Summary

We all know the rhyme, "Lizzie Borden took an ax and gave her mother forty whacks.  When she saw what she had done, she gave her father 41," right?  It's something most children in America say to scare their little sister or when having a sleepover with friends before saying Bloody Mary three times in the mirror.  Despite the popularity of the rhyme and the crime, Lizzie Borden was acquitted of the murders.  To this day, people remain divided on Lizzie's guilt, but the one thing we know for sure is that despite the murders having happened over 130 years ago, it remains in infamy.
