An extraordinary case in British legal history: Timothy Evans
Fill in the gaps with the words below. It should be born in mind that the word enquiry is used twice
Law and order, crime and punishment

The story began when a man called Timothy Evans was arrested for the murder of his wife and baby. He was charged with the double murder, but a short time later one of the charges was dropped and he was tried for the murder of his daughter only. During the trial Evans accused the man whose house he had been living in, John Christie, of the crimes, but no attention was paid to him. The jury found Evans guilty and he was sentenced to death. An appeal was turned down and he was executed in 1950.

Some time later, more women’s bodies were discovered in Christie’s house: two, three, four, five, six. John Christie was the police’s chief suspect and they started a nationwide hunt for him. He was soon apprehended. Alleged statements by Christie while he was in custody cast doubt on the Evans hanging. When he went to court, Christie denied that he had murdered Mrs. Evans, but in private it was said that he confessed to that crime. His plea of insanity with regard of other murderers was rejected and he was convicted of killing his wife.

Soon afterwards there was an enquiry into the execution Timothy Evans. The judges decided that justice had been done and Evans had been rightly hanged. It was only in 1966 that another enquiry was set up. This time it was decided that Evans had probably been innocent and he was given a free pardon. Better late than never, as they say.

As you know, American writer Frank R. Stockton has left the ending of «The Lady, or the Tiger?» ambiguous to stimulate discussion among readers. You are not simply consumers of knowledge but you are also creators and you are not mere readers of this tale. Please write an interesting ending of the fairy tale and substantiate your argument.

1. the tiger

So in my mind there are multiple endings. let me start with the possibility that the princess signaled the man to choose the door with the tiger. Let me tell you why she was jealous she liked him first and he was the first one that returned love to her. She would obviously be jealous if she saw him with another women. Keep in mind that he was the most handsome man in town and they brought the most beautiful women in town. It would be a pain for the princess to see him with another women. In my mind she would rather see him dead then with someone else.

2. The women

The second possibility would be that the princess signaled the man to the women.Yes she loved him. But if she loved him that means she wouldn’t want to see him dead she would rather see him alive with another women. Of course she would be heart broken at least she knows that his right in front of her . Plus they might even meet if thing don’t go well with the women.

3. Plot twist

I feel like this story needs a plot twist. Such as the princess singled him to the right door but in the door is nothing his free and he would run away and be with the princess. Because she couldn’t see him dead nor with another women. She would rather run away with her lover.

Call of Duty: WWII is a 2017 first-person shooter video game developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision. It was released worldwide on November 3, 2017 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It is the fourteenth main installment in the Call of Duty series and the first title in the series to be set primarily during World War II since Call of Duty: World at War in 2008.

The game’s campaign is set in the European theatre and is centered around a squad in the 1st Infantry Division following their battles on the Western Front and set mainly in the historical events of Operation Overlord. The player controls Ronald “Red” Daniels, who has squad mates who can supply the player with extra ammunition, health, or grenades as well as a targeted grenade and target spotting; none of these are automatically replenished in the campaign. The multiplayer mode features map locations not seen in the campaign. The mode also features the new Divisions system, replacing the create-a-class system that previous games in the series used. A social hub, Headquarters, was also implemented into the game, allowing for players to interact with each other.

Sledgehammer Games were interested in bringing the series back to World War II after developing their previous title, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (2014), which featured advanced movements and futuristic warfare technology. Studio head Michael Condrey stated that he was unsure if a World War II game would feel right after creating a futuristic title like Advanced Warfare, but the developers ultimately decided to create a game in this time period. They also chose to include atrocities and Nazi extermination camps apparent during this time period in the campaign mode in order to deliver an authentic war story.

Upon release, the game received generally positive reviews from critics. Praise was given towards its story, the combat support of squad members and lack of regenerating health, multiplayer modes, and visuals. However, it was criticized for the single-player’s lack of innovation and similarity to past games set in the same era. The game was a commercial success, creating $500 million of revenue within just three days of its release. It became the highest-grossing console game of 2017 in North America, and generated over $1 bt

This game is also one of my favorites i really learned about what happened in world war 2 plus if i am not mistaken some of the characters were actually real people like it was based of real solders who went to war at that time. Overall i recommend this game as well

Horizon Zero Dawn is a 2017 action role-playing game developed by Guerrilla Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The plot follows Aloy, a young hunter in a world overrun by machines, who sets out to uncover her past. The player uses ranged weapons, a spear, and stealth to combat mechanical creatures and other enemy forces. A skill tree provides the player with new abilities and bonuses. The player can explore the open world to discover locations and take on side quests. It was released for the PlayStation 4 in 2017 and Microsoft Windows in 2020. Horizon Zero Dawn was praised by critics for its open world, story, visuals, combat, characterisation, and the performance of voice actress Ashly Burch; however, the dialogue, melee combat, and character models received some criticism. The game won numerous awards and sold over 10 million copies by February 2019, making it one of the best-selling PlayStation 4 games. An expansion, The Frozen Wilds, was released in November 2017. A sequel, Horizon Forbidden West, is currently scheduled to be released for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in 2021.

This game is one of my favorites i honestly love the visual representation of the game and the story is amazing i would recommend this game 100%.
