Lizzie Borden Trial DEATH CERTIFICATES 6 Key Players, Judge, Attorney, Witness

Description

The trial of Lizzie Borden opened on June 5, 1893 in the New Bedford Courthouse before a panel of three judges. A high-powered defense team, including George Robinson (the former governor of Massachusetts), represented Lizzie, while District Attorney Hosea Knowlton argued the case for the prosecution. A jury of twelve men sat eagerly and heard testimony.
After hearing a number of witnesses, the jury deliberated an hour and a half before returning with its “not guilty” verdict.
Although we could not be there to witness this spectacle, now we can relive it in part by studying the death records of some of the most important participants in this epic, historic trial!
