People should remember Ruth made no attempt to flee the scene of the crime,had no regrets about the killing and was quite prepared to face the death penalty. While she no doubt had a rough life,she wasn't married to Blakely and could have left him at anytime.

(cont'd.from previous statement) Ruth was abused by the creep, but there is a part of me that deplorably feels little sympathy for Ruth since at the time of the murder she was involved Desmond Cussen and had returned to Mr.Blakely shortly after their relationship had ended, how could she be so foolish as to go back to a man who abused her? Also, why didn't she listen to her lawyers advice and just toned down her appearance, more than likely she would have received a reprieve sort of speak.

It wasn’t about rights. She was tormented by her boyfriend and she took revenge on him. It was more on the imbalance of law at the time. She didn’t do it out of cold murder It was mental torment that made her carry out the act. I believe she would have got 8 years for this act now because of the harm caused by the abuse from her boyfriend. It was self defence in away. It wasn’t predetermined. She had enough of him. And the law was simply out dated to reflect on the complexity of the case.

Keith from my understanding from what I've read, she more than likely would've received a reprieve as opposed to the death sentence and execution had she just listened to her lawyers advice and played down her appearance "but Ruth was determined to have her moment of stardom. To many in the courthouse, probably including the jury, she came across as a hard-faced tart. The defense had desperately wanted a very different impression to be created: a bewildered, emotionally crippled victim.

Murderers are "rabid" in that they can never escape their responsibility for taking an innocent person's life. Life for a life is the ONLY answer & NOT a lifetime of confinement that includes, TV, hobbies, games etc. DEATH is the only answer for one who has stolen the life of their victim(s).

@LePrince1890

It is believed that the reason Ruth was not given a reduced (life imprisonment) sentence was due to the fact that when she fired her gun at her lover (and at the trial she admitted she wanted to kill him) she wounded a passerby (a woman) in the hand. This supposedly displayed reckless endangerment to third parties. They still debate her guilt, as well as that of Edith Thompson and Florence Maybrick, and Mrs. Maybrick was given a reduced sentence.
@kevincoombes5949
@kevincoombes5949 3 года назад
Ian McClellan: Ruth Ellis fired a revolver outside the Magdela and got the front wall of the pub. She had been given the gun by Desmond Cussen, who drove her there. Cussen was almost certainly the killer, having positioned himself downhill from the pub, round the curve in the road, the direction in which Blakely fled from Ruth. Cussen was almost certainly involved with the security services and the Ellis case was really to do with covering up the indiscretions of the Duke of Edinburgh, a regular at the club Ruth managed.

Jeffrey Dahmer wasn't sentenced to death or executed (there is no death penalty in the state of Wisconsin), but was murdered by a fellow prisoner. It's nonsense to say that there is no other "solution" to the likes of homicidal psychopaths like Bundy, when the truth is that these people are clearly sick. Even if the death penalty wasn't intrinsically barbaric and evil itself, it obviously fails to deter maniacs like Bundy (who I'll concede are clearly beyond redemption). What we need is a better way of diagnosing such people before they commit their crimes.

NO! ANYONE ANY HUMAN FROM ANY ERA OR ANY CULTURE IN ALL OF THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD, HAS NO RIGHT TO KILL ANOTHER THERE IS NO EXCUSE OR REASON WHY THAT IS NOT TRUE. EXECUTION IS THE STATE MURDERING ! EVEN IF THE CRIMINAL DESERVED TO BE DEAD , IT IS NO DECENT MAN OR WOMAN'S RIGHT TO TAKE THE STEP OF A KILLING FOR A KILLING. ITS ALL THERE IS TO IT! ALL LIFE ONCE AROUND , THERE MAY BE NO MORE , NOTHING AFTER AND NO BODY KNOWS UNTIL THEY ARE DEAD. SO ALIVE PEOPLE (HUMAN BEINGS I MEAN) SIMPLY BY THE LAWS OF NATURE AND CONSCIOUSNESS HAVE NO RIGHT TO KILL, ESPECIALLY THE INSTITUTIONS WHO HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY OF LOOKING AFTER THE PEOPLE OF ANY NATION. We know that hasn't happened in human history , Nation states forever have been killing their own in many different ways. But murdering for murder is a nonsense, in fact locking up until the time of natural death is the answer to execution. What a horrible punishment being locked away for ever , to die in a cell that may have been your home for 50 years and nothing else. Then the people who hand down the sentence do not have to be a party to a killing, which any nation that allows death penalty , every citizen is part of that killing. The other side of the state killing is the horrid morbid ritualisation of it, practising for it, doing every thing to a set of execution rules, I bet any sane executioner who was put in the position never sleeps well again, because as I said until the end you never know . That is the main reason why loss of life or taking it is no mans right , because it may be the last he's got or will ever have, no faith can guarantee afterlife , they don't know! Many people will say stuff them we kill in war and we need to remove murderers etc, well we can remove them , from society easily, lock them up properly , in a cell for ever. Then you of the delicate and noble free speaking middle classes and never to be touched upper classes won't have to become indirect murderers your self. Revenge by an individual , well who can say the state of mind that individual might be in when they kill someone who has killed say a family member, but that is an act of rage , heartbreak payback, THE STATE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT, THEY ARE MEANT TO CARRY OUT THE LAW, WHEN EVER IT WAS WRITTEN? If its a bad law remove it. Modern nations have. But that vengeance seeker who murdered a murderer , could well face the noose . chair . gas chamber . injection him or herself for making pay back,. Then the state commits murder three . The first victim , then second culprit and then the revenger, and the person revenging a relative , will suffer the same ritualistic almost sick activity they have to go through to kill someone,. Lock em up forever , when you kill them and try to justify a killing for another killing the state has screwed up something terrible. They become not just killers but torturers too, as a person who will die waits for all the crap to happen and the clock to turn. A last meal, a visit from who a family member a child a wife , it is sick stuff! And decent warders have to do it? What ever this killer has done , they don't deserve to be murdered , it might be a deterrent , but if they are locked up forever, "Properly!" they won't be doing it again either .

Very few criminals carried guns whilst committing crimes in those days. Specifically because of the fear of due process. I am old enough to remember the somber mood that gripped country on the day of execution. The radio announcements up to and following the hanging. Also, whilst a melancholy occasion, a sense of the inevitability of justice. Majority public opinion was in favour of capital punishment. As usual, the decision to suspend and later abolish hanging was taken by a small number of politicians against the will of majority public opinion. Abolition of hanging has had a knock on effect in the criminal justice system and we are now left with the mayhem and chaos we witness today. Progress?

@ 0:25 anyone notice the swastika pattern on the door of the Home Office? Yeah, I know, they were around and popular way before the Nazis..but I just find it ironic knowing what the British went through just ten years before. I wonder if the door's been changed since then? And @ 1:08- is that a horse's ass sticking right into the crowd??

In Virginia Suzanne Cummings shot her Hispanic lover with 5 bullets. She was given 54 days in prison. Suzanne Cummings was Anglo-Saxon and her lover was Latin. Also her father was a billionaire who gave money to the Republican party. (The President at that time was Republican). She lived on a horse ranch down the road from where George Washington used to live. Her family was prominent in high society in Virginia. When she went to prison they had to empty out the prisons because there were Black women in there serving longer sentences for dealing drugs. They would have killed her. If she had shot me she would have got 4 days in prison. I am half-Japanese and my mother lived in Japan when the Japanese Navy bombed Pearl Harbor. You know what the Americans said in 1776 after they rebelled against"British tyranny". Liberty and justice for all. I am a Canadian citizen and I will take British justice over American justice any day.

It would have been acceptable if no publicities after the court ruling was handed down. Look again the film full of women and children. If time and place of execution had been hidden from the public, death sentences would still be available today.

Actually the severity of the punishment doesn't seem to be much of a deterrent. The likelyhood of punishment is a much bigger deterrent. Basically, if a criminal knows they are likely to get away with a crime they will do it even if the penalty is harsh. If there is a high risk of getting caught they are less likely to do the crime even if the penalty is fairly mild. Murder often has a slightly different motive & dynamic than other crimes but that still holds true for the most part.

That's a good point,but as so often has been shown,justice ain't perfect,there've been too many innocent executed.Besides that,governments should never be in the business of killing their subjects,whatever they might have done.If one allows that, you get onto a slippery slope,next, they might take it upon themselves to rule with an iron fist.Not every country has such reasonable checks & balances as the U.S.

I'm against capital punishment only because I don't trust the courts. Too many people who would have hung in the past have had to be released as new evidence and ways of getting it have emerged, sometimes after someone has been in prison for years. Magistrates should not be allowed to handle any contested case ...'guilty guilty I feel so posh! Next!'.....these unpaid power freaks are there to serve their own ego's.

Its true that DNA has served to challenge many of the convictions that were previously taken for granted. Being in gaol also affords the possibility of being released from gaol. That is not the case of you are hanging from the end of a rope.

After a death sentence is passed the case is automatically referred to the court of appeal who can quash the conviction, and then if necessary to the office of the home secretary who cannot dismiss the conviction but has the authority to commute the sentence to life imprisonment.

its uncivilised for the state to say killing people is wrong and then to kill them. it has no place if society is to place itself above those who kill and do wrong things. lock them up for life but state sanctioned murder just perpetuates revenge and savage actions and makes the state the same as the criminals.

I don't believe in the death penalty. I think instead these prisoners should be used for medical research, drug testing, med students to practice their stuff etc. The victims families should receive the money volunteers would normally get as well as the prison system. No death row inmates get a choice. Screw their rights they threw that away the moment they took a life. These prisoners could be the key to finding cures ,preventing illnesses and helping solve crimes. We test stuff on animal's even though different genetics. Human test subjects would be better. I call it recycling. Then when the prisoner is dead off to the body farm for their use.🤷‍♀️

First thing, Capital punishment has its place , even in modern society, we all know of miss carriage of justice over the years, but If we took a book out of the U S penal system, we could get it much more precise , for instance, when the evidence is overwhelming, put them on death row, but limit it to 5 years, that would be enough time to lodge any appeals or offer up new evidence. You cannot keep some killers in jail for decades, some will never repent, no matter how long they get, so the cheaper alternative is death, In deed, in some cases, they want the death penalty, some even ask what is available, For child murderers, for serial killers, and downright evil killers. execution is the only real alternative,
