Resumen del Editor

For one 123 years the mystery of Lizzie Borden has captivated the public as perhaps one of the most celebrated cases in our American justice system. After her acquittal, Lizzie Borden was ostracized in her hometown of Fall River, Massachusetts. She was even mocked in the now-famous children's skip rope rhyme which went: "Lizzie Borden took an ax - Gave her mother 40 whacks - When she saw what she had done - Gave her father 41." Perhaps the truth lies in the key testimonies presented at the time of her trial. For the first time presented here in this easy to listen dialog format, is the full transcript of The Trial of Lizzie Borden.

Not as interesting as I had hoped

This is the records from the court case. It’s about exciting as watching paint dry. With that said, from the evidence presented, I don’t think Lizzy Borden killed her parents.

Excellent!

This gives great insight into the case from before nning through the trail. the details are very concise and the Narration is very good. I can't wait to start the second part.

Great read

Real enjoyed the book. Loved the subject. Felt like you were sitting at the trial.

Fantastic!

Did Lizzie Borden really back her father and step-mother to death? In. The Fall River Murders: Trial Of Lizzie Borden Volumn I you can judge for yourself as W.B. Ward reads the first part of the original court transcript.

This reviewer found the audio book riviting and is anxiously awaiting Volumn II. I can't help but wonder if the trial shouldn't be re-opened for two reasons: men's opinions of women being delicate creatures, a popular opinion of the time, also there seems to be some conflicting evidence in Volumn I. So, did she do it?

Interesting!

This is an interesting way to go over this case. I've read serveral different accounts of Lizzy's life and trail but none quite like this. I look forward to more from this author.

Did she or didn't she?

This is an intriguing account of an unsolved mystery. Volumn 1 tells of the events surrounding the brutal slayings of Mr. Andrew Borden and his wife Abby. The main suspect was his daughter Lizzie. Her subsequent trial is told here from court transcripts. Spoiler alert, she was acquitted. The author has done a great job presenting the details in "edge of your seat" fashion. W.B. Ward does an excellent job narrating and doing the voices of the characters involved. I am looking forward to hearing Volumn 2!

Precise transcript of the trial and dramatic flair

A must listen for all who study the Borden case. very well read and dramatized.

Brings the reader into the Courtroom!

Jim Jordan reviews the facts, the transcripts and retells this still unresolved true crime. Great book!

Filled with SO MANY juicy tidbits!

I LOVED THIS!! Over the years I’ve owned/read lots of books about this case, but for some reason THIS ONE, and being done in audiobook format - included SO many little details that I was apparently unaware of. I was astonished. It was truly like being right there. Such as how the actual bloody murder sofa Andrew was killed upon, was brought into the courthouse and set out in the hall!!! Witnesses spilling out seemingly trivial facts that make you go wait, what??? And much more!

I also liked this narrator...although not perfect, he REALLY added genuine realism, as it makes it seem as if HE was actually there and is telling you all about it! Loved it. A LOT. If there is a future Volume 2. . . .SOLD!

Great story

The story is well defined and a great read. It was a true crime with the right amount of liberties to enhance the story by the author, but not take away from the facts. It's worth the read for sure!
