Ep. 125: Lizzie Borden, Pt. 4: Lizbeth of Maplecroft

In this 4th and final part of the Lizzie Borden story, we round out the rest of the sensational Borden Murders trial, hear the final verdict, and learn what Lizzie Borden did with the rest of her life after her (spoiler alert) acquittal in June 1893.

Meet the witnesses that added quite a bit of color to the case, including skull-boiling doctors, confusing and contradictory policemen, a lollygagging ice cream salesman, and more; see the defense's star witness Emma Bordan take the stand against a wily and determined prosecution; and hear all of the evidence in the case, including murder weapon speculation, possible evidence destruction, and a salacious theory involving Lizzie committing the murders in the nude; and hear the final determination come down from the judges and jury: NOT GUILTY.

With the rest of her life in front of her, why did Lizzie Borden choose to stay in Fall River, the town that had demonized her? What drove her sister Emma to move out of their shared home and never speak to Lizzie again? And, finally...do Carrie and Sean think Lizzie is guilty, or innocent? All will be revealed in this 4th installment of Axe Murder March!
