Or they could have drugged her and simply strung her up. I’m glad I don’t have that little black book.
For a hangman’s not to snap the neck the body has to fall for a certain distance. I don’t think that a shed would allow for that. Whether she knew it or not she was going to strangle.
“What reputation? If it came out that Bill Clinton was her best customer, would anyone be shocked? Hell, would anyone even be surprised? “
The only thing that would shock me would be to find that Bill actually ‘paid’ for the hookers.
“Whether she knew it or not she was going to strangle.”
Or... whether she wanted it or not, she was going to strangle.
