Hanged - An Eye for An Eye ⚖️💔 | The Last Woman Executed in Britain | True Crime

PART SIX: Ruth Ellis takes the stand at the Old Bailey in her murder trial—and her testimony shocks everyone. From recounting her violent relationship with David Blakely to calmly admitting, “I had an idea I wanted to kill him,” Ruth shows no outward fear… even as her fate hangs in the balance.
The judge rules against provocation as a defense. The jury takes just 23 minutes to find her guilty of willful murder, sentencing her to death by hanging.
But even in her resignation, Ruth secretly fears the hangman’s noose—and has a plan.
