Lizzie was found not guilty and she should not have. It took time for me to read the trial scripts and found facts from both, the defense and the prosecution attorney. Those facts are hidden in the scripts were no one would see them as they first appear to the eyes of the reader.
First, the police were did not found blood around the victims. Second, Lizzie had no blood on her either. To make a long story short (because I could write a book with all the facts never discussed before) lets begging with the actions done by Lizzie at the moments of the crimes. This being said because both murders were not done one after the other, those crimes were separated by 90 minutes up to a complete 2 hours. It was proved that those murders occurred during Lizzie's nap time. After reading this, I became sure Lizzie did not commit the crimes. She was sleep… period. But who did?
Let's mention the poison Lizzie tried to obtain illegally. The pharmacist's testimony was excluded in her trial after he testified for some hours on the topic. Why? Because Lizzie tried to obtain it but she did not obtain it. The axe is the fact authorities needed to work on because poison was not used.
Then the mention of a man walking around the house at the time of the murders was said. You have to remember that the Borden's home did not have electricity or telephones. It did not even have hallways. You had walk across each bedroom to get from side to side (I took time to study the sketch of the house). Also you must remember the fact that the cleaning detail was taking place at the time of the crimes.
Now let's go back to the first note, no blood around the victims. Of course the area had to be clean. The cleaning detail was there at the time. Even the axe had the best cleaning and the wood handle was put in a fire. Now let's go back to the second note, Lizzie had no blood on her. Of course there could not be none, she was asleep. When she woke up, she was visible shaken by the action of the day and called for help.
Let's take the man walking around the house. It was not the same man who went to the house to get paid. It was another man and here is where everything begins to make sense. The housekeeper was ruled out because she had nothing to gain by killing her employers. That was a wrong move by anybody's standard. In the scripts there is a mention that she vomited after breakfast. It was not the poison which Lizzie could not obtain. The housekeeper was healthy. One plus one is two. She was pregnant by the man seen walking around the house and she had a lot to get from the crimes.
When Lizzie was charged with the crimes, both she and her sister were struggling to beat the case. Also Lizzie, according to what I read from her testimonies (which were contradicting most of the time) did not have the brain of a woman her age. She had more like a slow going with no hormones going on whatsoever child. So these sisters did good not to bring attention to the cleaning detail. After all, the testimony from the housekeeper helped help Lizzie in the verdict.
Note: I didn't want to make this answer as long as a chapter but I have to add some facts. The Lizzie misconceptions are the result of people reading what others said for around 100 years and repeated as facts, but I went to the trial scripts and found some of the misconceptions and myths.
1. Lizzie did not have the brain of a woman her age, but Bridget Sullivan, the housekeeper, makes some irregular contradiction for a 26 year old. In fact, she did worse than Lizzie but she hadn't been the focus.
2. Rumors that the Borden's were being poisoned were not true. This begun when Mrs. Borden went to the doctor because she thought she was poisoned. Mr. Borden was feeling fine and the results were good.
3. Lizzie wanted to poison the Borden's with prussic poison she tried to obtain. Not true. That is a comment repeated for 100 years. Back then, poison was used for many things and it was common to find prussic or cyanide poison in persons systems in low dozes. It was given to treat venereal illnesses and had many other uses.
4. The burned dressed. Lizzie burned the dressed as a little girl having a tram trum. That was the way Lizzie was. She did not have the brain of a woman her age. Another fact is that burning the dress could not rid her of all the blood getting in her. There were no Plumbing and blood in her skin and hair would be obvious.
