Did this woman know how to tie the rope to ensure her hanging would work?

Just about any knot would do, wouldn't it? So long as it wasn't a slip knot?

“So long as it wasn’t a slip knot? “

I thought that an actual hanging noose was, in fact, a slip knot.

The whole point is for it to jerk tight, and snap the neck.

Every hangman’s knot I tied was a slip knot.
