Robert McGladdery, le dernier pendu d’Irlande du Nord.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nous sommes en janvier 1961 quand le corps d\u00e9nud\u00e9 et violent\u00e9 de Pearle Gamble, 19 ans, est d\u00e9couvert dans un champ au lendemain d’un bal. Elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 poignard\u00e9e \u00e0 plusieurs reprises mais l’enqu\u00eate montrera qu’elle est morte \u00e9trangl\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

Robert le frimeur, un petit voyou qui se croyait plus intelligent que tout le monde, sans pour autant que cela fasse de lui un coupable, est pour tous le meurtrier de Pearle, il a dans\u00e9 avec elle et s’est montr\u00e9 tr\u00e8s entreprenant.<\/p>\n

Des preuves seront pr\u00e9sent\u00e9es, mais c’est l’intime conviction des jur\u00e9s ( en 40 minutes de d\u00e9lib\u00e9ration) qui fera le verdict de mort. Le juge Curran, qui semblait encore sous le coup de la mort de sa propre fille, Patricia assassin\u00e9e neuf ans plus t\u00f4t, pouvait-il pr\u00e9sider ce proc\u00e8s\u00a0?<\/p>\n

Eoin McNamee<\/em> dans Orchid Blue <\/strong>(aux \u00e9ditions du Masque , d\u00e9cembre 2012), retrace les minutes de ce proc\u00e8s mais aussi les circonstances de la mort et de la vie des protagonistes de l’affaire Gamble. En prison on apprend \u00e0 mieux conna\u00eetre Robert McGladdery, mais sans que sa culpabilit\u00e9 soit si \u00e9vidente.<\/p>\n

Ce roman-v\u00e9rit\u00e9 vous conduit au c\u0153ur de l’\u00e2me humaine et dans les noirceurs de l’esprit, sans que vous ne puissiez condamner, ni innocenter les uns ou les autres.<\/p>\n

M\u00eame les aveux de Robert \u00e0 quelques secondes de la mort, nous semblent d\u00e9cal\u00e9s et tellement confortable pour une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 ayant soif de justice mais pas au prix de l’innocence sacrifi\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

Le 8 septembre 2008 la BBC a diffus\u00e9 un documentaire sur cette histoire \u00ab\u00a0 last man hanging\u00a0\u00bb, car elle est symbolique d’une mort toujours donn\u00e9e \u00e0 contrec\u0153ur par une civilisation surprise par le retour d’une violence toujours possible\u00a0, car Pearle a bien \u00e9t\u00e9 assassin\u00e9e\u00a0!<\/p>\n

Robert a surpris tout le monde en permanence, dans sa fa\u00e7on de se d\u00e9fendre ou de ne pas se d\u00e9fendre, dans ses zones d’ombres, dans son int\u00e9r\u00eat pour la potence. Ainsi devant le gibet, il cherchait la trace du fil de cuivre dont il n’avait pas compris l’usage.<\/p>\n

L’aum\u00f4nier W. Vance semble avoir entendu \u00ab\u00a0la confession\u00a0\u00bb de Robert peu de temps avant sa pendaison. Ce qui semble \u00e9tonnant c’est le d\u00e9tail que donne le condamn\u00e9 sur son costume clair, point \u00e9pineux du proc\u00e8s, comme si quelqu’un voulait en finir avec l’affaire une fois pour toutes…<\/p>\n

Reste ce livre lac\u00e9r\u00e9 d\u00e9couvert chez Robert, The long way de Spillane, serait-il le miroir de ce crime?<\/p>\n

Le 20 d\u00e9cembre 1961 \u00e0 8 heures du matin\u00a0; Robert McGladdery fut le dernier pendu de l’histoire judiciaire d’Irlande du Nord.<\/p>\n
