@michaelcherokee8906 Рік тому
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 Рік тому
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.

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.

However, he's extremely book smart and studied hard whenever he was bed ridden and as a teenager learnt to write screenplays. Won an award for a short film he directed when he was 16 years old I think. Was a film critic for a few years, the actress Helen hunt wanted to use one of his scripts for a film but it ended up not getting made and he works a normal desk job now but still has hopes of becoming a director

He's now 54 and has never overcome it. What is it with young men and this name? Kind of spooky.

This is one of the cases, which eventually brought about the abolition of the death penalty in the UK. One other was the case of Derek Bentley, a young man who was hanged, but who never killed anyone, and who was technically in police custody when the killing crime happened. 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.

It totally make sense that a WW1 vet became a serial killer. The horrifically gruesome shit he'd have seen in wasteland of no-man's land... there never was, and never will be, a war quite as intensely brutal as the Great War. Plus, the part where he wanted to "smell the death all around him"... would've also been something he experienced on the front line. Since it was often too dangerous to collect and bury fallen comrades, their corpses would sit out and rot for days or weeks. And due to the extremely static nature of trench warfare, you and your enemies' positions would barely move, if at all.

@@samuelharwood7835 🤣 right!? It would be so much easier that way! While I definitely am both of those things, it's actually a nickname I got during one of my hospital stays. A nurse asked what was wrong, and I jokingly said "I'm a disaster" and explained my heart conditon and other issues. Someone said "You're not necessarily a disaster, you're just delicate." After that the nurses called me their delicate disaster lol. I figured it made a good profile name. 🤷🏻♀️

@hannahsolomon3927 Рік тому
I remember my mum telling me about this when I was younger and told me that when it was hanging day that when you would have to go past the prison it was a very depressing atmosphere and everyone was very quiet and she remembered when executions were stopped mainly because of massive mistakes which lead innocent men and women to the gallows and a few years after her older brother ended up marrying a woman who's father was involved in the executions and from what I heard about him is that he was a very cold and hard faced man who didn't actually care about the fact that many innocent people were effectively murdered because of botched police work and my mum ended up telling him exactly what she thought of him and that wasn't very much. The UK has got a long history of botched police work that lead to this happening.

True it is his job to carry out the executions but that does not mean you should have no empathy for the innocent people who were executed. That's the same as the Nazis saying they were just following orders when massacring men, women, and children
@rebeccacarlson9166 Рік тому
I'm sure he had empathy at one time, but it's not a joyful job to kill someone, so it would eventually wear anyone down and harden their emotions.
@rebeccacarlson9166 Рік тому
@@kimhafner7463 I know what you're trying to say here and it's a good thought... but a comparison between a hangman and a Nazi soldier who committed war crimes is totally off. For your future reference, you don't need to make any comparisons to justify your comment because you're very capable of getting your point across without one. (That is a compliment)
@HippieInHeart Рік тому
I mean, I guess that's just what happens when your job is to literally kill people on a regular basis. Kinda hard to deeply care about human lives and at the same time continue kill people day in day out just because someone somewhere came to the conclusion that those people should die. Sooner or later the executioners will be forced to give up either their empathy or their job.
