Defendant: Lizzie Andrew Borden
Lizzie Andrew Borden was an American woman who was the main suspect in the axe murders of her father and stepmother on August 4, 1892, in Fall River, Massachusetts. Despite being tried for the brutal crime, she was acquitted due to a lack of evidence. No one else was charged in the murders, and, despite ostracism from other residents, Borden spent the remainder of her life in Fall River.
