Joseph is charged with murder also, and received a life sentence. Marie was also tried for capital murder. Oddly enough Marie never left the back seat of the car, the night that the patrolman was shot. However, as fate would have it, she too found that she had been sentenced to death. The family was completely separated.
Time passes on.
After numerous appeals Frank was executed in the electric chair. The execution did not go as planned. The chair malfunctioned, and in doing so flames shot out from the mask which covered Frank s head. Frank s body was burned during the execution process. Marie knew of the execution and also learned of the fact that her husband had suffered terribly through the execution process.
