Lizzie Borden Murders

In The Murder of Helen Jewett, Patricia Cohen uses one of the most trivial murders during the 1800's to illustrate the sexiest society accommodations to the privileged, hypocritical tunneled views toward sexual behavior, and the exploitation of legal codes, use of tabloid journalism, and politics. Taking the fact that woman was made from taking a rib from man was more than biblical knowledge, but incorporated into the male belief that a woman's place is determined by the man. Helen had the proper rearing a maid servant, but how did she fall so far from grace. Judge Weston properly takes credit for rearing her with the proper strictness and education. Was Helen seduced at an early age and introduced to sexual perversions that were more

You are correct when you state “It is always difficult to know for sure whether someone is guilty or innocent, even if they admit one way or the other” That was my first thought until I read into the case a bit more. I stated, “the son did it.” Because as you mentioned Mrs. Hossack did not have emotion until her son spoke, did she show emotion because she was afraid of what he may say? As far as the dog wouldn’t the son know the dog’s behaviors?

All the victims died in the afternoon and some died within an hour of a house call by Dr. Shipman, which established another pattern set by Harold Shipman. Dr. Shipman proceeded further by forging death certificates and orchestrated his colleagues approving forged cremation forms for the victims. All victims were cremated, which destroyed the evidence for law enforcement to be able to recover if needed. He was under the suspicion of murder but was never informed to stop practicing during any investigations or allegations (Daily mail.com). The British law enforcement officials never arrested Dr. Shipman

Their daughter, Lizzie Borden was the suspect in these murders and mutilations. She was arrested 7 days after the murders on August 11th, 1892. However, a jury found her not guilty after she went to trial.

	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?

Once Jane was arrested it took a year for her to confess to the murders. Jane even reportedly tried poisoning herself for sympathy. When it came time for trial, the jury found her not guilty by reason of insanity. In one news report they quote Jane saying “ she never would have killed all these people if she had been married and had a happy family.” Jane was then sentenced for life at Taunton Insane Hospital, with multiple suicide attempts, till her early 80’s and died in the year 1938. What lead Jane to kill is still unknown, but researchers would say it was her childhood trauma and father’s neglect and abuse that truly created this famous American serial killer (Allen, Averill, Cook, 2005).

It seems obvious that Lizzie Borden did not kill her parents but did try to from the poison she had bought. Lizzie didn’t actually buy the poison, but she had gotten the maid to go out to get it. Lizzie got the maid to get it by saying she had to get it so she can get stains out of her dress. The poison was an acid named Prussic acid. Lizzie used the acid to slowly poison her parents. Why did Lizzie wanted to kill her parents is her getting payback. For example Lizzie and her sister Emma never got along with her stepmother, and they kina didn’t like their dad at thetime as well. No one rally liked the Borden family most of the town didn’t really liked Andrew and his shady business. Furthermore Andrew Borden was known as

On August 4th, 1892, a horrific murder took place. On that day, a young woman named Lizzie Borden was accused for murder, but some think she is innocent. I believe Lizzie Borden is guilty. She did not have good relationship with her step-mother, there were no signs of anyone trying to break into the Borden home, and she was lying about where she was when the murder occurred, she said she was outside in the backyard but there were no footprints or anything to prove she was. Lizzie Borden is guilty and here are 3 reasons why.

Vanessa Vermont, a gorgeous woman found dead in her own kitchen, laying on the floor with a fatal head wound on the back of her head. Just recently she bought a new broiler and need and outlet over her kitchen counter, something her husband could do. And it is right where she was murdered. There is also a woman’s briefcase on the floor near the kitchen. Which means Mrs. Vermont was leaving, which in turn could’ve enraged the husband.

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?

James Patrick Bulger was born on the 16th of March, 1990, to Ralph and Denise Bulger in Kirkby, Merseyside.

Early the next morning of December 8th, the lifeless body of Debbie Carter was found strangled in her small apartment. The murder of Debbie Carter flipped this small, rural, bible-belt, town on its head. People were outraged, overwhelmed, and stunned that such a thing could happen in this town to a young, beautiful girl whom everyone had known. This gruesome act put enormous pressure on local law enforcement to find the atrocious criminal. Finger prints, hair, and blood spatter was carefully collected from the scene.

Judias Buenoano, who is sitting on death row in Texas, masqueraded under various pseudonyms for years while she went about killing a couple of husbands, a fiancée and a son for their money. Diana Lumbrera, between 1977 and 1990, smothered her six children to death, one at a time, including a three-month-old daughter. Eventually, Texas doctors got wise, realizing they were not dealing with an unfortunate mother with a streak of bad luck. Lydia Trueblood of Pocatello, Iowa, poisoned an offspring, five husbands and an in-law earlier in the 20th Century. During the 1960s and 1970s, Germany's Maria Velten poisoned two husbands, a lover, an aunt and even her father.

Born in 1945, Christopher Wilder, later named the Beauty Queen Killer went on a murder spree. He weaved cross country from Florida to California to New York, eventually dying at a gas station in New Hampshire on his way to Canada. Wilder came from Sydney, Australia where he was the son of an Australian woman and an American naval officer. He did not have any signs suggesting future violent behavior, but did have two near death experiences. The first of which occurred at birth when both he and his mother almost died, but the doctors were able to save them. The next near-death experience happened when Wilder nearly drowned in a swimming pool. In observation of later court cases, he grew up in a wealthy family and was an only child. His parents acted in denial towards his later actions, willingly paying bail and helping him leave Australia.

Evidence: Borden is in a bar with a bunch of drunks performing a trick where he catches a bullet, Angier steps up wearing a disguise, slips a bullet into the chamber, and asks, "Which knot did you tie Borden? Which knot did you tie Borden?".
