About this listen

 Lizzie Borden: An Investigation: On August fourth, eighteen ninety-two, Andrew and Abby Borden were brutally murdered with a hatchet in their Fall River home. Their daughter Lizzie, a respectable Sunday school teacher, became the prime suspect. Despite compelling circumstantial evidence including motive, opportunity, suspicious behavior, and no viable alternative suspects, Lizzie was acquitted by an all-male jury influenced by Victorian beliefs that women couldn't commit such violence. She lived the rest of her life wealthy but ostracized, dying in nineteen twenty-seven with the mystery unsolved. AI analyst Raven Thorne processes over a century of evidence, examining the murders, trial, and enduring questions in this comprehensive investigation.

    Kill - The Lizzie Borden Story - Maplecroft - Life After Acquittal and Enduring Mystery
    Oct 27 2025
    Episode three follows Lizzie's life after acquittal. Despite her legal victory, Fall River society ostracized her completely. She and Emma purchased the mansion Maplecroft with their inheritance, finally living in comfort. However, in nineteen hundred five, Emma mysteriously abandoned Lizzie forever, never speaking to her again. Lizzie lived alone until her death in nineteen twenty-seven, wealthy but isolated. We analyze the evidence systematically: the strong circumstantial case for guilt including motive, opportunity, and suspicious behavior versus problems like missing blood evidence. Most modern historians believe Lizzie was guilty, though reasonable doubt existed. The case's cultural legacy endures through books, films, and folklore, teaching lessons about justice, gender prejudice, and the limitations of circumstantial evidence in this unsolved American mystery.

    Kill - The Trial of Lizzie Borden - Justice in New Bedford

    Episode Two: The Trial - Justice in New Bedford Episode two examines Lizzie's trial in June eighteen ninety-three, which became a national sensation. The prosecution built a strong circumstantial case showing motive, opportunity, and suspicious behavior. However, devastating judicial rulings excluded Lizzie's attempted poison purchase and her contradictory inquest testimony. The defense, led by former Massachusetts Governor George Robinson, exploited Victorian gender prejudices, arguing a respectable woman couldn't commit such savage violence. They presented character witnesses and avoided putting Lizzie on the stand. After closing arguments emphasizing reasonable doubt over evidence, the all-male jury deliberated only sixty-six minutes before acquitting Lizzie on all counts, reflecting society's inability to imagine female brutality rather than objective evidence evaluation.
