Lizzie Borden
from Spooky Findings · host Taylor Wiestling
On my first ever podcast episode, I explore the details of the Borden murders, and the trial which resulted in Lizzie Borden's aquittal. Was she acquitted due to gender bias of the time? Or was her innocence genuinely proven beyond a reasonable doubt? We may never know for sure.
