That would have been great but Lizzie Borden's trial was held in 1893, a time when although it was possible, it was just not practical. In fact the day to day proceedings of the actual trial as reported by the press you will find mostly sketches of the key players.
Lizzie's trial ran from June 5, 1893 to June 20, 1893.
His point was that a young woman of Lizzie's breeding and class would not have done such a horrendous thing to members of her own family. For us living in the 21st century we know all too well that murder knows no boundries of class or money.
Lizzie Borden v. The State Of Massachusettes.
Lizzie borden killed her father and her stepmother. she was the one who had something against her stepmother. she also had something against her father because he married the stepmother.
Under oath at her murder trial Lizzie stated her full name, so christened, as Lizzie Andrew Borden. When asked if Lizzie was short for Elizabeth she replied no. After her trial and aquittal Lizzie moved to a larger house in a better neighborhood and changed her name to 'Lizbeth'. Her tombstone reads LizBeth Borden.
Lizzie Borden is buried in the Borden family plot at Oak Grove Cemetery, Fall River, MA. Resting with her are her father Andrew, her biological mother Sarah, her sister Emma and I believe a sister that died before Lizzie's birth (named Alice). Lizzie's step-mother Abbey, whom was murdered with Andrew, (and Andrew's second wife) in August 1892 was buried with her own family in a neighboring town. Lizzie's tombstone bares the name LizBeth Borden, the name she took after her trial in 1893.
During Lizzie Borden's trial in 1892 women were not allowed to serve on a jury. In some states women could vote in 1918, but in 1920 it became nation-wide.
In his book "Lizzie" author Frank Spiering claimed that Lizzie's sister Emma was not where everyone thought she was, and was indeed the killer. Lizzie and Emma were furious over a family dispute over a piece of real estate that Andrew Borden had given to his wife's side of the family. Abby Borden was Emma and Lizzie's stepmother, so to see some of their property going to someone 'outside' the immediate family caused a rift that could not be overcome.
The hatchet that was used to kill the Bordens is now in the Lizzy Borden museum in Fall River, MA. It was found in the celler of the Borden's house with traces of blood and a broken handle.
The trial scene was filmed in Charlotte Court House, Virginia.
Well, the series is no longer in production, so the question should be where was it filmed. The answer is Ren-Mar Studios in Hollywood. The sets used for the series will have long since been destroyed.
Until her death in 1927, Lizzie Borden lived her entire life in Fall River Massachusetts. At the time of the murders the Bordens lived at 92 2nd St. After her aquittal Lizzie and her older sister Emma moved to 306 French St., a more fashionable neighborhood and a much larger house. As of June 1, 1927 Lizzie has resided at Oak Grove Cemetery along side her father Andrew, real mother Sarah, and sisters Emma and Alice Ester*. *Alice Ester Borden died before Lizzie was born, she was about two years old at the time of her death.
