So according to Dr. Nash, Elizabeth's personality was the same as most criminals and those who he came in frequent contact with in his line of work.

He said, a psychopathic personality is a social misfit who causes problems for themselves and the world they live in.

Yeah, and that's her.

Right.

And it's like, you can be a psychopath, but still be sane.

And I know that's hard to understand, but it's the facts.

Yeah.

So now that she was determined to have been sane, but really a lot, when she contracted Lewis and Gus to kill Olga, the jury followed the prosecutor's wishes, and they sentenced Elizabeth to death.

Whoa.

Yeah.

When asked for a reaction by reporters, she was defiant.

She said,

Liars.

All of them.

I don't think so.

After her trial, Lewis and Gus were also determined to be sane at the time of the murder, and they too were sentenced to death.

Yeah, you're all going down together.

Yeah.

According to author Deborah Holt Larkin, which of course we'll link her book in the show notes, she wrote, Duncan's trial might never have stood up to today's legal standards, which is pretty true.

It's highly likely that Gustafsson kind of tainted the jury a little bit with his repeated release of irrelevant facts.
