Katherine Mary Knight: Guilty For The Murder Of John Thomas Price

In The Murder of Helen Jewett, Patricia Cohen uses one of the most trivial murders during the 1800's to illustrate the sexiest society accommodations to the privileged, hypocritical tunneled views toward sexual behavior, and the exploitation of legal codes, use of tabloid journalism, and politics. Taking the fact that woman was made from taking a rib from man was more than biblical knowledge, but incorporated into the male belief that a woman's place is determined by the man. Helen had the proper rearing a maid servant, but how did she fall so far from grace. Judge Weston properly takes credit for rearing her with the proper strictness and education.

Before the trial commenced, Mary was seen as an innocent woman who could, in no way have committed the crimes that were charged against her. The public believed she was wrongly accused because she was a Southern woman who was educated, in the upper class, a devoted mother, and a pious Catholic.

Mary played the role of defenseless innocent woman perfectly during the trial as well. Throughout her trial, Surratt played the role of helpless southern woman who was just trying to provide for and protect her family from harm. However, her attempt to fool the public that there was no way she could have done these heinous crime, failed

Poison throughout the ages has been a subject of fascination. This is particularly true in Victorian era Britain where the population became fascinated with poison as a means for murder. Although poisoning had not been new, the Victorian era produced an apex in poisoning cases. This essay hopes to explore the progression of murder through poison in Victorian society from its humble beginnings in the home as a common household product to a tool of deliberate murder and the subsequent fear it instilled that inspired legal reform that exists today. Firstly, this will be explored through the place poison had in the common home and Victorian society. Secondly, I will explore the professionalization of poisoning and growing fear of murder that became prevalent in the 1840s. Thirdly, I will explore the legal framework that changed in hopes to limit access and reduce the chance of poisoning.
