    Welcome to the Truth Be Told and Co podcast with Jazz O'Brien. In this episode, we explore the haunting story of Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be executed in the UK. Through a gripping narration, we shed light on Ellis' troubled life, unravel the events leading up to her crime, and examine the societal and legal factors surrounding her execution. Delve into the lesser-known tales, including the life of Desmond Cusson and his connections to Ellis' tragic end.

    Set against the backdrop of the 1950s, this episode revisits Ellis' tumultuous relationships, the trial that captivated a nation, and the aftermath that contributed to the eventual abolition of the death penalty in Britain.
