LIZZIE BORDEN: GUILTY OR NOT?

LIZZIE BORDEN: GUILTY OR NOT?

After some extensive research, I have come to the conclusion that Lizzie Borden was guilty of the brutal murder of Andrew and Abby Borden. Although there is very little evidence to convict her, causing people to believe she was innocent, the evidence that investigators did gather was very strong and very convicting evidence. Emma Borden, Lizzie’s sister, was very suspicious of her. Also, instead of mourning over the brutal murder of her father Andrew Borden and stepmother Abby Borden, Lizzie was out partying and spending her large inheritance.

The evidence that was gethered was very crucial evidence. In my opinion, it was enough evidence to convict Lizzie. The first piece of evidence that I will discuss is the fact that her own sister was not only intimidated by but also scared of Lizzie. At first, Emma felt bad for her sister because lizzie was the one to find the bodies. But only a few days after the murders Emma began to be suspicious of her sister. She agreed to inform police of any suspicious behavior and she even slept in fear with her door locked at night. Later on after the trial Emma slowly became estranged from her sister.

The next piece of evidence is what Lizzie did. She became her own undoing. When Lizzie found the bodies she yelled for her maid Bridget. The maid came running downstairs to find deseased Andrew and a hysterical Lizzie. Lizzie had explained to to the maid that it must’ve been an intruder because nobody else was in the house except Bridget who was sleeping. Lizzie had told Bridget to run across the street and get the family physician. When she got to Dr. Bowen’s house he was not home, so she left a message with the doctors wife. Bridget returned home to Lizzie who seemed to be coping with what had just happened and tried to figure out what to do next. So she sent Bridget around the corner to fetch Lizzie’s close friend Alice Russell. The maid took off for a second time leaving Lizzie on the porch alone. Here is where things just don’t add up, if Lizzie had thought that it was an intruder, which whom she didn’t see leaving the house, then why would she stay at the house alone and unafraid of the alleged murderer?

Police had gotten to the Borden house to question Lizzie and to search for evidence. They found three hatchets and a shovel in the basement. One hatchet had the handle cleanly and freshly snapped off of it. This made police very suspicious of Lizzie and they later on took and to court and tried her for the murders of Andrew and Abbie Borden. But they found her not guilty of the crimes and sent her home.

So in my opinion, Lizzie Borden was guilty. But in the courts mind, she wasn’t. I believe that she was a cruel, heartless, cold-blooded muderer. On eday maybe the Borden family will see justice, because scientists will have machines that will help them to find more evidence to convict her.
