About this listen

Episode 2 delves into the revolutionary courtroom drama of the Lizzie Borden trial, where 19th-century science met its limits. With no fingerprints, DNA, or reliable blood tests, prosecutors struggled to prove guilt in a world before modern forensics. The episode examines the birth of forensic investigation, groundbreaking legal rulings on evidence and defendant rights, and how gender and class shaped the outcome. Through the lens of primitive science and sensational media, “Science on Trial” reveals how one case exposed the flaws of Victorian justice—ultimately sparking reforms that would transform criminal law, forensic science, and public fascination with courtroom spectacle.
