She was convicted without hard evidence and based on unproven hypotheses today (early twenty-first century) would not hold in a modern trial. She was executed by firing squad. Legend holds that the squad had to be blindfolded not to succumb to its charms,

however, are proven facts that gave a farewell kiss to his executioners and, of the 12 soldiers who formed the firing squad, only they matched curiously 4 shots, one in the heart that caused his instantaneous death. 

The officer in charge, is available as well in these cases, finalized the act unnecessarily with a shot of grace in the temple. The news traveled the world. There was even a news story that explained this dramatic moment to describe the expression on his face, drop shape and disposal of the body on the floor. His body, 

which was not buried, was used for learning anatomy medical students, as was done with the executed at the time, but his head embalmed, remained at the Museum of Criminal France until 1958, which was stolen, probably by an admirer.
