Lizzie Borden Society Forum

I was on the website "YouTube" and was watching an interview with Arnold Brown. His theory was that Lizzie couldn't have killed Andrew because she loved her father to much. Ok, I believe that for her father, but she hated her step-mother.

His other part of his theory is that the ill-legetamate son named William killed Andrew and Abby because Andrew wouldn't acknowledge him and of course, money. He thinks maybe Lizzie had a hand in it or at least had knowledge of the murder or that William was going to do this. He does admit that he has no proof of this.

But for me, his theory and reasonings are just alittle too far fetched.

He was dying when the last videos were made. It's upsetting to think that. Poor guy.
I do not know how much he believed his theory vs. whether his brain was affected by his illness. I also do not know how much he believed his theory vs. how much he may have wanted controversy in order to sell more books.

Our Eugene gave some analytic insight into Brown's theory in the newest Hatchet issue.

Also, in a past Hatchet issue the whole story about how Brown got the theory and changed it was written and reprinted by Linda Rodrigues: "Family Secrets."
Nov/2007, Vol. 4, Issue 4

Just out of curiousity, what was Brown illness? Cancer. He didn't look all that old in the video I was watching.
