The Trials of Lizzie Borden

Episode notes

Lizzie Borden took an Axe and gave her mother forty whacks. When she saw what she had done, she gave her father forty-one. This old children's skipping song has been sung ever since Lizzie Borden was put on trial for the Murder of her Father and Step-Mother. However, since then the trials of Lizzie Borden have continued. Join us as we take a closer look at the trials of Lizzie Borden.  Lizzie Borden also features in our second issue dedicated to the history of Crime and the Underworld.
