Have you or someone you know ever been accused of doing something that you or that person would never do? The problem of the story is that Lizzie Andrew Borden was accused of the murderers of Andrew Borden and Abby Borden which were her stepmother and her father. I think that LIzzie Borden was innocent for many reasons. I think that she is not innocent because she was not in the house at the time of the murder. Also that the judge had proven her innocent so that is a good reason why she is innocent. This is why I think that Lizzie Andrew Borden is innocent.
Andrew Borden was a very known man that a lot of people probably didn't like him. The first reason why I think that Lizzie Borden is innocent is because she was not in the house during the murder. The evidence is that when they were in court she said that she was not in the house and that the only people in the house was the maid Bridget Sullivan and the guy that was in the guest room. So what happened was that Andrew Borden and Abby Borden were struck by an axe in the head 17 and 19 times. Lizzie Borden said that she was outside in the shed. BUt there was the maid who was Bridget

Another reason is that she was not on great terms with her stepmother but she was not on bad terms with her. The reason why people think that she is guilty is because she had burned a dress that day after the murder and it could of had blood stains on it and that's why she burnt it. The reason was from the testimony and from her like actual interview that she had after the murder. It says in the testimony that she states “I do not have a great relationship with my stepmother but it is not that bad.” I think that this has a big reason why she is innocent and not guilty. This is just my opinion though. My evidence supports my claim because I saw the paper that has it on it with the quotations on it. This is my #3 reason why I think that LIzzie Borden is
Why Mary Surratt should not have been executed Mary Surratt should not have been executed. Mary Surratt could have helped a little bit but not enough she should have been executed. One reason Mary Surratt is innocent is because she didn’t know they were going to kill Lincoln. In source 2 it says “It is possible the Mary knew of the kidnapping but not the plan to kill Lincoln.” This means she might not have known the were planning to kill Lincoln so she could be innocent.
“Was Lizzie Borden Really Innocent” The number of kids that kill their parents is unbelievable. They usually have a motive. Lizzie Borden didn’t.
Lizzie Borden was a suspect in the murder of the Borden parents which were killed with an ax in August of 1892, they lived in a greenhouse in Maryland in the town called fall river. Although she was not convicted of the murder of Andrew and Sarah Borden. I think lizzie borden killed her parents and this is why.There was many weird things about lizzie borden.Why would she kill her own parents? Her dad was very wealthy and her stepmom was greedy but if her father died she would inherit what would now 7 million dollars and she felt like she owed it to her real mom, who had been “replaced” her stepmom after her mom's random death. She had some weird behaviors before the murders and after. Before her parent's murder, she tried to buy poisonous acids for cleaning the house and they found one of her white dress with inconsistent dark red spots that were hidden in one of her drawers.In this case none was arrested but 2 people including lizzie were tried.Why wasn't Lizzie Borden or anybody else arrested, Lizzie was not arrested because she was just Sunday school teacher, so the court thought that a teacher of Jesus would never do such a thing and, she had a clean record.
The Bordens Murders Unsolved Two people dead. No murderer found. One broken axe. Lizzie Borden is guilty of murdering her parents because she burned a dress that the court asked for as evidence, she said she was in the barn but she lied, and when Mrs.Borden was killed the murderer was still in the home to have killed Mr.Borden a few minutes later.
Lizzie Borden is guilty no doubt. Who else would do it. The first reason why is because she was outraged with
Specifically, during the court trial, Lizzie had fainted when she saw her parents skull (Hewitt 3). That’s when the majority started to doubt that Lizzie had the guts to murder her parents. At this point in time, the defense team had argued saying that Lizzie wouldn’t have enough time to clean the scene and herself after the murder (Helena 7). In addition to this, the defense team had said that Lizzie couldn’t have committed the crime and that she was a rather loving person that was very close to her parents (Gavin 2). Moreover, “In the eyes of the law, Lizzie Borden was not responsible for the deaths of Andrew and Abby Borden” (Hewitt 3). This could conclude that with the way Lizzie acts makes it seem as if she was innocent and couldn’t have committed the
This is because soldiers found out evidence in her house that she supported the confederacy, but not a part of the kidnapping plot. Also on page 16, the text states, “She agreed, and soon she drove down to Surrattsville by carriage.” She did not supply weapons or ammunition, and the book, Chasing Lincoln’s Killer, then only talks about her arrest and nothing else about her. This shows that she was innocent because she was barely a part of the kidnapping of the president
¨Lizzie Borden took an axe and gave her mother forty whacks after she saw what she had done she gave her father forty one.¨ The issue here is that Lizzie Borden was guilty and justice was not done in court. Lizzie should have been locked up and charged for both murders that she was accused of doing. Lizzie Borden is guilty and should be charged with both murders.
One of the most key suspects was Lizzie because she disliked her stepmother, Lizzie also would receive her father's money. In addition, Lizzie had lots of people pointing the finger at her many people believed she planned it in advance (Katz 9). Also, cops found a blade covered in ash, “A hatchet had been discovered in the basement of the Borden home, but its blade was clean and the handle had been broken off (Maranzani 2).” Lizzie could have broken and cleaned the handle off the hatchet, and changed her dress in 8 to 13 minutes (Katz10). Based on the evidence provided it makes the most since that Lizzie Borden was in fact the murderer.
First off, Why do you think Lizzie Borden is or is not guilty? The issue of Lizzie Borden is a complex one, but it is vital to discuss because tons of people in the 1800s believed that Lizzie Borden is not guilty. Some people think that she is guilty of a lot of reasons. Everyone from the 1800s tends to believe that Lizzie Borden is an innocent little girl that would never harm anyone in sight, but common sense seems to dedicate that Lizzie Borden is guilty in the murder of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Borden. I claim that Lizzie Borden is guilty of the murder of her parents.
Some people have thought that there were various people involved with the witchcraft hysteria. Most of these people have had very believable examples to back up their answer as well. In “The Crucible,” there were many of the villagers that were involved in the whole witchcraft hysteria. Majority of them involved were actually innocent the whole time the case was going on. I believe that Abigail is the most responsible for the happening of the witchcraft hysteria because she is a manipulative person
Secondly, Abigail Williams lied in court many times. One time about having the needle in her stomatch, which led to Elizabeth proctor being sent to jail. Another time she lied in court about Marry Warren sending her spirit out to attack her. This caused
On August 4th, 1892 in Fall River, Massachusetts one of the most influential crimes in history was committed. Lizzie Borden allegedly killed her father and step mother by hacking them to death with a hatchet. It is confirmed she murdered her step mother Abby first. While Abby was changing the sheets in the upstairs bedroom Lizzie is alleged to have come into the room with Abby, Abby looked up seen her then proceeded to continue what she was doing. Lizzie then took the hatchet out from behind her back and hit Abby once in the back with the hatchet then after Abby fell to the ground, and continued to hit her till she couldn’t hit her anymore. She then moved on to the living room down stairs where her father Andrew Borden was napping on the couch after running some errands in town. According to court records Lizzie came up struck her father repeatedly in the head and chest
Have you ever been so angry you thought about killing your parents with an axe? Well many people think Lizzie Borden did this exact thing. Lizzie Borden was accused of murdering her step mother and father with a hatchet on August 4, 1892. While on trial, the jury found her innocent, but many other people think her to be guilty. I think that Lizzie Borden is innocent of the murder of Andrew and Abby Borden because she loved her father, didn’t have a problem with her stepmother, and there was no physical evidence found at the crime scene. Lizzie Borden was found innocent by law, so why should it be questioned?
In The Crucible there are many smaller arguments occurring. One of these smaller arguments is trust. This is an argument because consistently John Proctor argues why all of the townspeople trust Abigail and the girls and question everyone except them. John says, “If she is innocent! Why do you never wonder if Parris be innocent, or Abigail? Is the accuser always holy now? Were they born this morning as clean as God’s fingers?” (Miller 77). John says this to Hale when his wife, Elizabeth, is accused of witchcraft. John knows that Elizabeth is innocent but no one will question Abigail, which is relating to trust since all of townspeople fully trust Abigail they don’t believe that she would lie about Elizabeth being a witch.
