  1. The execution took place at 9.01 not 9.30 From entering the cell to execution was less than a min. Death was instantaneous by breaking the vertebrae. Her son was Andre not Andy. George Ellis was not his father he was his step father She wasnt convicted of 1st degree murder that crime does not exist in the uk , Christmas Humphries paid for Andres funeral and the judge paid for his upkeep from the execution onwards A few of the errors

  2. Your descriptions of the people involved and miss representing the facts is so annoying and so many that it would take too long to correct you. But anyone with a basic knowledge of this case would be horrified at your presenting David Cussens as a good guy . She wasn’t a waitress at the little club she was the manager. She had two children by different fathers ( not that this matters but just to highlight your shoddy representation) your One sided character assassination of the victim is terrible, non of the central characters in this sad tale cover themselves in glory .

  3. What a sad story. Obviously some serious mental abuse going on there and she was just so tired of waking up every day to the pain. This poor woman. I know a man lost his life and that is sad as well, but for his own selfish reasons he destroyed her and caused a ripple effect that lasted generations. I just don't understand what is going on in someone's head that makes them think it's okay to toy with someone's emotions rather than just breaking up with them and releasing them from the emotional ups and downs.

  4. Just got to the 16-minute mark, and it sounds like you women are excusing this woman's behavior – destroying personal property and harassing people, instead of teaching ladies NOT to engage in such behavior, that if you get ghosted by a fake fiancee` to realize that you don't own anybody and he doesn't have to honor his word, and that you should move on and take the hint.

    But I'm not at the end of video, and you might throw in some moral truths So, let's continue…..

  5. Interested in the story. I was even initially excited to see two professional women introducing themselves as such at the beginning of the video. Will look for the case elsewhere. Too bad you "ladies" who are supposed to also be professionals are even allowed on this channel. I can hardly believe your unnecessary usage of foul language. It's such a shame. I couldn't get through the video because of the language.

  6. Wow what a story, I would of fought for my life lol stating how he abused me, and I lost my baby because of his abuse and if she did that I bet she could of got off. Awww I feel for Ruth and her children, great case girls, thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

  7. Would you please cover the Murder of two teachers Victoria Edström and Sara Böök? They were killed brutally by a student with an axe at a school in Sweden.There is a student that was there, that is really struggling with survivor's guilt that really just wants their story told. There almost no coverage. I told him I would reach out to as many true crime creators as possible. It is not just the U.S. that has seriously troubled youth.

  8. It makes me sick that the family looked the other way while the father sexually abused the daughter, and got her pregnant, but they were disapproving of any daughter having a baby with another man. The social mores were all twisted up in this situation. I get that "within family" is a bit different, and they were probably all emotionally abused as well, but something's disgustingly wrong with that view.If I’d been her … .That man would go MISSING.
