Last Will & Testament of Lizzie Andrew Borden. A native of Fall River, MA, Lizzie was suspected of murdering her father and stepmother. Her trial was one of the most sensational in US history, due in large part to the fact that the person charged with the crime was a church-going spinster who taught Sunday school. After she was found not guilty by a jury of locals, despite a wealth of circumstantial evidence, she was socially ostracized by the community and became more and more reclusive during the remainder of her life.
