Description: More than 134 years after the murders of Andrew and Abby Borden, we revisit one of the most infamous murder cases in American history: the Lizzie Borden case, which captivated the nation and remains a subject of fascination to this day.At the center was Lizzie Borden, a 32-year-old woman from Fall River, Massachusetts, who was accused of murdering her father, Andrew Borden, and stepmother, Abby Borden, inside their family home on August 4, 1892. Both victims were found brutally killed with a hatchet while other members of the household were nearby. As investigators began piecing together the events of that morning, suspicion quickly turned toward Lizzie, whose conflicting accounts and behavior became central to the investigation.This episode examines the lives of the Borden family, the circumstances surrounding the murders, and the investigation that followed. We revisit the evidence presented against Lizzie, the sensational trial that drew national attention, and her eventual acquittal in June 1893. More than a century later, the case continues to raise questions about what happened inside the Borden home that morning, the evidence that shaped the prosecution, and whether the person accused of the murders was truly responsible.🔔 Subscribe for More True CrimeThis episode is made possible by @askventuralawyoutube | The Accident Law firm__________________________________Follow along on social :Instagram: / criminalappealpodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.c....Tik Tok: / criminalappealpodcast Website : www.criminalappealpodcast.com Find your hosts: Dr. Casey Jordan : / drcaseyjordan Dr. Colleen Butler-Sweet : / colleenbutlersweet_phd#truecrime #lizzieborden #truecrimecommunity #truecrimepodcast #criminalappeal
