Bethea, who confessed to the rape and killing of a 70-year-old woman named Lischia Edwards, was convicted of her rape and publicly hanged in Owensboro, Kentucky.
Mistakes in performing the hanging, and the surrounding media circus, contributed to the end of public executions in the United States.
Pip’s notes – I’m a possible alternate timeline, public executions are brought back, only due to child molesters…. May or may not be those on the client list from Epstein’s little island.
………..Pip wanders into a wormhole……..*

The countries’ respective “interests sections” in one another’s capitals were upgraded to embassies in 2015.
In 2016, Obama visited Cuba, becoming the first sitting U.S. president in 88 years to visit the island

When you remove the barrier between two substances, the slight difference in their mass cause them to separate at different rates.
