The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

I don't even know what I ate for lunch.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

So maybe it's not a big deal that these workmen and Miss Christie didn't see the bodies wrapped up in the cloth back there because they just didn't remember what days they were there.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

The bodies were wrapped up, and you can imagine that if it's looking like a package, even a body-shaped package, maybe they just missed it.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

So prosecutors were like, okay, we have enough.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

We're moving forward.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

We're going to charge Tim because Tim is clearly so guilty here.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

He's confessed four times, four different stories, but that just shows his guilt.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

So they're afraid that Tim might be able to argue that Beryl goaded him into killing her.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

This apparently was some sort of successful strategy at the time.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

1940s, wild times, y'all, that the victim can goad you into murdering them.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

So he was only charged with killing the baby, Geraldine, so as to avoid any problems with Beryl having, this is like the definition of victim blaming.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

Oh, man, she was so young.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

Yeah.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

What I like about the Old Bailey is, is it a whorehouse?

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

Is it a bar?

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

Could be both.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

Who knows?

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

So obviously among those four confessions, Christy's implicated two of them in a very serious way.

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

Remember the story about Christy with the abortion help?

The Prosecutors
352. The Case of Timothy Evans and John Reginald Christie Part 1 of 2 -- With a Little Help From My Friends

Well, Christy gets on the stand and he denied the claims that he had ever offered Beryl an abortion.
