“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.
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.
