Mary Surratt should have been executed because she lied to the authorities. Mary lied to the authorities about knowing the people who shot Lincoln. Mary is guilty for Lincoln assassination because she was involved with the people who killed Lincoln and gave them weapons. In source 3, it says “I want you to have those shooting irons ready.” That meant that she had weapons and told the people who shot Lincoln to get them ready.
I believe that Lizzie Borden did kill Both Abby and Andrew Borden on the day of August 4, 1892. Some people think that Lizzie is guilty some think she is innocent. My reasons for believing this are she wanted more attention from her father. My second reason is when she testified about what happened and her whereabouts it didn't add up. My third and final reason to believe that Lizzie is guilty is she had reasons to think that her father was going to get hurt shortly before her father got killed.
It seems unusual that a woman would choose to wait alone in a house if she thought a murderer still might be in the neighborhood on the loose. Furthermore, On the night before the murders, Lizzie went to visit Alice Russell ( a neighbor), and told her that she was worried that some unknown enemy of her father's might try to kill him soon. As a result, this convinced me to believe that Lizzie Borden was the only possible culprit for the murders of her
Also from CBS News, they provide pictures of the skulls of Andrew and Abby Borden. The pictures of the skulls show large pieces of both skulls missing from the skulls, CBS News reports. This evidence shows that someone had very, very harsh thoughts and a person like Lizzie is not that person. To continue, the Borden family’s maid, Bridget Sullivan, has the capability to actually commit a murder like this. In Article #5 it says, “Bridget said that she had worked for the Bordens for two years and ten months doing general housework.”
Lizzie Borden… She was 33 at the time of her parent murders and was listed as a suspect. She is very guilty. I have 3 reasons why I say this, also some reasons why others may disagree with me. Lizzie was very suspect when she told her side of the story and she did things that made me feel this way, also she didn’t seem very upset about her parents and she was still comfortable in the house afterwards.
Police and investigators believed that Lizzie Borden was the murderer because of the fact
Other family members could be guilty of the crime, not just Lizzie. The first possible suspect that comes to mind is John Morse, Lizzie’s uncle who, after supposedly being made aware of the horrible murders, is said to have “ambled” into the back yard and proceeded to “eat pears in the shade” (King 27). The next possible suspect would have to be Emma, who, being out of town that day was sent a telegram telling her about the murders, but she “did not catch the next train,” or the next, in fact she did not “return” home “until after seven that night” (King 27). Doesn't that seem a little odd, seeing as her father was just killed; unless she had something to do with it and couldn’t get home until then, but we will never know. Another possible suspect is Bridget Sullivan, the maid who happened to be in and around the house at the time of the murders (“The Lizzie Borden Story”).
I read through all the witness testimonies and Lizzie Borden is guilty let me tell you why. All these testimonies mentioned something that made her look guilty. here’s why, she changed the story way too much, Lizzie Borden burned a really big piece of evidence, she also could have been jealous of her stepmother because her father bought her stepmother Abby Borden a house. Lizzie Borden seems to change her answers a lot in the very last document. Let me explain to you why she is guilty.
As a consequence, people got hung due to the lies she told just to save herself. Besides all the reasons she could be guilty there are some reasons the show otherwise. The fact that she didn’t have anybody to look up to growing
In Lizzie Borden: Murderess or Media Sensation it states that “There was no physical evidence linking her to the murders” There was no evidence that she did the murders. They didn't question anybody but Lizzie. Anyone could have done it. This just proves that Lizzie did not do
Have you ever done something against the law and got away with it. Well if you have, it probably wasn’t as bad as what Lizzie Borden got away with. Lizzie Borden got away with killing her father and her step mother. I strongly believe that Lizzie Borden killed her father and stepmother. The reasons I believe Lizzie Borden is guilty is because she was seen trying to buy a prussic acid which is a poison a couple days before her parents murder, once her parents bodies were found she sent the people who came to help off to do errands, and 4 days after the murders she burned a dress she claims was ruined from paint stains.
The Lizzie Borden House is an old estate that is now a bed and breakfast, that is now located in Fall River Massachusetts. Back in the 1890s, Lizzie, Andrew, Abby, and Emma Borden lived in that home, but before they moved in, a lady had killed her two children and then later killed herself with the razor blade her husband would use to shave. The murder took place while the maid, Abby, and Lizzie were the only few home and the maid was “cleaning the windows” and while Abby was doing the laundry, she was brutally murdered with an axe. Later that
Lizzie Borden was acquitted, or found not guilty, for the murder but there are many details that point her out as the killer. She was one of two other people in the household at the time. At the time of the Borden’s murders, police work was totally different than it is today. Lizzie was not immediately arrested and held for questioning as she would’ve been today. Instead, she was given time to burn the dress, get rid of the handle of the axe and save herself from jail time.
For the duration of her trial Lizzie Borden was seen as a bane, a murderer, and would be treated like one for the rest of her life. Sarah Miller recognized the wrong in this and aspired to give Lizzie another chance to clear her name by giving nothing but the facts about the case since, during her trial, evidence was left out or overlooked. In her book “The Borden Murders: Lizzie Borden and the
