In the first days after the double murders, Alice Russell, being friends to both Emma and Lizzie, stayed with them in the house at 92 2nd St. The day after the murders Alice saw Lizzie cutting, ripping, and burning a dress and stuffing the pieces in the woodstove. Asking Lizzie why she was destroying the dress Lizzie claimed to have brushed up against wet paint and that the dress was ruined.

Needless to say, Russell made a strong witness for the prosecution. This seemingly beniegn act answers the question of Lizzie's lack of blood on her clothes. It is highly suspect and it's hard to believe the jurors gave this piece of circumstantial evidence so little weight in their deliberations.

It is also hard to believe that a paint-stained garmet would end up in the fire. In the 19th century, few things were wasted. Old clothing and cloth were recycled, either as braiding for rag rugs for the floors, or cleaning rags and even toilet rags before the widespread use of toilet paper. In the Borden household, Andrew Borden ran a tight ship and frowned on any kind of waste. It would have been an uncharacteristic and unlikely scenario.

Will Russell brand appear in potc 4?

It was at first thought that Russell Brand would definitely be in POTC 4. Although, more recently,, Russell Brand has been saying that he might be too busy to be in a pirate movie; which is ridiculous seeing as any actor would die to star in such a popular fandom. If Russeell Brand does have time to be in Pirates of the Caribbean 4 then he will play Captain Jack Sparrow's younger brother, Jonathon.
