Hi Darrell, I have many more - Thanks :)

No, never! Plenty of murders and depravity over the centuries

@@lazyhomebody1356 indeed., it is true,,,, i do hope BC has a lot of OLD stories to tell w/o having to step into Modern Times bcz : when i compare bRIEF case's OLDER stories with newer channel stories, like This Is Monsters, the thing I enjoy more about the old days is the methods and circumstances differed alot, so it is about 'poisonners', etc and not about 'cell phone tracking'... there is something nostalgically and historically charming about muders... of the old days.

@@darrellshoub7527 Agree. I love learning about the olden days as well. I watch Dateline and 48 Hrs, but this channel is the only YT or crime podcast I watch. Somehow "charming" is the right word!

Just remember in these “tales” that there was an actual innocent person who was victimized and had their life destroyed. So as you you sit back and relax, imagine the hell that these REAL people went through.

Those 'evil wealthy people' ...get bent...you're just jealous.

@@edamnaf9265 yes everyone is jealous of a rapist

I think she should have reported him then left

Back then there were class issues and still is in England

I'm not sure about "typical, or just being the wealthy who abused power. There was plenty of abuse of women and children by all members and scales of society. All many people needed was the opportunity to do so, wealthy or not.

Absolutely, poor young lady and even if she wasn’t a virgin it is disgusting that it would then be seen as ok for a man to force himself on her.

Kids at prep schools literally refer to us as "peasants"

@@lazyhomebody1356 Not sure about that, I have family members that went to "prep" schools and this has never been an issue. Maybe the schools was not as expensive as the ones you mention though.

@@suzannehaigh4281 I dated a guy whose little sister went to a MA prep school and they seemed nice enough,lol. Went there to see her in plays. But I have heard that multiple times! Not all schools though

Baloney,show us one iota of difference in this case and what goes on every day to women and CHILDREN in any ghetto in this world. For every low down dirty rat of a rich man there are a thousand good decent GOD loving rich men. For clarity I am not ,nor ever been rich and never set foot in any ghetto. I just make it my business to know the world I live in.

Oh, please. What utter crap. There is no proof whatsoever that this woman was anything other than a murderer. Grow up. Not all women are saints, and not all men are monsters. That's just sexists Leftist garbage that you repeat because it strokes your ego to do so.

It is or was?

@@giddyup4232 Was.

My great great grandmother was in London at this time. She passed on all the social braces to her family including my grandmother so of course we had to learn them. She loved that era I never understood why people love the Victorian era it wasn't nasty and filthy and run by men I sure wouldn't want to live back then but then again some things I don't want to see like the first car like my first electric light bulb I feel sorry for this poor woman she didn't deserve anything she got that's horrible so worst time to be alive for women

Quite true!

@@giddyup4232 Hello. It is all right the use of the Simple Present Tense in this case, when referring to past events as if they were happening now. Best wishes!

Ginger Kid Most marriages back then were not based on love anyway. But these marriages were based on trust and respect which were much healthier and long lasting, unlike today. My grandmother's and aunts had the same kind of marriages as these

People probably had more realistic expectations of marriage in the past. Marriage can be hard work. Your grandparents realised they were both in a bind. And decided to build a family together. I'm glad they had respect for each other.

I'm American but I believe the Eaton's owned Department Stores in Canada? No?

@@aimeefriedman822 That’s right! One of the best known malls in the country is still named after them. The Eaton Centre is in the heart of Toronto’s downtown and attracts millions of people each year.

@@Sauvium1 And there's a Murder, correct? I forget. Either an Eaton was murdered or an Eaton did the murdering, right?

I think her sister gave appalling advice. So sad

This is so true ....in our century she might have been convicted

In a way, it was "My life or yours"

First of all, we don't know the circumstances, or the age of her sister. If she was also young, then she didn't have the advantage of life's experience, or the wisdom that comes with it. Unable to predict what the future would hold, and a victim of a sheltered Victorian upbringing, and a patriarchal society herself, I can imagine her sister was giving her the advice that seemed best for her at the time. Who among us hasn't made choices we thought prudent at the time, yet turned out to be at best, undesirable, and at worst, disastrous? It's a tragedy all around, and my guess is that her sister felt awful for how this turned out. As any loving sister would. Now, if her sister was anything like mine, she would've cared only for herself, and her intent would've been to wreak havoc upon her sibling. But we don't really know either way, do we?

@@chachadodds5860 I love the way this twists at the end!

Thankyou Holly :)

@@BriefCaseOfficial It makes me want to go to that cemetery! I live in Niagara Falls Ontario and my grandparents came over in 1913 from England to work on a farm.

Thanks Sean :)

"very much so, so many thanks" ☕

Yes, most are narrowed minded-victim was faultless

I'd appreciate reading a comment with punctuation, thanks.

Check out Gabulosis .. She only does cases that are older. 😁

Thanks Anna

Sadly, almost all female ancestors I have that used to work as maids, had kids out of wedlock. Only one two of them have I figured out exactly who the father was even though the birth register said it was an "unknown" father. And surprise, surprise...the father was the man in the household where the woman had worked as a maid. Sad story, but oh so common. I can definitely understand why this one felt the need to do what she did. She had one helluva good lawyer, though.

Today that would be self defense.

If he had his way with her he might have forced VD or STD's upon her too?!?!

Agreed!! He probably thought due to his family's wealth & prominence he was exempt from any consequence for his actions. I'm glad she stood her ground & it worked out for her.

@Ben Avery Is a publican a person who owns a pub? What a great word

Lose job either way.

@@lazyhomebody1356 according to google yes

My thoughts exactly, Jessica.. 👍

Exactly, she only had things 2 lose like employment, ability 2 help support mom and sisters, place to live, and way 2 support her needs. Makes no sense that this young woman who never had any trouble with police or community/society would just turn into a killer 1 day and decide her employer would be her 1 and only victim. I understand that can happen but I don't think that's the situation here. I believe this woman felt like her honor was in jeopardy and in that time if she was dishonored, by force or not didn't matter, her life would pretty much be over. I say her life in the sense of no marriage proposition's, losing home, no employment opportunities, maybe having to prostitute as last employment resort, shunned by community and pretty much losing her life without actually dying.

Thanks for listening :)

Brief Case one of the best on KZfaq, perfect voice for narration!!

My great grandmother was born out of wedlock in the late 19th century. She was passed on to another family as a baby and at the age of 15 she was send from her German home town to France to be a servant girl. She was abused as well. There wasn't much you could do against that as a girl at the time. She married an older widower when back in Germany in her late 20s.

This is still happening but here in Asia. Sadly in the middle east where women from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are hired as domestic workers by wealthy Arabs have frequently been assaulted, persecuted and raped. This nonsense still goes on..

She protected herself from losing here virtue and that was when we were a moral society. Now we have open homosexuality on the TV on a daily dasis. Good fit this women she never got in trouble again so apparently she was just saving herself for her husband.

@@MikeSmith-cn6ub And what's the moral problem with homosexuality? There is none. In this day and age there is no moral duty to produce offspring anymore. The world already is overpopulated. What's immoral is to impose your outdated morals on others. Monotheism is a radical worldview incompatible with finding world peace. Luckily your world view is rapidly disappearing. Education for women is overcoming your evil grip on personal freedom. Give yourself a push and accept reality...

Thanks Karen, You too

"Invariably..."? Really...?

Two thumbs up Brief Case! Kudos! - from the Philippines

Glad you like them!

Thanks Lloyd

Brilliant, the brand is still very strong

I remember driving massey harris ferguson combines...showing my age

My husband's dad as well!

Thankyou

That's horrible! I bet the drunk excuse wouldn't work for robbery or murder. But a crime against a woman, Assaulter: "I was drunk "-- Judge: "OH, ok"

WHAT? So I see our country is not the only one trying to turn back the hands of time regarding women’s rights. Shameful!

For women from poor asian countries like the phillipines this is still the case. I had a philipino neighbour who did some years in service to a wealthy family in Qatar. She was in constant fear from the depravities of the male members of the household. She firmly believed if she had stayed she would have died. They had taken her passport but she was able to get the support to retrieve it and flee the country.

@Nicky L Maybe in terms of vulnerability. If something did happen the woman was in for a bad time.

A study indicated that one-third of the prostitutes.during Victorian times began as domestic servants who were "ruined" by their male employers and then discarded. Without a reference, a maid would be unable to gain respectable employment,

​@@Orphen42O And these days they're often former or current runaways, victims of sexual or other abuse from their own families. I don't see us having progressed much

Glad you enjoyed it

These sentences help change things

You're so right! That judicial pendulum has swung far too left for there to be any true justice being applied upon the true criminals in our decrepit society of today. I too am happy to hear this dear young lady, Carrie Ann had a lawyer who could articulate her case in a manner that allowed her to be set free. She did what she had to do to protect herself from further harm from someone who saw himself as an untouchable, simply because of his name. Sounds just like some of the elite who have placed themselves in positions of prominence today; whether they have done so by cheating the system or, like this decrepit arse, through their heritage of name and money. The only thing that's any different by today's low standards, is they seem to know we definitely have a 2 tiered justice system, thereby many criminals no longer try to hide their criminal actions, but instead they do their hateful crimes openly, boldly by putting their crimes live on Social Media, and even bragging about what they can and will get away with! Far too many people have become hardened, callous, cold, and even indifferent to their own and others, criminal behavior. It's beyond astonishing to see happening... even though we were warned these days were coming, we couldn't have been any more ill prepared for what we are dealing with. I'm only afraid to think of how much worse our days ahead will be and what we will have to endure.

Thank you so much!

@@BriefCaseOfficial I agree and your presentation is top notch ❤

You're so on point!! Even the thumbnails, it's just the facts, no neon or huge bloody words or anything for pure shock value. So appreciate BC!!

Thanks for watching :)

It bothered me that her sister told her to return...

@@marylevin9262: Me too! Unfortunately women are not good at defending each other. We are too indoctrinated in pleasing males or that amorphous entity, "society" to be able to see how our sisters are endangered by doing that. In this case the word "sister" is literal as well as a figure of speech.

@@marylevin9262 Yes, probably thinking of the money she sent home to their mother. What a horrible situation for her to be in...

Exactly. Those poor girls were damned if they did and damned if they didn't. If she told on him, she'd not have been believed and lost her job to not be able to find another. And if she didn't, she'd almost definitely be attacked and ravaged, maybe impregnated. She'd have lost her virtue and become a fallen woman. After watching many of these old cases, I have much admiration and a new respect for the women who lived in those times. So glad this had a good end. As good as was possible back then, anyway.

​@@jessicafain6630 Well said, Jessica.. I couldn't agree more! I read one comment saying had they been on the jury they would have found Carrie guilty and she was best to have told Massey's wife and then go back to her sister's place whilst looking for other employment. As you said, who would have believed her? Who would have employed her afterwards? That crazy man might have attacked (or even killed her) for rejecting his advances! She was absolutely *terrified* of him.. Have a great day, Jessica.. 🙋🏻‍♀️🤗

I thought that about her sister too! She should at least have advised her not to go back until her mistress returned. Honestly what an idiot 🙄

@@annagettings4675 Too right, Anna.. some sister, huh! A distraught Carrie was clearly seeking help.. and her sister told her to go back! 🙄

Have you read Sister Carrie? I kept thinking about that book while watching the video

Thank you!

@@BriefCaseOfficial You're welcome.

Sadly the sisters advice was a product of the cultural norms and power structures of the day. Carrie would never have been believed. She was also fed and housed by the family and offered a wage to help support her family in the UK. She was in an awful position.

We only have her side of the story, and as usual she got sympathy. Haven’t seen one of these yet where public opinion showed it for a male muderer

@@scathatch That is true unfortunately, still I wish her sister just told her to stay with her for few days. I know...maybe it was really not possible but still...

@@justinpino8115Well...she did not have any other motive that we know of and based on how she lived her life afterwards she does not seem like someone who would lie about what her employer did to her. Obviously we will never really know the whole truth but it is not that I believe her by default just because she was a girl, if that is what you mean.

@@justinpino8115 Even poor men had more options than a woman of any status, much less a poor one. I actually am a descendent of such a young girl (she was younger than Carrie) who felt she had no choice but to shoot her tormentor. And her mother treated her terribly for it and sent her away! - No sympathy at all from Mother. - The Sheriff, however, buried the event as an accidental death. Today it would undoubtedly have been self defense or justifiable homicide; although the girl only wanted to stop him from hurting her and protect her parents from his threats (threats made to keep control of the girl) she did know that the gun would kill.

Hi Nancy, I visited Toronto in October, amazing City, I hope to go back :)

Midnight Oil the band?

Wow, old rockers!

@@ibdalia69 yes, the Band!

Not only her virtue, but possibly also protecting her life! Even today, women too often die at the hands of rapists. Poor girl must have been terrified of him. I'm glad she didn't become a statistic!

@@ChanaRo613 yes, definitely

It probably wasn't only that but just protecting herself in general. My ex wasn't a good person so I get how she felt.

Hi Janet!

Good morning!

Good morning!

So glad I'm average, but have still had problems.

Women and girls are vulnerable to male predators no matter what they look like. Sexual assault is about power not whether the perpretraitor is attracted to the victim. Saying beauty is partly to blame for unwanted attention is suggesting women's beauty brings out uncontrollable sexual desire in men ie. It's a way of blaming the victim. Sadly women of all types of body types, looks, ages etc have been victims of sexual violence. It's not about the way we look but rather the fact that we're female and for some men that means being lesser hence they feel they're entitled to our bodies regardless of what women want or look like.

@@legoqueen2445 Including older and very young women.

@@legoqueen2445 True about r*** being about control, but I *do* notice less creeps when I make sure to dress in looser clothing, with no makeup and hair up; cheap fake wedding ring too. Looking as "homely" as possible. I have to open carry just to convince drunks that NO, we don't have a public bathroom, stop saying "Come on babe!" or pissing on the building in some sort of caveman-level "revenge." It's sad.

Yes she also probably become pregnant and had to leave her employment so she would have homeless, no job, the stigma of not being married and having a child brought terrible shame in those days
