Lizzie Borden took an axe

Gave her mother 40 whacks

When she saw what she had done

She gave her father 41

- Children's Rhyme

It's a catchy little rhyme, but is it accurate?? Eva and I use our true crime show watching powers to look at the evidence and render a verdict on perhaps the bloodiest, matricidal/patricidal spinster that ever was, Lizzie Andrew Borden.

We talk timelines, murder weapons, and police incompetence. We draw comparisons to modern-day cases. And we talk about how indoor plumbing is a key part of keeping a family happy.

Was I able to convince Eva that Lizzie probably did it? Listen and find out.
