Ep. 125: Lizzie Borden, Pt. 4: Lizbeth of Maplecroft

Ain't It Scary? with Sean & Carrie

Mar 23 2023 • 1 hr 24 mins

In this 4th and final part of the Lizzie Borden story, we round out the rest of the sensational Borden Murders trial, hear the final verdict, and learn what Lizzie Borden did with the rest of her life after her (spoiler alert) acquittal in June 1893. Meet the witnesses that added quite a bit of color to the case, including skull-boiling doctors, confusing and contradictory policemen, a lollygagging ice cream salesman, and more; see the defense's star witness Emma Borden take the stand against a wily and determined prosecution; hear all of the evidence in the case, including murder weapon speculation, possible evidence destruction, and a salacious theory involving Lizzie committing the murders in the nude; and see the final determination come down from the judges and jury: NOT GUILTY. With the rest of her life in front of her, why did Lizzie Borden choose to stay in Fall River, the town that had demonized her? What drove her sister Emma to move out of their shared home and never speak to Lizzie again? And, finally...do Carrie and Sean think Lizzie is guilty, or innocent? All will be revealed in this 4th installment of Axe Murder March! ________________________________________ Connect with us on social media: Facebook: www.facebook.com/aintitscary Twitter: @aintitscary Instagram: @aintitscary Patreon: www.patreon.com/aintitscary Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/aint-it-scary?ref_id=27696 ___________________________________________ Thank you to our sponsors: Magic Mind - Get up to 56% off your subscription and 20% off your first order with our code SCARYSC2020 at MagicMind.co/aintitscary!
