Lizzie Borden autopsy controversy

The medical examiner took the bodies without the family knowing... he decided the thing I need to do is I need to go get a lobster pot, cut off their heads, and boil their heads until the skin comes off.

Fall River axe murders

There was another axe murder... another woman in Fall River was hit with an axe 19 times... they think they solved this one, they were like we know it was a Portuguese worker on her farm, they got him to admit to it, but as we know with former cases, they used to get people to confess to stuff that they never did.

Lizzie Borden case history

It's actually pretty fascinating that so many people associate the name Lizzie Borden with one of the most brutal axe murders of all time and somewhat unfairly because she was acquitted of these crimes and they never found the killer.

Lizzie Borden trial

The jury deliberated for not a lot of time. It was 90 minutes tops... they actually deliberated for like less than two minutes and the rest of the time they just sat there.

Lizzie Borden investigation

Most people don't realize that she was acquitted for the murder. I had no idea until I was doing some research just yesterday.

Lizzie Borden pop culture
