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 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.
So prosecutors were like, okay, we have enough.
We're moving forward.
We're going to charge Tim because Tim is clearly so guilty here.
He's confessed four times, four different stories, but that just shows his guilt.
So they're afraid that Tim might be able to argue that Beryl goaded him into killing her.
This apparently was some sort of successful strategy at the time.
1940s, wild times, y'all, that the victim can goad you into murdering them.
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.
Oh, man, she was so young.
Yeah.
What I like about the Old Bailey is, is it a whorehouse?
Is it a bar?

Remember the story about Christy with the abortion help?
Well, Christy gets on the stand and he denied the claims that he had ever offered Beryl an abortion.
