## Caption

Ruth Ellis’s case exposed a brutal flaw in Britain’s old justice system: one murder conviction, one mandatory sentence—death. ⚖️ Her claims of abuse couldn’t sway the law, and she became the last woman executed in the UK. Decades later, her story still forces a hard question: can justice exist without mercy?
