The Florence Maybrick Affair
Gentlemen of the jury, there is no doubt that Florence Maybrick is guilty of the murder of her husband Mr James Maybrick. James Maybrick did not die of natural causes he was murdered I repeat James Maybrick did not die of natural causes he was murdered. Florence Maybrick killed her husband. Florence Maybrick deserves the full sentence, she is an evil woman who deserves to die. Florence Maybrick was married to a much older man called James Maybrick he was a wealthy man and he was married to a woman called Florence, Florence was much younger than him but they were happily married with two children and they lived in a huge mansion, life was great but things began to change. Mr Maybrick only gave Florence £7 a week to keep the house, that was not enough to pay all the bills and the servants wages was it? Florence became deeper and deeper into debt and she started to become depressed, she also found out that her husband James had started having an affair with another woman, as well as being depressed, Florence was jealous, this is a reason to kill. Florence became really depressed she didn’t know what to do and she had not many people to turn to.
