    Lizzie Borden

    Lizzie Borden was a woman who became infamous for being accused of murders of her father, and stepmother. On the morning of August 4, 1892, both were found brutally murdered in their home. Lizzie was the prime suspect, as she was present during the murders and hated her stepmother. Despite being arrested and tried, Lizzie was acquitted due to lack of evidence, and the true identity of the murderer remains uncertain to this day. There is a lot of talk and speculation of who really did this. Let’s talk about it.   Anderson, Sonja. “How Lizzie Borden Got Away with Murder.” Smithsonian.Com, Smithsonian Institution, 23 July 2019, www.smithsonianmag.com/history/how-lizzie-borden-got-away-with-murder-180972707/.  Davis, Paul. “Part Five: Jury Decides Fate of ‘spotless’ Lizzie.” The Providence Journal, The Providence Journal, 26 June 2013, www.providencejournal.com/story/news/special-reports/2013/06/26/20130626-jury-decides-fate-of-spotless-lizzie-ece/34402507007/#.  Moriarty, Erin. “Was Lizzie Borden a Notorious Killer or Wrongly Accused?” CBS News, CBS Interactive, 31 July 2021, www.cbsnews.com/news/lizzie-borden-accused-killer-axe-48-hours/.
