This is why you never treat people poorly, you don’t know their lives, he never had a chance. From birth to death he didn’t have a choice in the way his life went. Horribly sad story.

@michaelcherokee8906 Год назад

That's not really true. For one, he frequently lied. Nobody made him do that, and it was a moral failing of his that he was wholly responsible for. Secondly, he shouldve never knocked his wife up. I know he had exceptionally low intelligence, and although you might be able to make an argument that his low IQ partially absolved him of some responsibility, it does not excuse him completely. He was human, with weaknesses that we can sympathize with, but he still made mistakes. Having said that, he ABSOLUTELY did not deserve what happened to him. If he hadnt made either of the mistakes that I listed he may have not suffered his fate though, so I guess if this story has any moral at the end, it is to live honestly and carefully.

@pabmusic1 Год назад

Very well done. Thank you. I grew up with the Christie case - I was too young to understand it, but it was a prominent feature of the 1950s - as were those of Derek Bentley and Ruth Ellis. By the time the Tories were ousted from power, and Labour were in charge, there was quite a large anti-capital punishment movement. Roy Jenkins, the Home Secretary immediately announced a moratorium on executions, and gradually every offence for which capital punishment was the penalty was abolished. One of the most chilling things about the Evans/Christie affair is that - objectively - Evans was rightly convicted. This isn't a miscarriage of justice where he should have been acquitted. The evidence against him was overwhelming. It is only because we now know that Christie was one of the worst serial killers the UK has ever had that we can say the conviction was almost certainly wrong. A good example of why capital punishment is such a poor thing, and why almost every country has abolished it.

There have been several cases of terrorists being released because they are deemed to have been rehabilitated, only for them to go out on a killing spree again.

In the Evans/Christie case, the UK government's Home Office, ludicrosly tried to claim that there must have been two murderers living at the same address, rather that face the reality that an innocent man had been executed...

As I said in an earlier comment reply, how much responsibility should the police accept, because time and again it's clearly down to their rush for results and failure to assess the full picture adequately in a steady rate of time, that are the causes of these heartbreaking injustices. In a time when there was no rolling back the clock because of the death penalty, way too many innocent people lost their lives. Albert Pierrepoint, the last hangman in England, who famously killed Ruth Ellis and Bentley, lived next door to my school friend's family. It was a handed down family trade and he extolled how death was not a deterrent. The fact that the futility of killing so many without that ever preventing a murder, or achieving anything positive, was something that haunted him ultimately.

You and the person you're quoting are attempting to sound smart, but the implications of said quote are incredibly stupid if you think about it for even a second. It completely misunderstands the foundational principle of most decent justice systems: the presumption of innocence. It advocates for the exact opposite of what is concluded by this video: that you shouldn't just assume who is and isn't a criminal and fall into a confirmation bias. You let the "criminal" defend himself, because what if he's not actually a criminal? It signifies that, even if we get it wrong and a criminal goes free to commit more crime, that is still more just (or the lesser of two evils if you prefer to phrase it that way) than if we were to execute one who had committed no such crime. No justice system is perfectly flawless, and I would even agree that the justice system isn't about justice depending on the context (because corruption is a thing that exists), but the only profundity of that quote is in how dumb it is.

THAT is why I oppose the death penalty. The courts make mistakes & once a person is dead, you cannot bring them back to life. The mistake cannot be undone. But with life imprisonment, the mistake can be compensated by releasing the person & paying 10-20 years of lost wages (if they had been free & working) ,

@@electrictroy2010 I personally agree with the death penalty, however I believe it should be reserved for very specific crimes/offences against humanity such as certain kinds of murder, certain kinds of rape, and probably a few other crimes. I also think that the death penalty must only be considered if there is no evidence pointing towards innocence and it all points towards guilty

@@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling Whether there 1 day or 2000, the old hardened residents with longer stays exacted a toll on him in one way or another. You can bet on that. Even just a menacing stare from a beastly murderer as Timmy was being processed could’ve been enough to make him have a mental breakdown. Surely he interacted with guards too which, according to the way Mr B Allen portrayed them handling inmates before execution, would be quite traumatic and terrifying. Surely they didn’t take much care when bringing them in and booking them at the start of the ordeal either. Knowing you were innocent and still being treated as some caged animal ready for slaughter from start to finish would be horrific. I stand by what I said.

@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling Год назад

@@Mustang_Dan the condemned person was accompanied by two Prison Officer to the Death Cell. They had zero contact with other prisoners and were even in their exercise yard alone. Two Prison Officers were in the double cell with the condemned for 8 hour shifts 24 hours a day. The condemned was not mistreated during this time as there was no greater punishment. At least the UK has done away with executing their prisoners. Like the narrator said, he was a victim of his own lying unfortunately. The USA used death by hanging until 1996. Death was instantaneous as there was a drop table which calculated weight of condemned and distance of drop needed. Prior to this a lot of people didn't die from the drop but from asphyxiation.

@ErynRenee Год назад

Thank you for victim-focused storytelling. There are so many serial killer documentaries that focus mostly on the perpetrator, and only briefly discuss the lives that were taken. I get that the number of murders, and the sick person responsible for them are what draws attention to these cases & these shows, but it always seems unfair to breeze past the individual victims' lives & their families' losses unlike other true crime stories simply because there's not enough time due to the body count. I think it's far more meaningful, and respectful, to really know the victims than it is to know the murderer in cases like these. I came to this realization years ago from coverage of mass shootings. Almost all of these mass murderers/serial killers are looking for the shock & horror response that will forever be associated with their names - they enjoyed killing and they love the idea of notoriety. We should stop assuming that the association of evil with their name is going to make them feel bad for what they did... because they do not think like normal people, nor do they feel shame for their despicable acts being known to everyone. It's why I don't think it's helpful for the media to repeatedly say the perpetrators' names...that negative attention doesn't deter others from seeking similar notoriety. Instead, for every time their name is necessary to mention, the names of the victims should also be mentioned. It's the only way to honor the victims and deny the perpetrators (dead or alive) the satisfaction they sought. Remember: mass/serial murder victims are more than a number in a body count. They are humans with lives, stories, dreams, passions, gifts, and loved ones. It's never a waste of time to learn about the individual victims' lives, and hear the stories shared by their loved ones. Thanks, MrBallen.

@Zsp05 Год назад

I completely agree with u except when you're talking about serial killer documentaries (not podcasts or specific vids such as Mr. Ballens etcs) the information isn't meant to focus even partially on the victims. A documentary is meant to focus on that one person/thing specifically without wavering and telling the stories of other people even if they're part of it. For eg. If there was a documentary about you they wouldn't mention you're cousins, teachers, friends (maybe best friend's or people you talk to and confide in frequently), they'd focus specifically on your routine and lifestyle because that's what documentaries do. I just wanted to say that but i agree with everything else u said. The victims should be given more attention because they're not just some unfortunate people, they're people who lost their lives because someone decided to kill them and that's and unfortunate thing that can honestly happen to anyone
