Lets face reality, today Ruth Ellis would have gone to prison for several years then been released. Sadly, this woman somehow fell for a man with a privileged background who treated her like garbage. Clearly Ruth wasnt good enough for his family (who owned a good portion of land in the UK). Despite his privilege his desire for Ruth was simply lust. She could not get beyond him and seemingly, from this version, could not live without him. Based upon this - this guy wasnt worth dying for, let alone worth living for. If this version is accurate he wasnt worth anything and the fallout lasted many years later!
