The BOTCHED Execution Of The Man They Could Not Hang

[@nickharmer3049]

Great upload. Appreciate this. Bless up 👊

[@petertaylor8170]

Enjoyed this one, title accurate and not misleading, very informative. I don't understand Invisible Ray's comment about Brutal execution the title states 'Botched'

[@meumnomen]

There was a guy named John "Half Hanged" Smith in the 1600s who said surviving the hanging was more painful than the actual act. Apparently it's like when a limb falls asleep times a million.

This story was re-told in music on the Fairport Convention album Babacombe Lee.

[@Noosa21]

In Australia there was a man hanged 3 times ... then pardoned on the spot ...check out Joseph Samuel 1780 to 1806.

[@fennerwallace5823]

I'm guessing when they stomped on the trap door (after the hangman pulled the lever and it failed ) that was the 2nd attempt ???

[@skylarkman2000]

Apparently unclear whether there were two or three attempts to hang Lee .

Albert Pierrepoint would have gotten him on the first try.

This episode is fraud.....I was expecting BRUTAL execution...and this guy didn't get hung 😦😡

[@HarshmanHills]

The title says the man they couldn’t hang

[@jimmyavpi]

You mean this man didn't get hanged, surely?

[@lenny5312]

They should’ve just left the hole open and pushed him into it execution complete.
