Fall River Historical Events
1892, August 4
Lizzie Borden allegedly killed her father and step-mother with an axe. She was arrested a week later. In June of 1893 she was found not guilty and set free to live a life of torment. She died in June 1927, never confessing to the murders, and they are still unsolved.
There has been a number of books and movies made about her, and I highly recommend reading up on the subject. If you were captivated by the O. J. trial, then you'll love hers.
