Ep. 124: Lizzie Borden, Pt. 3 - A Bad Day for Lizzie Borden

Screw it, we're doing 4 parts! The tea is too scorching and the drama too intense to not give Lizzie's case room to breathe, so we're dedicating all of Axe Murder March to Miss Borden herself. This week: Lizzie is charged, arrested, and brought to trial. The press continues their field day with Lizzie's story, hounding her at every turn, insulting her looks, and even falsely reporting a pregnancy. Multiple important witnesses take the stand, including housemaid Bridget Sullivan, Doctor Seabury Bowen, and Lizzie's "turncoat" bestie, Alice Russell. Revelations are made, including the fact that Lizzie may have purposefully burned damning evidence just days after the murders. It's "a bad day for Lizzie Borden"...but will it be bad enough to find her guilty? Come back next week for the conclusion of one of the biggest stories in true crime history. ________________________________________ Connect with us on social media: Facebook: www.facebook.com/aintitscary Twitter: @aintitscary Instagram: @aintitscary Patreon: www.patreon.com/aintitscary Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/aint-it-scary?ref_id=27696 ___________________________________________ Thank you to our sponsors: Magic Mind - Get up to 56% off your subscription and 20% off your first order with our code SCARYSC2020 at MagicMind.co/aintitscary!
