What We've Solved 2021

[Kat]

Case related issues, we have solved as a team, and we've done a good job! We're keeping track!
This should be handy for writers and researchers on The Borden Case

-- Even tho there was gilt found in the remains of Abbie's skull, the examination that found it was too long after the crime, and was accidentally deposited by the defense close to trial, probably by fitting newly bought hatchets to the "wounds."

--The 2 parallel marks on the remains of the wood piece attached to the handless hatchet were not from a vise intentionally used while trying to break the handle off, but were from a defect inside the hatchet metal head rubbing against the wood piece because that piece was originally inside the blade head. No handle is left at all to examine.

--What was once considered Morse's "too perfect alibi" the morning of the murders: that he could account for the street car conductors cap number etc. was actually unwittingly created by defense attorney's investigator Arthur Phillips due to his improper memory over 30 years after the trial of Lizzie Borden. We do not discount the sighting of "6 priests."

Love the tracking!!

I suspect Jennings has provided more telltale clues to close more issues in 2022!!

Kat, that goes to show what going back to the original documents can do. Many of the above "discoveries" happened because rather than taking things for granted, we demanded evidence. Here's hoping the Jennings book yields some further facts. Even though he was her defense attorney, he would have attempted to be very factual in his private writings so as to refute anything incriminating that may pop up.
