Ellisov\u00e9 bylo v\u00a0dob\u011b popravy 28\u00a0let. Jej\u00ed ob\u011bt\u00ed byl automobilov\u00fd z\u00e1vodn\u00edk David Blakely, se kter\u00fdm se o\u00a0dva roky d\u0159\u00edve sezn\u00e1mila v\u00a0no\u010dn\u00edm klubu, kter\u00fd \u0159\u00eddila. Soud p\u0159i procesu s\u00a0Ellisovou ale v\u016fbec nebral v\u00a0potaz, \u017ee ji Blakely fyzicky i\u00a0emocion\u00e1ln\u011b t\u00fdral.

B\u011bhem soudu byla Ellisov\u00e1 vykreslena jako chladnokrevn\u00e1 vra\u017eedkyn\u011b. Souzen\u00e1 \u017eena, jej\u00ed p\u0159\u00e1tel\u00e9, l\u00e9ka\u0159i i\u00a0dal\u0161\u00ed sv\u011bdci p\u0159itom popsali brut\u00e1ln\u00ed t\u00fdr\u00e1n\u00ed, kter\u00e9mu \u010delila. Blakely ji napadal i\u00a0na ve\u0159ejnosti, shodil ji ze schod\u016f, \u00faderem na ucho j\u00ed zp\u016fsobil do\u010dasnou hluchotu a\u00a0po \u00faderu p\u011bst\u00ed do b\u0159icha Ellisov\u00e1 potratila. Nav\u00edc j\u00ed opakovan\u011b vyhro\u017eoval, \u017ee ji zabije. Soudce ale porotu instruoval, aby ignorovala, \u017ee s\u00a0Ellisovou \u201emilenec \u0161patn\u011b zach\u00e1zel\u201c.<\/p>\n

Pokud by se stejn\u00fdm p\u0159\u00edpadem soud zab\u00fdval dnes, obhajoba by mohla argumentovat ztr\u00e1tou sebekontroly nebo zmen\u0161enou p\u0159\u00ed\u010detnost\u00ed. M\u00edsto vra\u017edy by tak Ellisov\u00e1 mohla b\u00fdt shled\u00e1na vinnou ze zabit\u00ed, za kter\u00e9 by j\u00ed trest smrti nehrozil. Tyto obhajoby se ale do britsk\u00e9ho z\u00e1kon\u00edku dostaly a\u017e v\u00a0roce 1957, dva roky po jej\u00ed poprav\u011b.<\/p>\n

Britsk\u00fd panovn\u00edk proto na radu ministra Lammyho \u017e\u00e1dosti \u017eenin\u00fdch vnou\u010dat vyhov\u011bl a\u00a0Ellisovou \u010d\u00e1ste\u010dn\u011b omilostnil. To v\u00a0r\u00e1mci britsk\u00fdch z\u00e1kon\u016f znamen\u00e1, \u017ee nebyla zpro\u0161t\u011bna viny, ale jej\u00ed trest byl form\u00e1ln\u011b sn\u00ed\u017een, v\u00a0tomto p\u0159\u00edpad\u011b konkr\u00e9tn\u011b na do\u017eivotn\u00ed trest odn\u011bt\u00ed svobody. <\/p>\n

\u201eCo se stalo p\u0159ed sedmdes\u00e1ti lety, nezm\u011bn\u00edme, ale m\u016f\u017eeme uznat, \u017ee to je v\u00fdjime\u010dn\u00fd p\u0159\u00edpad.

Vnu\u010dka Ellisov\u00e9 Laura Enstonov\u00e1 rozhodnut\u00ed kr\u00e1le Karla III. p\u0159iv\u00edtala. \u201eCo se p\u0159ed 71\u00a0lety stalo, tato milost neod\u010din\u00ed. Nenaprav\u00ed rozbit\u00e9 \u017eivoty, d\u011bti zanechan\u00e9 bez matky a\u00a0ztracen\u00e9 roky.
