  • Jeannace June Freeman (1941/42 - 2003) was the first woman ever sentenced to death in the U.S. state of Oregon, and remained the only woman ever sentenced to death in Oregon until 2011. Her conviction was upheld by the Oregon Supreme Court, though she was not in fact executed. She was sentenced to death in 1961, for the murder of her partner Gertrude May Nuñez Jackson's two children. They met when Jackson (32 years old) hired Freeman (19) as a babysitter. They soon became lovers, though the relationship was volatile. According to Jackson's later testimony in court, Freeman beat Jackson's son Larry to death in a fit of rage. Jackson agreed to conceal the crime and go along with killing her daughter Martha. They discarded both children's bodies in Crooked River Gorge, at Peter Skene Ogden State Scenic Viewpoint. The pair fled to California, where they were arrested a few weeks after the children's bodies were discovered and identified. Jackson was sentenced to life in prison, while Freeman received the death penalty. When Oregon voters abolished capital punishment in 1964, Gov. Mark Hatfield commuted Freeman's sentence to life imprisonment. She served 20 years, while Jackson served seven. Freeman changed her name to Wilma Lin Rhule, and was incarcerated again later in life for assault. Freeman died in 2003. (en)
