An introduction of sorts!

Hello there everyone, my name is Chase!
I'm new to the forum (obviously) but I am not new to the subject of Lizzie Borden. I first heard the story back when I was in third grade (so it was 2005 or 2006, I'm really quite bad at math) when I was outside jumping rope. I remember the classic rhyme and found the subject interesting. The next Saturday, I remember going to the library with my mom and checking out a young adults books on true crime about Ms. Borden. I guess that's what got me into horror and other macabre things, and kind of made me the person I am today.
Anyways, I am digressing! I joined this group with the sole intent gathering information for a project, as well as figuring out any legal things I might have to step through. A team and myself are in the process of writing a musical based on Lizzie, and while we all read the trial transcript page for page and take notes, I was looking on here and thought I could find some other interesting bits.
Another thought I had, and since I can't find it anywhere else, is what (if any) legal processes are there to take when dealing with the story of Lizzie Borden? I originally thought that it's all open and that anyone can write about the subject, but I'd prefer to keep all my ducks in a row and not miss anything that could potentially screw me over, haha! So any help with that would be appreciated!
Thank you all kindly!
