[edit] Copyright violation

I found copyright violations going back to the first revision. A few copied sentances, probably an accident. Double checked www.crimelibrary.com with the wayback machine. The article is at Ruth Ellis/Copyvio until it can be deleted and a new stub has been started.--Duk 17:08, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

Took a second look and tried to delete just the copied material, but kept comming up with more and more, better to re-write.--Duk 20:09, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Abolition of death penalty

Death penalty was only abolished for *murder* in the UK in 1965. After that it was still possible in law to be hanged for treason, although nobody ever actually *was* executed for treason in the UK after '65. Death penalty only *completely* abolished in law in the UK in 1998. Martyn Smith 18:12, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
