The Fall River Murders : The Trial of Lizzie Borden

The mystery of Lizzie Borden has captivated the public as perhaps one of the most celebrated cases in our American
justice system. Comparisons can be made to more
modern-day trials, such as the O.J. Simpson trial, or the trails of Jodie Arias, Casey Anthony, and Susan Smith,which kept us riveted to our television screens to watch the gavel to gavel coverage of these sensational trials.

Presented here for the first time in dialog form, are the full transcripts of the principal individuals, Bridget Sullivan, the servant, Emma Borden, Lizzie’s sister, those first on the scene – Mrs. Churchill, the neighbor, the police officers, and others who testified in the “Trial of the Century”.

By close examination of the testimonies new light may now be shed on what the jurors heard and a better
understanding of how they came to their not guilty verdict.

Did Lizzie Borden commit the murders? Examine all of the evidence and arrive at your own conclusion.
