Murder is the case they should have given him period! Great research, drawings and insight. I can't understand her sister knowing what this monster is capable of i think she just didn't want her sister and her children to impede on her home life, the parents we're willing to take them in.

[@julieswallsendhistory8671]

Yes that is quite possible, perhaps she just didn't want the extra people living in the house with her parents, still sad though to think she was happy for her sister to be treated badly by the man she lived with.

Always listen to the whole story. I love your voice.

I believe he knew full well what he was doing but sounds like he had one of those personalities which find it hard to acknowledge what they have done and automatically blame anyone else. The nearest he came to insanity was pointing the finger at the policeman as the culprit. I just really wish those times had given more rights to women and support for leaving an abusive husband. Life was so difficult without a man that many were caught between a rock and a hard place. Interesting case and I appreciated the work you took doing it and that it was longer which I also appreciated.

Thank you. Yes it was tough for women, especially when they had children, there was no real help and sometimes it did seem they stuck with abusive men as it was better than the workhouse or living on the streets.

Jane was failed by most everyone around her, and she never received justice. Her killer should have never walked in free society. RIP, Jane. You deserved much better.

Thank you for watching. I do agree, it seems even her own family didn't protect her as much as they could have done. Very sad all round.

What else would she do? The bully was right there in her face! Coward. Yes he has some mental issues that are made worse by the alcohol didn't help. Thank you ❤

[@julieswallsendhistory8671]

He certainly wasn't a nice man. Sad end for everyone.
