		Lizzie Andrew Borden (July 19, 1860 - June 1, 1927) was a New England spinster who was tried for the brutal axe murders of her father and stepmother in the late 19th century.
		Lizzie was born on July 19, 1860 — the youngest child of Andrew Jackson Borden and Sarah Morse Borden.
		It was rumored that Lizzie and her older sister, Emma (who was out of town at the time of the murders) never felt warmly towards their step-mother and both admitted during their testimony that there was considerable ill-feeling when, a few years prior to the crime, Andrew put a piece of property in Abby's name.

	How Lizzie Borden Got Away With Murder by Denise M. Clark
		The dress that Lizzie had provided the police as the dress she wore the morning of the murders was a heavy winter bengaline silk dress of a navy blue background with light blue figures.
		Lizzie’s request to be represented by counsel had been refused by the district attorney and the judge.
		Lizzie’s friend Marianna Holmes testified regarding Lizzie’s religious activities, stating Lizzie was a Sunday school teacher for Chinese children, deepening the jury’s impression that a staunch Christian woman of Lizzie’s sensitivities could never have wielded a hatchet to do more than chop a piece of kindling.

		Born 19 July 1860 in Fall River, Massachusetts, Lizzie Andrew Borden was the youngest daughter of the prominent Andrew Jackson BORDEN and Sarah Anthony MORSE.
		Lizzie walked down the stairs of the house at 92 Second St. at a quarter to nine, as she had so many mornings before since the family moved to the home in 1872.
		As the morning went on, it was said Lizzie spent some time in the kitchen sitting down reading an old Harper's magazine from the cupboard and eating a pear while she waited for the flats to heat, so that she could continue to iron.

		The central characters, the oppressive summer heat, and the floor plan are drawn from the 1892 Massachusetts case in which Lizzie Borden was tried for the presumed hatchet murders (the weapon was never found) of her father and stepmother, and acquitted of the crime.
		In Engstrom's fictional treatment of the famous Lizzie Borden murder case of 1892--in which Lizzie allegedly kills both her parents but is acquitted--every door in the Borden house in Fall River, Mass., is metaphorically locked, and each room holds the terrible secrets of its occupant.
		Lizzie appears to be a serene young woman, but only because, in the author's view, she has repressed another self--angry and long denied, it burns to emerge.

	Lyrics dull edge of 'Lizzie Borden' - The Boston Globe
		The aberrant psychology of Lizzie herself -- the snob and primly moral church worker who also enjoyed a bit of light shoplifting -- is well caught, both in her arguments with her stepmother and in the severe, anxious planes of Paterson's face, imprisoned beneath its hats and hairdos.
		Lizzie kept pet pigeons; McGovern, taking what he candidly describes in the program as "enormous dramatic license," has the merciless Mr.
		Borden (Dale Place) assassinate these pigeons with an ax -- but not before Lizzie, accompanied by her inner child (represented by talented seventh-grader Andrea C. Ross) has serenaded them with a number called "Fly Away" ("Don't stop dreaming, spread your wings/Close your eyes and dream of better things").

	Light Sleeper - Late Night Writings On Cinema
		The Legend of Lizzie Borden is reminiscent of the rhyme in two ways: in its assumption of her undeniable guilt and in its portrayal of her enjoyment in carrying out the murders.
		The first time we see this scene, early in the film, the scriptwriter and director have been focusing on the tension that exists between the maid and the Borden’s, and Lizzie’s laughter seems merely to be an expression of her contempt for the maid, of her sense of superiority over a servant.
		Lizzie might come across as a little cold in the scene, but we still don’t quite believe that this coldness incriminates her as an axe murderer.

		Borden, the chief architect of the "Finchrock" sound, is by no means ready to slip into the easy-listening, world-weary acoustic strumming many of her contemporaries have gravitated toward.
		When Borden chants the title chorus to "Outside," a tune devoted to the negative slant of the evening news, you can practically hear her catharsis splash against the back of the toilet bowl.

		The judges concluded that Lizzie, at the time of the coroner's inquest, was for all practical purposes a prisoner charged with two murders, and that her testimony at the inquest, made in the absence of her attorney, was not voluntary.
		The judges rejected the state's argument that Lizzie was only a suspect, not a prisoner, at the time of the inquest, and that anyway her statement should be admitted because it was in the nature of a denial rather than a confession.
		Lizzie let out a yell, sank into her chair, rested her hands on a courtroom rail, put her face in her hands, and then let out a second cry of joy.

		The image of an ax-wielding Lizzie has become so fixed in the popular imagination that we often forget that she was in fact acquitted of murdering her parents in the most celebrated trial of the last century, and that the crimes have never been solved.
		It was the opera Lizzie Borden's good fortune that Jack Beeson and his collaborators faced the question of Lizzie's guilt squarely at the outset, knowing that if the opera were to succeed dramatically there could be no ambiguity about what Lizzie actually did.
		The Borden saga's outsized characters and the almost archetypal nature of the murders themselves were undeniably operatic, while obvious comparisons could be drawn with the supremely dysfunctional family in Richard Strauss's Elektra.

		Even though the prosecution presented an overwhelming case of circumstantial evidence, Lizzie's jury of twelve men (women couldn't serve as jurors back then) acquitted her.
		Some folks think Lizzie's verdict was an early case of "jury nullification" - when the jury ignores plain evidence to reach a result they think is fair.
		It was said at the time the jury didn't believe a Christian young woman (who taught Sunday School in Fall River, Massachusetts) could have killed her father in such a heinous way.
