Lizzie Borden Research Paper
Have you ever wanted revenge on your parents? Lizzie Borden was accused of the murder of her father and stepmother at the age of 31. I deem Lizzie guilty of the murder of her stepmother. Also, I think Bridget Sullivan, their servant was responsible for the murder of Abby Borden.
