Facts of the Crime:
On November 2, 1981, at the junction near Terra Bella and Highway 65 in Tulare County, a gruesome discovery was made at around 10:30 p.m. A young woman was discovered murdered in a white GMC Pickup truck. The young woman, found by her husband, had been shot twice with a shotgun. Michael was immediately detained and questioned for three days and then released because it is common for authorities to suspect the spouse in such murders. He was later rearrested on November 17, 1981, charged and convicted a year later for the murder of his wife Gwendolyn and their unborn son.
Hamilton was sentenced to death in Tulare County on December 17, 1982.
