Fact - In 1721 a Scottish woman called Margaret Dickson was hung for killing her illegitimate baby shortly after its birth. As the cart took her body away, she awoke, very much alive. As her sentence had been carried out, she was allowed to go free. This lead to the term "till death" being added to Scottish law in the case of hangings.
