The Trial of Lizzie Borden by Cara Robertson The brutal murders of Andrew and Abby Borden in Fall River, Massachusetts, in August 1892, sent shockwaves across the nation and captivated the world's attention. Lizzie Borden, the couple's younger daughter, was arrested and put on trial for the crimes, a case that would become one of the most infamous in American history. With twenty years of research and recently uncovered evidence, Cara Robertson presents a meticulously researched account of the trial, shedding new light on the events that unfolded. The trial was a spectacle, with reporters, columnists, and the public all weighing in on Lizzie's guilt or innocence. The case has endured for over a century, with the Borden murders becoming an integral part of American mythology. Robertson's book offers a fresh perspective on this enduring mystery, one that is both thorough and engaging. Fans of true crime and legal history will find this book a compelling read, as Robertson presents the story with the thoroughness of an attorney.
