Question to be answered

Is Lizzie Borden guilty or non guilty against the crimes she was accused of doing?

My theory

westk38470 — 2024-05-20 13:23:01 UTC

I believe that she wanted to keep the inheritance for her and her sister.

Evidence #1

I believe this theory because money was hard for them at the time.

Evidence #2

Another reason why I think that she did this is because she wanted to buy her dream house and didn't have enough money for it.

Evidence #3

Evidence to back up my theory that she wanted to do this crime is that she was abused by her parents and she wanted revenge.

Alternate Theory

Another theory that is a possibility of something that could have happened would be Lizzie Borden not having a good relationship with her step-mom.

That theory, debunked

westk38470 — 2024-05-20 13:37:48 UTC

Here is why my theory is correct, she wanted to kill her parents because she didn't have a good relationship with her mom and she didn't want her dad to find out so she decided to kill him to so then both of them could not give any hints to the police. I believe the she also wanted to kill her dad for his inheritance money.

Closing: Worth while Endeavor?

I learned that she was a very cruel woman and that she was greedy.
