The Trial of Lizzie Borden

I am embarrassed to say that I didn't really know anything about the Lizzie Borden story. I always pictured them in early settler times, somewhere out in the woods, Lizzie hacking her parents to death after chopping wood one day. But no, they were killed in their city home in Fall River, MA. And it was 1892, so there was a full trial with all the forensics of the day.

The title is accurate–this is about the trial, with all the details. Readable, but a little slow going...
