Episode notes
Exploring Crime Sites in East London
- Meg Edwards led a tour through Whitechapel, tracing crime scenes linked to Jack the Ripper and John Tall.
- Key local landmarks included the Quaker meeting house, the apothecary, and the coffee house Tall visited.
Failed Apple Pips Defense
- The defense's apple pips argument to explain cyanide poisoning failed because lethal doses require thousands of apple seeds.
- This poorly received defense likely doomed John Tall's chance for acquittal and made the case a laughingstock.
Public Reaction to Tall's Execution
- John Tall's hanging was a public spectacle, where crowds expected dramatic confessions and humor.
- Instead, he showed vulnerable prayer, upsetting the audience more than providing entertainment.
