Last night PISA, the Paranormal Investigators of Southern Arizona, had a blog radio show interviewing Richard Senate about his new book on Lizzie Borden, Shocking Psychic Solutions: The Lizzie Borden Case.

Senate played the “Andrew was a mean old man” card, and characterized Abby as unintelligent, without friends, and a sad woman. I think at one point he even says that Abby and Andrew slept in separate bedrooms. He made many mistakes in his assumptions of the people and the circumstances surrounding the case. He says he has been studying the Borden murders since 1997.

You may notice a strange telling of Emma’s whereabouts during the crime and her return to Fall River that evening. I can’t tell where he gets his ideas from, but he does say the trial transcript is available for free from the “state of Massachusetts.” Well, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts does not provide this document, I do, and was the first to do so online at LizzieAndrewBorden.com. I am assuming he got the transcript from my site, but he does not cite it in his book.
