I loved reading this thread, it has been verry interesting. I have a Lizzie Borden living dead doll hanging from the mirror in my car, I love it.

I think that Lizzie & Bridgette planned the murders together.

i also find this thread very interesting. i won off ebay the movie sister, my sister cause it sounded really good. i never heard of those murders til reading this thread.
i had the living dead doll lizzie borden, but i didn't think she was that cute, so i sold her on ebay but i have a ton of other living dead dolls, abigal crane is my favorite and posey too

So true. Somebody even wrote a thesis on the case entitled "Nobody Did It"!

For instance, CherrySexxxRed and Die Star mention Lizzie burning a dress a few days after the murders. It turns out not to be quite as juicy a detail as I had always thought.
For a start, whether it was a blood-stained dress is unknown.
Lizzie explained burning it at the time by saying it was old and worn and covered in paint.
Emma Borden and Lizzie's friend Alice Russell saw her do it, but unfortunately they weren't pushed much to describe the stains on the dress later on.
(That's how bad the prosecution was.)

Alice was understandably none too keen to hang around to look at it anyway, and got up and left the room. (From a safe distance, she remarked wryly, "I wouldn't let anybody see me do that if I were you, Lizzie.")

Besides, if Lizzie was destroying evidence, why would she do it with witnesses around? She was prescribed morphine to calm her delicate nerves
after the murders, and could have been stoned enough to make such a clumsy gaffe - but that's only a possibility.
As pinkette says, there's just SO much that makes Lizzie sound guilty until you look at it another way. Very, very frustrating indeed.
