True history and social change...these things are never pretty, but having it all exposed well is a invaluable. I hope I said that good BC. 😂❤

[@gabrielsusa5718]

And has much changed since then?

[@PaleMagnolia]

Poor girl, a pair of earrings was enough to smear her character! I guess, even if she wasn't a well-to-do lady, she only wanted to own something pretty, for a change.

[@lesleekahler6514]

My Great grandmother was a mill girl in England, according to the stories that were passed down it was brutal work. She had her left hand ripped off by a spinning machine and lost her job. Her fiance then dumped her so she took the small amount of money the factory gave her in compensation and came to America met a German immigrant, got married and had 6 children. Thanks for this story.

[@BriefCaseOfficial]

Wow, thats some story, thankyou so much for sharing it

[@EmmaPeacock-cc9fl]

That poor lady....I can't imagine the pain she must have gone through. I'm so glad to hear she did well for herself in the end.

[@ZombieQueeen]

Omg they were brutal and ruthless for dismissing her without compensation. How amazingly brave and strong she was for the loss to not keep her down and instead it pushed her for her next adventure!

[@suzimonkey345]

Not just, “What was she wearing?”…”Look what earrings she was wearing!” 😳😡😳

[@KathleenCalhoun-em6ys]

That was kind and generous of the community to consider the family in providing donations to pay for the transport of Ms. Caswell's remains in order that she receive a decent burial.

[@bebeautiful6613]

I thought so also. I would be nice to know if they did it out of kindness or if they did it because they didn’t want her wickedness in their community. We want to think it was out of kindness. But it may not have been 🤔

Victim blaming is something I detest. It gets me riled up every time!

[@bunyz9728]

And yet the practice is done many times a day, over the world. I agree with you.

[@perrydowd9285]

Okay, so what began with a tragic death of a desperate young woman ended when the court of appeal screamed, "The hussy!" Did I get that right? "You poor man, get out of jail free. It was the victim's fault the whole time. Earrings indeed!" Hey guys. Thanks for this one from the hallowed halls of injustice. Great upload. See you next week.

[@l.5832]

Unfortunately, that path still occurs now when a conviction is appealed. Lawyers know this. Appeals and retrials ALWAYS favour the convicted. This is where money counts. Wealthy people can appeal many, many times. As many times as it takes. Many convicts are successful in walking free as a result of turning the tables when having retrials.

[@bettinabarry8423]

My maternal grandmother was abandoned by her parents when she was 13. She left England to come to America. She went to Lawrence, Massachusetts, to work in the mills. In the end, she ran off with my grandfather and moved out to California. There, she started her own business of fine lady's clothing and owned an operated successful business for many years. The mills were an important place for young females to find work. I imagine there are many interesting stories of success, failure, and tragedy connected to the mills. Thank you BC for covering this case --- always sad but always enlightening to learn about the times.

[@BriefCaseOfficial]

Nice story, thankyou for sharing it :)

[@primesspct2]

It is terrible to think about, but children were often on their own at age 12, my own grandmother being one of them too. She was fortunate to be taken in as a sort of nurses aid for an elderly man by his family. The family also allowed her to attend school for 2 hours a day at "The Living Well School'. Which she did until age 15. Her sisters continued to educate themselves, and all determined that their children would go to college, and so they all did! They took care of each other and all married young, and had children as people of that time did.

[@bettinabarry8423]

@nicolad8822 Manchester, England. She was born 1888. I have done some genealogy on that side and know that my grandmother's family was in Manchester for a couple of generations. My mother told me that Lowell, MA, was talked about by her mother and father. I visited Lawrence, MA, back in 1998 and was taken back by what an important and massive industry it all was. Now, just relics of the past.

[@mariatorres9789]

Not too smart, for being a doctor. You'd think he would've buried her somewhere, instead of dumping her in a creek nearby?

[@toddabowden]

He's a "doctor", a term that was (and even still can be) utilized pretty freely when people wanted to use it to sell their services. He was a doctor of botanical medicine, wasn't he? But you're absolutely right; regardless of his credentials, he was really, really bad at being a criminal.

[@Lisa-hc3uq]

Murderers aren't too bright. They think they are, but they really aren't. They get so caught up with the crime that after it's done, their confidence is pushed aside. They get sloppy and careless, they make panic / rushed decisions, leave evidence behind, etc. They assume they have all their bases covered prior, which they hardly ever do and eventually get caught, almost always from their own doing. A good example, the Oklahoma (USA) tragedy. Assuming they'd never get caught, that with the bodies, they buried evidence that connected them to the crime. Along with cellphone data from their own phones that they had with them during the act, lead authorities to the exact location of the burial. Can't get much dumber than those suspects. Again, it's the carelessness of the guilty parties that get themselves caught.

[@susandesjardins4441]

I’m surprised he just didn’t have her body cremated!!

[@kalevala29]

@@toddabowden I have a feeling this was the first time something had gone wrong. I think there were more women previous who went to him in a time of trouble. The botanicals didn't work with her, so he botched an abortion. Actually, judging from how it all ended up, he could have just alerted authorities when she died. They would have looked down on her for going to see him in the first place. And he would have said that he tried and failed.

[@rosemaryfranzese317]

What a sad case. A young woman in Berengara’s situation would have been vulnerable and susceptible to a young man who seemed to offer her love and stability. William was incredibly selfish and stupid to engage in a sexual conduct with a girl he clearly had no intention of marrying and leaving her to take the consequences. What Dr Smith did was terrible but his motives may have been genuinely meant to help the young woman. Smith should not have been tried for murder, the lawyer was correct, a manslaughter charge was right. It seems the only person to come out of the situation more or less unscathed was William, although to be fair perhaps there were consequences for him too.

[@mitrovarr]

I'm not sure he never intended on marrying her. When he lost his job he lost his financial stability and probably couldn't afford to marry her anymore, nor raise a child.

Poor Berengera:(. Thank you, BC for another riveting story. Blaming the victim is all too common, even in our times:(. In 19th century, a working woman had no recourse...:(. Miss Bernegera worked in textile industry, it was not as easy as it may sound. I notice the picture of the landscape with multiple factory chimney: this could have been a picture of my home city in Poland even at the time when I was growing up. Textle factories employed mostly women; spinning and weaving machines were very noisy and affected the hearing of the employees. Not to mention the dust...Thank you, BC for another great case.:)

[@shannoncarlson6960]

I do agree he should have been charged with manslaughter. He didn't intend for her to die. The court should have ended it there and not bring up her earrings 🙄 How do they know the earrings weren't a gift? Interesting story!

[@mitrovarr]

Honestly I'm not even sure if he should have been charged with manslaughter. Because someone died in surgery doesn't necessarily mean gross negligence occurred, there are unavoidable risks, particularly back then. I mean we almost never prosecute malpractice as manslaughter now. Realistically the only really proveable crime was concealing the death and hiding the body.

[@MelanieMaguire]

Medics and hospitals, surgeries and prescription drugs cause death all the time, every day, but doctors don't go to prison for anything. Most don't even get a malpractice suit against them...

Good morning Brief Case. Best way to start the week, with one of your videos! Sometimes I forget the lengths some lawyers will go to to get their clients off a murder charge. Blaming the victim is the worst way to do that. And one reason in this case is she wore earrings? Another thing I forget is how unusual it was for women to wear jewelry back then, other than a necklace and wedding rings.
