Thanks to the artists and to you, Kalypso87 for a great post! I have included it in the Arnold Galleries, goo.gl/WTkNmI where I display a Victorian trade card which shows Lizzie's contemporaries acquiring carry-over skills.
I can't believe the comments on here. It's a COMEDY song! Ya know... not to be taken seriously??? GET IT??? Now get the FUCK over it .. relax...move on to the next video... or SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!
'Many live who deserve death. Some die who deserve life. Can you give it to them? Do not be over hasty in dealing out death in judgment, for even the very wise cannot see all things."--JRRT
To call her a murderer would cost you a fortune if she was still alive. The verdict wasn't "not proven" it was "not guilty". And there were good reasons for that. But the song is funny.
There have always been questions about this case. In spite of the 'not guilty' verdict many ppl have long believed that she did it. Aspects of her version of what happened just don't add up. Having worked in law enforcement one thing I learned is that when someone keeps changing their story they're hiding something. Her story changed more than toilet paper rolls in a public bathroom. But back then it was really hard for ppl to believe a woman could do such a thing. But they could. And they did.
"lizzie borden took an axe" *people laugh* me: ....... "and gave her mother 40 whacks" *people laugh* me:?????? "--she gave her father 41" *people laugh* me: ARE YOU KIDDING ME
On this day in 1893 {June 20th} Lizzie Borden was found innocent of the 1892 ax murders of her father & step-mother in Fall River, MA {the jury deliberated for only an hour and a half}... Ms. Borden passed away on June 1st, 1927 at the age of 66... May she R.I.P., if she was really innocent???
Juries cannot issue a verdict of "innocent." They can only give a verdict of "not guilty," which means the state did not prove its case. That said, I doubt anyone here has any evidence of her guilt that the state lacked.
The reason Lizzie killed her Parents is because she snapped Andrew molested his daughter she couldn't talk about it because of the time and Abby knew it was going on yet she did nothing to stop it.
MegaWolfgang There was a Doc, on Discovery Channel Lizzie Borden Had an Axe where they had someone who profiles the dead./criminals profile L.B he believed that she was molested. Before I saw it I believed I because alot of people hate there moms/stepmothers they don't kill them. Abby had to have known that Andrew was doing that yet she let it happen.
it is all hear say and rumor. No evidence at all that Andrew was anything but a normal father to Lizzie and her sister. But when a woman is accused it seems male victims are always blamed for their fate in some way. None of the other women even get accused oh no. just the father.
a canadian detective suggested lizze had a lesbian relation with the maid and her mother found out!! now 20 years later lizzie was taken to court and a man accused her of sexually seducing his wife!!!!
Well, the law says you're only innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, so the converse would seem to be tghat if you're proven not guilty in a court of law, then you're not innocent. . . I'm pretty sure Lizzie's not too concerned with what anyonethinks of her at this point -- that's the one beauty of death(that & cheating your creditors & making yuor life insurance pay out!)
I watched the Christini Ricci version yesterday and the thought crossed my mind that Emma might have actually been the guilty party. glad to hear I'm not alone in my theory.
