Robinson: The Lizzie Borden case has mystified and fascinated those interested in crime forover on hundred years. Very few cases in American history have attracted as much attention as the hatchet murders of Andrew J. Borden and his wife, Abby Borden.

fiction appears to be more forthcoming to truth than nonfiction. Simultaneously, the texts relative to Lizzy Borden wonderfully exploit true events from the past regarding her case. Other writers such as Florence King, provide a wider version of what happened; thus, another angle on Lizzie herself.

Justine Moritz has been accused of killing William Frankenstein. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I stand by to tell you why Justine is innocent. The evidence to falsely accuse Justine Moritz is not enough to be punished eternally. To take her innocent life away for a crime she did not commit is wrong without reasonable evidence.
