RUTH ELLIS A Case of Diminished Responsibility?

Paperback. Ruth Ellis was hanged for murder in 1955. But was this deeply disturbed woman truly responsible for her actions? This classic study of the case argues powerfully that the non-appearance of vital evidence at her trial, and Ruth's own determination to die for her crime, led to a cruel miscarriage of justice.
