Lizzie Borden Investigation

	What makes the Fall River murders so confusing is that the motive, the weapon, and the opportunity for such a crime are all absent. They found no money or jewelry missing, not even small amounts of change were taken in the daytime break-in at the Borden home a year earlier. The home had been locked up as usual, the maid Bridget Sullivan-an Irish immigrant, 26, that had been working at the household since 1889-was washing windows, and daughter Lizzie was inside the house reading a magazine. Even if both were involved for some reason in this shocking crime, what became of the blood so conspicuously missing from the bludgeoned corpses?

Because they thought she was burning it because there was blood on it. Later in her jail time she was let go. Because of this she had gone to trial with 12 men. During the trial she had shown no emotions to her parents death witch had concerned the 12 men. In the trial Lizzie never took stand for the 12 men. For this reason I think Lizzie did try to kill her parents with the poison but someone else killed them, that’s why she had shown no emotions. That someone who problem killed Abby and Andrew Borden could have been the person who Andrew was having trouble with. As saying that Andrews employers has rumors that a customer did not like him and that Andrew owed him something but never gave it to him. June 20th , 1893 Lizzie was found not guilty and acuanted. Lizzie commited the crime she had done to avoid the evidence. For this reason Lizzie was found not guilty on June 20th 1893. Lizzie and Emma inhareted their fathers estate. Thry had bought a house for themselves. Emma had died 10 days later from the flu then Lizzie died 3 days later. The case had then been set for a mystery formany years, and many people has many different opinions on who killed Abby and Andrew

Some people may say that it was right for Mary Surratt to have been hanged. However, even though she knew about the shooting irons, only one person new about the irons. That

The last reason why Lizzie Borden is because she did not have a good relationship with her step-mother and didn’t consider Abby her mother. Lizzie Borden stopped calling her mother at a young age because of an affair. Although Lizzie Borden was most likely the murderer, there is still a small chance someone else was the murderer. The “Inquest Testimony of Lizzie Borden” points out,“I know of a man who has not been friendly with him. They have not been friendly for years.” Most sources said that no one had anything against Andrew Borden, but in Lizzie Borden’s testimony she says someone was not friendly with Andrew Borden and has not been for a very long time. This man that was not friendly with Andrew Borden could have been the murderer. Although there is more evidence that says Lizzie Borden is the murderer, there is still a chance that she is innocent.

Mrs. Borden was found with her head crushed in. there was a hole about 1.5 X 5.5 inches along with a scalp wound where the flesh was cut off but not separated from the head. The wound was 2 inches long by 1.5 inches wide. On the left side there were four wounds. Three of them went into the skull, one taking apiece right out of the skull. Many of the wounds crushed through to the brain. Altogether she received 18 blows to the head (Porter 19).

Even though it happened 21 years ago, it is still the talk around the world. JonBenét Ramsey was murdered on the day after Christmas in 1996. To this day, no one knows the truth about who actually killed her. She was found dead inside her basement with a broken skull and bruises that implied that she was strangled to death. Besides the bruises on her neck that implied the strangulation, a garrote was also found tied around her. Before JonBenét was found in the basement, her family found a ransom note on the staircase. Even with all of the evidence that has been gathered, there has been no one charged with the murder of JonBenét. There has been a lot of suspicion about who actually killed her, but research gives a lot of reason as to why it

Have you ever been so angry you thought about killing your parents with an axe? Well many people think Lizzie Borden did this exact thing. Lizzie Borden was accused of murdering her step mother and father with a hatchet on August 4, 1892. While on trial, the jury found her innocent, but many other people think her to be guilty. I think that Lizzie Borden is innocent of the murder of Andrew and Abby Borden because she loved her father, didn’t have a problem with her stepmother, and there was no physical evidence found at the crime scene. Lizzie Borden was found innocent by law, so why should it be questioned?

People say she did it out of a fugitive state. Some people even think she did it naked. Looking at all the research, I believe Lizzie Andrew Borden is responsible for the murders of Abby and Andrew Borden. Lizzie Andrew Borden was born on July 19, 1860, in Fall River, Massachusetts, to Sarah and Andrew Borden. On

Back then women were viewed as weaker and more fragile than a man. Most of the crimes committed even till this day has been men. Women were rarely deemed murderous back then. Also, the evidence that was not admitted to prove her guilt was probably because of the system being unfamiliar with a female murder especially one as brutal as to what Lizzie Borden had done. Fingerprint evidence was probably deemed unusable back then seeing it was considered a new concept to forensic science in this case. There was no familiarity with fingerprinting or any evidence involving identifying blood on clothing instead of the regular “base paint” that Lizzie said was the dress she burned. Many people were outraged in the community on the grounds that Lizzie had gotten away with murder but if it was a man he would be completely crucified in the court for his crimes. This introduced the bias that we see in the criminal justice system today with female offenders and the violent crimes that are committed at the hands of a

The legal system works well even if people criticize it and say that it is flawed and invalid. Some cases might be hard to understand and hard to solve at first, but in the end, most cases get solved. People claim that the wrong people get arrested because the legal system does not correctly do its job. Most cases are actually solved with the correct verdict. The Trial of Lizzie Borden was a confusing court case with many factors that did not add up at first, but eventually, everything did. Lizzie Borden was guilty. In Fall River, Massachusetts on August 4 , 1892, the Borden family’s maid, Maggie Sullivan discovered the bodies of Andrew and Abby Borden. The maid was resting in her bed upstairs after cleaning and heard Lizzie Borden, the

The Famous Murder Trial’s Killer Discovered Lizzie Borden’s trial was one of the mysterious and famous murder trials in 1900’s. This murder trial took place in the Borden’s house on the 4th of August, 1892 in the city called Fall River, Massachusetts. The Borden’s house incorporated Andrew Borden and his second wife, Abby, his two daughters, Lizzie and Emma, and a housemaid Bridget Sullivan. However, the main suspect was revealed to be Lizzie Borden in the trial; therefore, she was arrested for her father’s and stepmother’s murder. A look at the evidence of the murder case proves that Lizzie Borden was guilty of her father and stepmother's murder.

The reasons lineup altogether: Lizzie was suspected for killing her parents because she kept changing her alibi (excuse) every time she was questioned, her attire of clothing may be evidence connected to the bloody murder of Andrew and Abby and she was suspected of being in the house during the time that Abby and Andrew were murdered. Some people still think Lizzie’s trial was unfair, mostly because it was held in the 19th century. But if the murders and the trial were held in the modern world today where technology has advanced with DNA processors, lie detectors and other upgraded tools to finding suspects for crimes, would Lizzie Borden still have been found as not guilty or would she be truly revealed as one of the most infamous woman murderers in

Lizzie Borden was a suspect in the murder of the Borden parents which were killed with an ax in August of 1892, they lived in a greenhouse in Maryland in the town called fall river. Although she was not convicted of the murder of Andrew and Sarah Borden. I think lizzie borden killed her parents and this is why.There was many weird things about lizzie borden.Why would she kill her own parents? Her dad was very wealthy and her stepmom was greedy but if her father died she would inherit what would now 7 million dollars and she felt like she owed it to her real mom, who had been “replaced” her stepmom after her mom's random death. She had some weird behaviors before the murders and after. Before her parent's murder, she tried to buy poisonous acids for cleaning the house and they found one of her white dress with inconsistent dark red spots that were hidden in one of her drawers.In this case none was arrested but 2 people including lizzie were tried.Why wasn't Lizzie Borden or anybody else arrested, Lizzie was not arrested because she was just Sunday school teacher, so the court thought that a teacher of Jesus would never do such a thing and, she had a clean record.

Abraham Lincoln was dead. Her house had been used to plan the murder. The last day of Mary Surratt was upon her. The prison door opened and the convicted people walked in. Mary nearly fainted when she was exposed to the sight of the gallows. Three dug graves and open coffins stared her down. They were marched off to the gallows to be executed. Her case was one of the most controversial during the Civil War times. Was Mary Surratt actually a conspirator in the assassination of Lincoln, or was she just an innocent bystander? I believe that Mary Surratt is guilty, and got caught up in too many lies. I don't believe she should have been executed, but she was indeed guilty. Evidence lies in the fact that she knew about the 'shooting irons',

The Bordens Murders Unsolved Two people dead. No murderer found. One broken axe. Lizzie Borden is guilty of murdering her parents because she burned a dress that the court asked for as evidence, she said she was in the barn but she lied, and when Mrs.Borden was killed the murderer was still in the home to have killed Mr.Borden a few minutes later.
