England's crime historical facts

Some fun facts I learned in Lectures.

In Medieval times if women were suspected and caught for Witchcraft the punishment was imprisonment and NOT BURNED!

People who were caught trying to commit suicide, they were arrested, tried and HUNG FOR TRYING TO COMMIT SUICIDE 馃う And if they were caught trying to slit their throat??? Same process only, they got beheaded whilst on the noose, due to the previous self harm of slitting the throat attempt 馃う 馃う

They were trying to rob you of a peaceful dignified death.

@GlitterEater Neither way was peaceful or dignified, of course, though hanging (by slow strangulation, not neck-snapping) was much quicker and probably less painful. It was worsened further by being a public spectacle.
