Lizzie Jorden Sparknotes

The possible suspects would be Lizzie Borden, Bridget (the maid), Emma (Lizzie’s older sister), John Morse (guest), and other people (enemies). The maid, Bridget rested in her bed after having washed the outside windows. During that, the murder happen when the maid was in the house. It might be possible that she did it because she was in the house and might have kill

The break-ins are a major clue for Lizzie’s innocence. In the trial, the police never found an evident weapon. Yes, they found many axes around, but none of them had any traces of blood. They searched long and hard and found nothing.

Lizzie Borden: The Falsely Acussed Axe Murdered - Persassive Manuscript (Attention-Getting Device) “Maggie, Maggie come quick father is dead, somebody killed him”, as Andrew Borden lays there, covered in blood from 11 hits to the head with an axe. (Relate to Adience) Murder Mysteries are very common inCinimaa, but this drama-filled case was far from scripted. (Thesis Statement) Lizzie Borden is an accused murderer who was wrongfully accused of murdering Andrew and Abby Borden.

When blood dries… it turns brown. For sure this sounds a little queasy that she would burn the dress with brown stains on them and not throw it away. As can be seen she for sure wanted all evidence to be permanently gone. Another example of evidence about Lizzie being guilty is two days prior to the murder she was found buying prussic acid (Gustafson, [45]). If you are not familiar in what that is, it is a deadly poison.

During this time they were trying to get evidence that Lizzie was the one to commit the crime. Unfortunately they were unable to find enough proof that Lizzie was the one to do it. So on June 20 she was found not guilty and acquitted for the murder of her father and

I read through all the witness testimonies and Lizzie Borden is guilty let me tell you why. All these testimonies mentioned something that made her look guilty. here’s why, she changed the story way too much, Lizzie Borden burned a really big piece of evidence, she also could have been jealous of her stepmother because her father bought her stepmother Abby Borden a house. Lizzie Borden seems to change her answers a lot in the very last document. Let me explain to you why she is guilty.

I had read an article that said the same week that lizzie was in trial because she was one of the suspected murders she had burned the dress that she wore that day her parents had died and it was covered in blood so to me that sounded like she was trying to hide something. Which at this time lizzie was not the most popular people in town especially to the people that knew her. I’ve also took into account that she maybe had evidence on her of she was holding her parents but the whole thing just seems kinda fishy. Which everyone in the community thought it was lizzie just of how she normally acts. The weapon that who ever the killer was had killed the parents with an axe

So the confused answers that she gave may not have been because she was guilty, but because she was in shock. Although police at the time were to aware of this so when she was not able to give a convincing story and her stories continued to change, Lizzie became the prime suspect in her parents murder. Due to the fact that she could not keep her story straight and her distressed state led to her arrest. Two days after she was questioned about the murders, Police Chief Hilliard arrested Lizzie. The next day she pleaded “Not Guilty” to her charges and then was transported to a rail car to be taking to the jail in Taunton, which is eight miles from her hometown.

(Guided notes) Ten months after the murder of Andrew and Abby Borden, another axe murder happened in Fall River. The similarities between these two cases are almost startling, the murders happened around the same time of day, no one saw or heard anything, and the wounds were almost identical in placement and number. However, during this murder, Lizzie was in jail so there was no possible way for her to have been the murderer in that case. The fact that two almost identical murderers happened in the same town only months apart couldn’t simply be a

First of all, Lizzie Borden is guilty of committing murder because of her strange testimony and alibi. Not only did Lizzie give an odd testimony, but her alibi doesn’t exactly make her seem innocent. According to Source #2, “At the time of her stepmother’s murder (around 9:30 A.M.), household

Andrew and Abby Borden are found dead in their home, in Fall River, Massachusetts on August 4, 1892. The most likely suspect is their daughter, Lizzie; however many factors came into play to clear her from a guilty verdict. Lizzie Borden, a thirty-two year old woman, is accused of the murders of her father and stepmother. An ax found in the Borden family’s basement, is the perceived murder weapon. However, the extensive amount of blows to the heads of the victims is unlikely to have been carried out by this small, young woman.

The largest trial upon doing so comes in the form of convincing everyone of the “true” events that took place that night. The trail of deceit she creates entangles almost everyone, maybe even herself. Mary rebuts the argument of her guiltiness by overwhelming others with her supposed “innocence”, yet Mary’s true, dark colors, that of a psychopath,

Lizzie had been accused of other crimes but was never caught, so maybe she thought she could have a good enough cover up story not to be caught again. Other people might say, “Lizzie would never actually act on any of her thoughts just like me and you wouldn’t either.” In paragraph 12 of “Fourteen Reasons to Believe Lizzie Murdered Her Parents” it states, “In 1891, cash and jewelry were stolen from the master bedroom in the Borden home. It was an open secret that Lizzie was suspected as having been a thief.” If Lizzie Borden didn’t have enough respect for her parents that she would steal money and precious jewelry why would she have any respect for them at all.

There were lots of loose ends and unsolved questions. I am here to convince you that Lizzie did not do it and, that she is innocent. Firstly, imagine being accused of killing your parents. How would that make you feel?
