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 was missing from the Lizzie Borden case?
Jennings was refering to a lack of phyisical evidence against his client Lizzie Borden. The broken hatchett could not be absolutely determined to be the murder weapon. Lizzie's lack of blood on her person should exonorate her, theory being that the killer would have had to have been covered in blood. Jennings declared that Lizzie had no motive to murder her parents. These were the most important points made by the defense.
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'.
