This is such a thought-provoking topic with an opportunity for much discussion. Next, we will look at the bizarre death of Ellen Greenberg and the truly bizarre ruling by the medical examiner who ruled her death a suicide. Mel will then take us back to the early 18th century where a woman named Margaret Dickson was hanged for concealing a pregnancy. But things did not go as planned.
