What was the Lizzie Borden trials about?
There was only one trial, and it was to determine whether or not Borden was guilty of murdering her father and stepmother. She was acquitted, but the investigation was shoddy even by 19th century standards, so her acquittal may say more about the ineptitude/incompetence of the investigators than about her actual innocence.

Did the Borden sisters try to find the killer after Lizzie's acquittal?
Lizzie and her older sister Emma posted a reward ($5000, a substantial sum in that time period) and vowed to find their parent's killer. There is no proof that, aside from the reward, either sister made any effort to detect the guilty.
What was Lizzie Borden's mother's maiden name?
Emma was Lizzie's sister's name. She was about 10 years older than Lizzie and took care of Lizzie after the death of their mother when Lizzie was around 3. Emma was visiting friends in another town when the murders took place. She stood by Lizzie through her arrest and aquittal. Neither sister wanted to return to the house after the murders so Lizzie bought a much bigger house in a fancier neighborhood and Emma lived there with her for several years. But something happened between the sisters and Emma moved to a house of her own which was much more modest. The Borden's remained estranged for the rest of their lives. There was a rumor that the dispute between the sisters was an inappropriate relationship Lizzie had with an actress from New York City. But whatever the disagreement, the women were never able to totally reconcile. Emma died within days of Lizzie in early 1927. At the death of their father and stepmother, Emma and Lizzie shared equally all of the Borden assets, which were substantial. At their deaths Emma's wealth had more than doubled. She led a very modest and quiet existance. Unlike Lizzie who had spent a good portion of her inheritance. She entertained for people from out of town. The jury found her not guilty but the people of Fall River were of a different opinion and Lizzie was ostrasized by the majority of the people she used to socialize with. She spent money sometimes without thought. She had also spent a conciderable amount helping her actress friend, whom had money problems. Today all the Bordens are together again. Lizzie and Emma were buried beside their birth mother, father and stepmother. The house where the murders occured is now used as a bed and breakfast that claims the house is haunted by Lizzie. Who knows, maybe it is.
What is a good thesis statement showing that Lizzie Borden is guilty i can't think of one and my paper is due tomorrow?
How about 'Due to the mores and double-standards of Victorian-era America, the jury rejected the evidence at trial to aquitt a female killer'.
What happened the day that Lizzie Borden murdered her parents?
Lizzie gave several different accounts of that day. Closest to the true would be: Lizzie her step-mother Abbey and the Borden's maid Bridget were by themselves in the house. Bridget was ill and after washing the outside windows she retired to the attic to lay down. Lizzie was everywhere and nowhere according to her testimony. She was ironing, in the basement, in the barn, in the back yard picking fruit. Hunting fishing sinkers in the barn loft. But Abbey Borden was attacked and murdered with a hatchett. An 1 1/2 hr. later Andrew Borden was attacked and murdered while taking a nap in the parlor. Abbey's body was not found until after Andrew's. Lizzie was arrested on August 11, 1892.
How many Times did Lizzie Borden hit her mother with an axe?
Nowhere near 40 for her mother and 41 for her father. In fact Lizzie was deemed to be not guilty so we are supposed to agree that she killed no one and therefore that she"did" zero whacks with the hatchet.However most of us know better than this and the answer is that Lizzie gave her stepmother, Abby Borden, a woman nearly as young as Lizzie (33) 18 whacks and her father 15 whacks. I should think it would have taken a lot of work to give each of them 40 whacks especially considering Lizzie was tied up in the Victorian era corset of the day and it was an extremely hot summer morning when she committed the murders.Not very easy to swing an axe in a tight-laced corset and whilst withstanding what was probably 80 degree temperature.
Why was Matthew weeks hanged?

What reasons Lizzie Borden was found not guilty?
To make a long story short, Lizzie Borden was found not guilty because she was a young woman of good breeding in an age that viewed women as meek, mild and unable to have an original thought on her own. The Victorian Age looked at women differently than today. The jury (made up of 12 men) could not imagine that this quiet Sunday school teacher, probably friends with their wives or daughters, could pick up an ax and do violence to her own parents. Unfortunately, because of the 'non-guilty' verdict, people seem to think that the Lizzie Borden case is still a mystery. The only mystery is how those 12 men could have been so clueless. There is no mystery. The evidence was overwhelming, physical and circumstantial. But Lizzie found out the hard way, just because she had her father's money, she most certainly did not live happilly ever after. She was scorned by her former friends and most everyone else in Fall River, MA, where she lived her whole life. In the years after her trail and aquittal, Miss Borden was no stranger to trouble. Almost arrested for shoplifting, she narrowly averted another scandal. And her relationship with an actress, most felt it inappropriate including her sister Emma, had tongues wagging from Boston to New York City. She was also astranged from her sister, whom was her only sibling, and she led a mostly isolated and lonely life. For years, she lived alone until her death from complications from gall bladder surgery.
