When the clemency case came up for his review in this case, Pat Brown's assistant evaluated the case and, quote, acknowledged there had been serious irregularities in the trial, but ultimately decided that the evidence was so overwhelming that Elizabeth Duncan acted with malicious predatory intent.

So they denied the request.

Yeah.

I mean, again.

It's everything we're saying.

There was some extra little spice in there that didn't need to be there that could have and now probably would fuck up the trial.

A big time.

But the meat of the trial was there.

Exactly.

And again, a very different time.

Yeah.

So she exhausted all of her appeals at that point.

And Elizabeth Duncan was sent to the gas chamber on the morning of August 8th, 1962.

And so were Louis Moya and Gus Baldonado.

Whoa.

elizabeth's last words before the gas was released where's frank that that makes sense that makes sense and then the cyanide pellets were dropped and that was a wrap on elizabeth damn a few minutes later at 10 12 the prison doctor announced all three were dead and elizabeth duncan was actually the last woman executed in the state of california wow isn't that crazy what a distinction

Now, in state records, it seems that she was buried on the grounds of San Quentin Prison, but there's actually no records of her grave being in the cemetery.

Huh.

The general consensus is that Frank actually claimed her remains after the execution and that he had her buried in a private cemetery.

Not one part of me believes that.
