No, there was not due process. An unelected body (New London Development Commission) decided to take her property by eminent domain. This was not conducted in a court of law with strict procedures for finding evidence, but by a process of administrative hearings.

Evidence was not at issue in this case. There was no dispute of facts, nor any question about guilt or innocence. The only issue was one of law. The fact that she still owned her property as the case wound its way up to the Supreme Court is the very definition of due process.
