Brett

He likes to drink.

You know, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who if some old decrepit guy with all these like health issues downstairs had done this to his wife, that he would just let it go and just go live with Aunt Knuckle, you know.

I mean, I guess, I don't know in 1950s England how differentiated their murder charges were.

I mean, I guess you could say, look, we really want to get him for murder one.

If he was in a heated argument with his wife, maybe that's a defense to murder one.

It's really just manslaughter or murder two.

Whereas there's no defense to killing the baby, right?

I mean, that's my charitable defense of the prosecutors.

I think the reality was they were just worried that there'd be men on the jury who were like,

Yeah, you know, woman is yelling at me like that, I'd probably do the same thing, right?

And I think there probably is some concern about that at the time.

But either way, they make this decision that they're only going to charge him with the murder of Geraldine.

January 11th, 1950, the trial of Timothy Evans begins at the Old Bailey.

Such cool names for everything in England.

I feel like the Old Bailey got blown up in, what was that movie again?

Remember, remember the 5th of November, the gunpowder treason and plot.

Oh.

Treason, should never be forgot.

What was that?

What was the name of that movie?
