The Privicy Of Lizzie Borden's Guilt
Lizzie Borden Has to be guilty. First her alibi ended up not checking out. Next was the rather shady behavior. Finally, the destruction of evidence. So because of these reasons her guilt will be proved. I will start with her alibi and others, and if they checked out. First off, John Morse must be innocent. According to the testimony (Morse, 1893) Mr.Morse was out the morning of the murder to run an errand and see his niece. This was in fact confirmed be his niece when she was questioned. Also, Emma Borden is innocent. According to (Linder, 2004) she was away from the home the day and time of the murders meaning she is entirely unlinked to the murders. Proof of this she was spotted at the presumed time of the murders and the time the bodies

    Summary: The Case Of Lizzie Borden

    For starters, they did not collect the clothes that Lizzie had been wearing while present at the crime scene. This could have been helpful in the trial to persecute Lizzie if they had taken it and found traces of blood on it. Instead, Lizzie had kept the dress and later burned it, destroying any evidence that may have been on it. Investigators also failed to question people who were close with Lizzie (asides from her sister who was of no help). By questioning those close to her, investigators could have gained information about what Lizzie’s home life was like and if she had any hidden anger directed towards either of her…

    Jonbenet's Murder Case Study

    There are many assumptions about how killed and JonBen`et and why. But If I had to pick a guilty party base on the facts of the case I would conclude that the murders would be the Father John and the mother Patricia. The author Biography (2017) highlights some key facts of physical evidence that point to the father and mother. The First factual piece of evidence is the Ransom note that was written. Handwriting experts tested the father and the mother, and the mother’s test proved inconclusive. Consequently, a practice note was also found in the home. Secondly, the duct tapes that was placed over JonBen`et mouth contained fabric from the mother’s clothes. The Third piece of evidence is the coroner report. The coroner report states that JonBen`et died of blunt force trauma to the head and then she was strangled.…

    Patsy And John Benet Ramsey Case: The Murder Of Jonbenet

    Some of the theories have been investigated and all signs point to the family. When the bolder police arrived to the home of the ramseys they saw them disappear into the basement. Then later when the police were asking questions they proceeded to ask if anything was missing or out of place in their home, and they told the family to go look around the house and see if anything was. The first thing John benet did was go straight to the basement out of all places, and then carried his baby girl upstairs, and took off the duct tape from her mouth. This caused tampering with the evidence and made the evatigation impossible to figure out who was the killer. The police believed that the parents did it or were covering for someone who did. All the evidence that was credible pointed to their family because it was all in the home and left there after the murder. As for the bizarre ransom note that was three pages long and written on Patsy’s notepad; whose handwriting matched the one on the ransoms note. Who would have the time to write an intricate note and practice it before hand? It made it seem like the killer was someone who cared and was upset about her death. Another theory was that night she was killed Jonbenet actually wet her bed and went to go explain to her parents what happened and her mom woke up screaming at her six year old daughter and struck her in the head with a flashlight. This would have…

    How Did John Benet Ramsey Murder

    Jonbenet Ramsey was killed in the basement of her own home. Investigators have come to the conclusion that Jon Benet was killed by a hit to the head by a flashlight. By inexperienced detectives her death was filed that she was strangled to death. The murder was disguised as if a different crime had been committed. The killer disguised it as if someone came in and tied her up and then decided to cover it up. investigators realized it was all a cover up to the actual way Jon Benet was killed. The crime was committed by someone inside the home. But because of investigators relying too much on DNA, there is no evidence that necessarily points to patsy, John, nor Burke.…

    Was Lizzie Borden Guilty Of Killing Her Parents?

    So the topic is that Lizzie Borden is guilty of killing her parents. In some cases they said that she isn't guilty but in my case she is. The reason being is that she was the only person that would have had a grudge against her parents, and her sister was out of town of the time of their deaths, so even though there was a rumor of a mysterious man lurking around the Gorden’s house at the times of death there is not enough facts that it is actually true. The evidence that i collected clearly states that she burnt a dress that was supposedly had a blood/paint spot on it. Which makes me believe that she is trying to hide something because she had others ways of getting rid of the old dress, like throwing it in the trash or giving it to the lower class.…

    While reading The Scarlet Letter book I had a little trouble with understanding the words and how it was used back in the days because they have different meanings to it now. The Scarlet letter brought out many morals to me along with the themes that I was given to explain. If I would have to make up a theme or moral of the story, is not to lie because the more you hold in the lie the deeper the guilt grows you it will make you into a different person, it will make you become something you don't want to become it will make you turn into something terrible that honestly you would not want to become.…

She is not evil because she does not commit murders herself and she also displays feelings of remorse and guilt towards the end of the play.
