Thanks for this episode. It is worth remarking that the Alfred Oliver murder, to which Marjeram wrongly confessed, was highly publicised because of the failed attempt at the Coroner's inquest in October 1929 to implicate alcoholic American actor Philip Yale Drew - Richard Whittington-Egan's book about this case revived interest in it. The murder of Alfred Oliver remains unsolved.

The judge should not have prejudiced the jury before their verdict. In the US, a judge may not comment on his opinion regarding a matter before the jury. I doubt he deserved to be reprieved for insanity, but the jury should not have been prejudiced against that possible decision by the judge.

This case is a great example of the difference between a psychopath and a sociopath: when a psychopath kills someone he doesn't know or understand the difference between right and wrong, but when a sociopath kills someone he DOES know and understand the difference...he just doesn't care. Based on this story and the facts presented (as well as a real lack of motive for the murder), Marjeram was definitely a sociopath. This must have been one of the quickest trials (1 day) and fastest verdicts rendered (15 minutes) in British criminal history! Whether he was "evil" (as the prosecution claimed) or not is a matter of personal conviction. but he certainly got his wish: to be hanged.

This is a sad tragic and unusual case and convinces me that there were people out there who wanted to be famous any way they could ,there was massive publicity surrounding capital murder cases and not just in the UK. It was a dubious aclaim of course, with thousands of words being generated in newspapers,one way of getting yourself in the newspapers then,today this kid would be found guilty but insane and perhaps that medical condition he had too would probably have been treated today for better or worse serious. At the time this was probably the correct decision to execute him,acquitted he would have killed again probably, in 2023 its very different to 1963 nevermind 1930 although Tom Pierrepont was picking up on the point of deterant,frankly he was saying two things some accepted death as an outcome a bit like the highwaymen of old and others were plain crazy and delighted to walk to the gallows...fame arrived Pierrepont was hurt by that his mission was doing God's work.... and people didn't care anymore..
