Edith Thompson was executed more than a century ago after her lover fatally stabbed her husband.
Freddy Bywaters , the lover of Edith Thompson, pictured with her and her husband Percy Thompson in the married couple's garden in east LondonThe case of a woman hanged over 100 years ago for the murder of her husband does not meet the requirements for a royal pardon, a commission has ruled.The review panel found that while her trial may not now be considered fair, there was no new evidence available.
Releasing its findings nearly a year on, the CCRC concluded the case "is not made out for the granting of a royal pardon". The CCRC also found her case to not be "exceptional" enough, unlike that of codebreaker Dr Alan Turing who was posthumously granted a royal pardonExplaining the difference between the cases, the panel said Turing's "moral innocence and significant wartime contribution" meant his pardon was "granted on grounds of exceptional factors", while the arguments involved in Edith's case were "not so extraordinary as to render hers... exceptional".
Reacting to the ruling, Prof Weis said he and his solicitors found the CCRC's conclusions "disappointing and surprising and believe they are wrong".
