    Lizzie Borden took an axe... Or did she? Hello, this is my opinion on Lizzie, although the poem says she took an axe, what was John doing, the maid, and sister? The maid was the only person in the house besides Lizzie and Abbi. Did they set up the murders? John was out of town, suspiciously, and the sister was out with a friend. The father was running errands. Lizzie had an attorney and claimed Lizzie was sleeping during the murders. And if these people did associate with Lizzie, why, they as much

    Have you or someone you know ever been accused of doing something that you or that person would never do? The problem of the story is that Lizzie Andrew Borden was accused of the murderers of Andrew Borden and Abby Borden which were her stepmother and her father. I think that LIzzie Borden was innocent for many reasons. I think that she is not innocent because she was not in the house at the time of the murder. Also that the judge had proven her innocent so that is a good reason why she is innocent

    ¨Lizzie Borden took an axe and gave her mother forty whacks after she saw what she had done she gave her father forty one.¨ The issue here is that Lizzie Borden was guilty and justice was not done in court. Lizzie should have been locked up and charged for both murders that she was accused of doing. Lizzie Borden is guilty and should be charged with both murders.

    The Bordens Murders Unsolved Two people dead. No murderer found. One broken axe.

    Justine Moritz has been accused of killing William Frankenstein. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I stand by to tell you why Justine is innocent. The evidence to falsely accuse Justine Moritz is not enough to be punished eternally. To take her innocent life away for a crime she did not commit is wrong without reasonable evidence. In my mind, I truthfully believe Justine Moritz did not kill William Frankenstein. With the little evidence presented, it is clear and convincing that she did not kill

    Lizzie Borden has shown many instances that she is scared to even be put on trial, let alone all the other reasons that she shows she is guilty. One reason is that she burned the dress that supposedly had blood on it, and that they were gonna use for evidence. Another reason is that she said she was getting a tackle from the shed outside when Mr. Borden was murdered, for a fishing trip that was 1 week away, and later, Bridget said she didn’t even own a tackle. And for the final reason, she was upset

    Lizzie Andrew Borden was found not guilty for the murder and mutilation of her step- mother and father.

Although there were no other suspects to the murder

    The Murder of Andrew and Abby Borden In the years 1977 through 1986, over 300 guardians were murdered by their own kids (Heide, 1992). In Massachusetts there are roughly 124 people killed each year (Massachusetts Crime Rates, 2016). We all know that Lizzie Borden murdered her father and stepmother in her home in Massachusetts. It seems obvious that Lizzie committed this crime due to family friction, brutal weapons, and the evidence from her credibility. Undeniably, family friction involved with
