| | icNorthWales - I won't give up fight to clear Ruth |
 | | Mrs Jakubait, 83, says her sister had been involved in several violent relationships and there was a strong case to be made for provocation. |
 | | More than 50,000 people signed a petition calling for a reprieve, and even though, on the morning before her execution, Ellis made a statement implicating her other lover, Desmond Cussen, the then Home Secretary, Gwilym Lloyd George, refused to halt the execution. |
 | | Tomorrow, in the Appeal Court, Mrs Jakubait's solicitor, Cardiff-based Bernard de Maid, will argue that Ellis was ill at the time, suffering from post-traumatic stress dis-order, but the Crown is expected to contest the appeal. |
