charming', he lived happily ever after. which only means that he was never convicted of the heinous crime. happy ending indeed.
