EUREKA — Lizzie Borden may or may not have given her father and stepmother numerous whacks with an ax in the infamous 1892 murder in Fall River, Mass..
But William Lally, associate professor of criminal justice at Eureka College, thinks a sloppy investigation and lack of sophisticated testing procedures were the reasons she was acquitted by a jury.
“With today's technology, there's no doubt in my mind they'd be able to convict her,” Lally said as he stood in a guest house on campus where the Borden murder scene was recreated in gruesome detail for the benefit of two courses at the college.
The scene was recreated in three rooms of the former home of the college president, through the efforts of the college's theater and prop departments, and students in associate professor Marty Lynch's Stage Design class.
