England's last execution for heresy and blasphemy was in 1697.
The last public execution in the United States was in 1936 when Rainey Bethea was hanged in Kentucky. Public executions have been banned since then.

I believe the trial lasted 9 months, which at the time was the longest trial in California state history.

Yes. The California state animal is the California grizzly bear. Unfortunately, the last California grizzly was shot in 1922. There are, however, plans afoot to reintroduce the grizzly back into some of its former ranges - including the Golden State. As a related bit of information, there is a bit of debate over whether the California grizzly was "different" enough to be a subspecies of the grizzly. But with the last ones gone, we will likely never know. Links are provided.
On January 17, 1977, in the state of Utah, convicted killer Gary Gilmore was executed by firing squad. His brother had tried to get a stay of execution shortly before the execution but Gilmore insisted that he wanted the execution to go on as planned. He got his wish.
