The almost execution of John Lee in the year 1885 at the Exeter Jail in England. Lee was sentenced to death for the murder of an elderly woman whom had employed Lee as a footman. Three times Lee was led to the scaffolding to be hung. And three times for one reason or another the equipment would not work. Eventually they gave up trying to hang him and he spent the next 20 years or so in prison. He was finally released on December 18, 1907. After release Lee wrote a book on his experiences in prison. It sold well but nobody believed his claims of innocence.
