- Ronald True (17 June 1891 – 8 January 1951) was an English murderer who was convicted of the 1922 bludgeoning and murder by asphyxiation of a 25-year-old prostitute and call girl named Gertrude Yates. He was initially sentenced to death for Yates's murder, and an initial appeal was dismissed by the Lord Chief Justice. True's conviction was later reprieved following a psychiatric examination ordered by the Home Secretary which determined that True was legally insane. True was then confined for life in Broadmoor Hospital in lieu of his death sentence. He died of a heart attack while still confined at Broadmoor in January 1951, aged 59. (en)

- "Ask yourselves, when you consider the evidence of those medical gentlemen, what were the facts before the murder? Had this man shown any inability to control his actions? He had ... been mixing with people day by day, and if you were to look at the matter during the periods spoken of by Armstrong, for example, the whole period of Armstrong's acquaintance with him, and of Mazzola's acquaintance, it is a period in which the prisoner had been controlling his actions as a fact, and if you judge this statement by these learned medical men by what happened after the murder, it is odd, because [they claim] he could not control his conduct."
