    Lizzie Borden, the youngest daughter of a wealthy man named Andrew Borden, is found being the prime suspect for the murders of the old man himself, including his 2nd wife Abby Borden. Lizzie Borden was accused of the murder of her father and step mother Andrew and Abby Borden with a hatchet.

I think she did not commit the murders because: there was no physical evidence linking her to the murders, Lizzie cared for her father deeply, despite the disputed, as been portrayed as cold, but showed a sensitive, grieving side of her in her letters, and she told her neighbor the day before her parents’ murders that she feared that someone was going to kill father. These statements will prove that Lizzie is innocent and someone else murdered her parents, not her.…
