Hello friend, before we get into the final episode of Lizzie Borden, I wanted to take

the time to think Carrie mimics for for her iTunes review. Hey Carrie, I'm glad you love

the podcast. I know you could be anywhere right now, but I'm glad you're here.

Divine Misty only left two out of five stars, feeling like the episodes were too short,

and said the three parts on Lizzie didn't provide enough information. I'm working on

longer episodes now. My aim is for around 20 minutes for each episode. You wouldn't know

over and over again. So although you may get a 10 minute episode, it takes a very long time

for me to record it. Not to mention, edit, or write, research, or investigate the case.

But stick with me, you will notice longer episodes soon. For the rest of you listening,

I'd love to hear your feedback, even if it's just where you're listening from. How long

you've been listening, or how you found me. You can leave that feedback to me on Apple podcasts.

Borden and the murders she committed allegedly. In the last four episodes, we've explored the case

and looked at several different angles. The court proceedings revealed one shocking detail

that shifted the focus away from Lizzie and towards something, perhaps greater. It began with

assumptions and circumstantial evidence. Prosecutors pinned the murders on Lizzie, stating a woman's

natural cunning slinus as justification, which the jury wouldn't accept as actual evidence.

The acquittal was noteworthy because it symbolized the victory of the rule of law over personal
