Real Housewives of Dubai star Caroline Stanbury slammed for getting a 'terrifying' facelift at 47: 'She ruined her beautiful face' there was insufficient material, even upon a view of the evidence most favourable to the accused woman, to support a verdict of manslaughter on the grounds of provocation. The Times newspaper, 22 June 1956. But she was to get a second chance to find happiness - and it was also her chance to break into the high life that she craved. But the marriage did not last.

We have to question whether this exercise of considering an appeal so long after the event when Mrs Ellis herself had consciously and deliberately chosen not to appeal at the time is a sensible use of the limited resources of the Court of Appeal. In any view, Mrs Ellis had committed a serious criminal offence. This case is, therefore, quite different from a case like Hanratty [2002] 2 Cr App R 30 where the issue was whether a wholly innocent person had been convicted of murder. A wrong on that scale, if it had occurred, might even today be a matter of general public concern, but in this case, there was no question that Mrs Ellis was other than the killer and the only issue was the precise crime of which she was guilty. If we had not been obliged to consider her case we would perhaps in the time available have dealt with 8 to 12 other cases, the majority of which would have involved people who were said to be wrongly in custody.

Each case leads to sensational media reporting and campaigns to either reprieve or execute the murderer.
