There is a whole bunch of recent TH-cam presentations on Edith Thompson (six, seven or more?). Most draw lots of comments. Much the same debate occurs in the comments to each one: between those who see Edith as a victim of 1920s morals and misogyny ('hanged for adultery') and those who see her as guilty, if not legally then morally. For anyone who would like to check them out, the original sources are available online. Filson Young’s (1923) ‘Frederick Bywaters and Edith Thompson, Notable British Trials’ includes the record of the trial and Edith’s letters. The relevant law is complicated. The analysis of Jurisprudence Prof William Twining, entitled ‘Reconstructing the Truth about Edith Thompson’ (also available online) helps to understand the record of the trial.
Why do people not first consider a divorce ? Even in the 20s. If you aren't happy, no amount of moneycan ever buy that. And they always get caught. If there are kids, they lose you both and are left flailing in the wind, with no protection or guidance, or anything. It ruins lives ! Why not just sign zee papers ? Be free. Wish the person, you once loved, well, and go ! Better yet, you can just leave and send the divorce papers by registered mail. You won't have to deal with a scene of any kind that way! It sure beats this, right ??? I will never understand why they don't think of this first.
She couldnt face the stigma of divorce. Plus the house they bought, that she had paid 50% for, would have been given to Percy. She would have lost her job too.
Divorce was a very difficult proposition for women in England before 1923. Divorce law inconsistently made it hard for women to obtain divorces. Percy would probably have refused, in which case, Edith could have done nothing. If things had been different, perhaps she would have opted for a simple divorce that made her free to marry Freddie. As it was, things were very, very different at that time and place. Women may have had the vote, once they obtained the age of 30, but making the law more equitable was a long time coming.
I don’t think she wanted to spend the money on a divorce and women in the 20’s weren’t really allowed to seek divorce. It was frowned upon, it would ruin her name and she was too proud to do that. She also didn’t want her family to know that she’d fallen for Freddy because they had hoped for him to marry her younger sister who was closer to his age
Too lenient. Criminals will be criminals as long as they can get away with it. And as long as the promise of a cushy jail sentence is on the other end, they are happy for the free room and board.
Even if she didn't plan to help kill her husband, she was protecting the killer. Which makes her an accessory. Plus lying to the police, interfering with a police investigation ect ect. 😐
I'm surprised she was hanged. Was it proven she conspired and aided in Percy's murder? Prison time I could understand. Anyway, I saw a movie on them awhile back. I think it was a British production. I don't think it was as sympathetic toward her as this one. This is a good channel. Thanks!
Why? She plotted her husband's murder numerous times and then tried to hide behind "woe is me, I am a but a poor, feeble woman" when caught to escape the gallows. Jury saw right through her with her letters, and then she made the basic mistake to take the stand believing she could charm them into believing her when in fact she dug her own grave.
Hello she was interested in Freddy already hated her husband had affair and the letter stating she wanted her husband murder Ed she also convinced her husband to move in a younger man into the home and u have doubts I’m pretty she did convince the young boy to kill her husband hmm strange how u doubt her not being involved and I’m sure she lying about abuse so she can get him to kill her husband
I think she definitely knew. She was unhappy with her marriage and Freddy was an escape. He was everything she wanted in a relationship and I don’t think she wanted her family to know she had fallen for him. I think she told Freddy where they would be walking or he had followed them until they were alone and he had an opportunity
During the 20s was far different than the 18th century, as far as that goes. Suffrage ended, war was over, & if you survived influenza the 20s was a time to let your hair down, feel alive, all while maintaining independence from everyone, including men, especially when picking a husband, lol. It sounds like her parents were lax and appreciated her just as she was, but I agree, sometimes I watch docs and to add to the drams they'll be unfair to one person ir another. Look, sometimes people just fall outta love, that's OK & it can still be a good story in spite of it, ya? Course, an abuser is still an abuser, ya? Pretty much means he was a weak & insecure man who deep down hated she provided, too, and that he didn't have as much control over her as most husbands still had over their wives.
Lol. This chick talked her husband into letting some kid move in and started an affair with him. She wrote to Fred about murdering her husband and everyone is shocked that she’s being blamed when it actually happened? I don’t think there are any coincidences when it comes to murder.
Agree. Her letters clearly showed her desire for Percy to die. But even if it was "just a fantasy in her head", as her supporters say, a person can still be charged with murder. I don't believe she plotted with Freddie to kill him that night but she did lie to police to protect Freddie. I think it was right she was found guilty but not sure she should have been hanged. A silly woman.
I think she knew Freddy was planning to kill Percy. It’s a little too coincidental that he found them while they were walking home. She’d also sent Freddy some murder novels and ideas and mentioned she wanted Percy gone
They probably don’t want to call a murderer by the name he preferred. Most people will call killers by their known name just because it’s easy to remember them
The executioner should not have done it, I know someone else would have done it if he didn't but if he felt so bad why do it? In those days or any other day his refusal would surely be perceived as honourable, they must have dragged an unconscious woman to her demise, I couldn't bare it!
He would have lost his commission, and one of his assistants would have performed the execution anyway. It's not like it was the first woman to be executed, ever. Before 1790 women who murdered their husbands were burned at the stake.
@@PatriciaPageMosaicArtsCrafts Being an executioner ain't a job for the feint of heart. Could happen to any executioner, even seasoned one.

First off it was gross the way the woman spoke about not only a dead men, but a murdered dead man! While i don't believe Edith should have been executed, I don't think painting her as a sparkling innocent virgin mary is correct either... In my eyes Edith was a woman not made for the time she was born into, because lets be honest today unless they were complete psychos this story would have been about a woman having an affair and either her husband finding out and leaving her or her ditching her husband for the man she was sleeping; but that would have been less of an option then as either she would have been stigmatized something rotten, but is the stigma worst that taking the right someone has to life, apparently so because this case is rare theirs so many examples throughout history! Obviously i can't prove it, but i personally don't think it was an elaborate plan that Edith and Frederick came up with together. I get more the vibe that Frederick was blinded by 'love', borderline obsession with Edith, and with the attention she gave him, the affair and her fantacle writing of being free from her husband and marriage, and some of her letters were really bloody dark and definitely suspicious, egged him on, whether she did it deliberately is a question lost to time... I wouldn't paint her as 'mrs.can-do-no-wrong', but i definitely agree the fact she was executed on that evidence alone is insane, because on that evidence Edith could had been the driving force and a willing accomplice, which obviously this 20s jury took her as, or she could have just been an oblivious unhappy wife who was only guilt was one, having an affair and two, confiding in her lover how unhappy she was in her marriage...
Percy "avoided service" in more ways than one. Why the 2 different actresses playing Edith ? See her at 2.00 & 24.15 - definitely not the same actress as at 11.00 and other scenes. I don't agree that Edith being hanged was an injustice.
,lets hope you never get accused of something you didn't do. Edith, like many women then and earlier was judged for having an affair, and with a younger man. There is No evidence to convict her for being even an accessory, let alone involved in the killing. Ever heard of 'Element of Doubt?' It's a quaint idea that if there is even the slightest element of doubt in he evidence provided you must return a verdict of Not Guilty. Specifically designed to stop judgemental diickheads causing miscarriages of justice.
A post-mortem examination was carried out on Percy and no evidence was found that he had been fed glass. There is such a thing as making things up. It was a silly thing to do but it does not make her guilty. I am writing a book about her and will defend her to the end of my days. If you want to learn about her I reccomend Rex V Edith Thompson by Laura Thompson and Criminal Justice by René Weis. Her case is currently being reviewed and she may soon receive a pardon.
Also was already having affair then moves her lover it crazy the boy was still a teenager she used him to kill her husband she set that up and u ppl feel sad for if anything I feel for the the young Freddy that got by a older women she went in a dark path so she new her husband get killed so everyone feeling sorry should feel sorry for the young teenager who never chance in life because a older wanted her husband out yeah her husband probably was fighting with but I bet was about the amount time she spend at her parents acting different then bring Freddy to her house to act like Percy was abusive I doubt he May had his issues I don’t he abused her

Getting a divorce in the 1920s was very expensive. Far too expensive for ordinary people.

Big city, big problems.
I lived in London in the late 80's/early 90's and was mugged 5 times by knife-wielding black gangs...
Because they have such lenient sentences for their psychopaths what!?
Too lenient. Criminals will be criminals as long as they can get away with it. And as long as the promise of a cushy jail sentence is on the other end, they are happy for the free room and board.
Is it? I've never been and don't hear much about it here in the US, hmmm
The executioner was a troubled man after this event and cut his own throat a few years after.

help kill her husband, she was protecting the killer.
