She actually gave a couple. One was she was ironing handkerchiefs in the downstairs of the house. Then her story changed to include her trip to the barn loft to look for sinkers for an upcoming fishing trip. They must not have bought it because she was arrested and held in the towns jail until her trial.
The police accused me of crime but I had a perfect alibi,I was at the police station when the crime occurred.
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.
Gail Borden invented condensed milk. He received a patent for it in 1856. He has a brand of milk named after him, Borden's Milk.
Occasionally after a highly publicized crime the principle players may desire a fresh start far from their infamey. However with Lizzie Borden annonymity was not the purpose intended. Borden remained in Fall River MA where she had lived her entire life. Changing her name to LizBeth was meant to give her a more sofisticated sounding name as she planned to assume a social position she felt her frugal father Andrew denied her while he was alive. But she was never allowed to enjoy the hometown's esteem. After her aquittal for the murders of her father and stepmother Abbey she was shunned by Fall River society. Borden took some respite in Boston and New York on occasion but lived an isolated life until her death in 1927. She lays beside her father Andrew, natural mother Sarah, sister Emma who preceeded her to the grave by only days and marked her grave with a simple tombstone the reads LizBeth. *Footnote:Her stepmother Abbey was buried in her family plot in a different town.
Lizzie Borden died from pneumonia on June 1, 1927 in Fall River, Massachusetts.
A. Give him an alibi in court
That he was bad
Although the suspects alibi showed valid there was still something fishy about it, something that just didn't seem right.
It means that if you intend to use an alibi defense - claiming that you were somewhere else at the time of the offense - you have to give notice to the prosecutors of your defense, including the witnesses you plan on calling to support it.
No, she gave her 17
An ALIBI.
Many times the dynamics within a family can be hard to guage. People get very good at living a lie, presenting a unified and happy picture. That being said, there has never, as far as I know, been any proof whatsoever, that Lizzie was abused in any way. If she was it has been kept a secret for over a century. While it is true that some abused children may lash out at others, Lizzie did not seem to exhibit behaviors that would give one to think that their family was anything but average, with the exception, of course, the double axe murders. Many people that have normal childhoods, can and do commit murder as adults. Unless new evidence is uncovered, it is safe to say that Lizzie got impatient and hastened her inheritence by murdering her parents.
