Lizzie Borden was a woman who became infamous for being accused of murders of her father, and stepmother. On the morning of August 4, 1892, both were found brutally murdered in their home. Lizzie was the prime suspect, as she was present during the murders and hated her stepmother. Despite being arrested and tried, Lizzie was acquitted due to lack of evidence, and the true identity of the murderer remains uncertain to this day. There is a lot of talk and speculation of who really did this. Let’s talk about it.
