On the 13th of July, 1955, Ruth Ellis became the last person to be executed in the United Kingdom. Her story is a tragic one, beginning with childhood abuse and ending with the public shooting of her lover outside a London Pub possibly at the behest of another. While she felt no remorse and didn't seek to appeal her conviction, her family is still working to clear her name to this day.
