The Battle for Lizzie Borden

Boston University Broadcast Journalism major Ryan McCune has posted his final project on Vimeo. Like his partner, Karlyn Smith, Ryan detailed the trademark infringement lawsuit filed against the True Story of Lizzie Borden in Salem by the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast/Museum in Fall River.

In this assignment, he had to present whatever story he told without his own voiceover, relying on the real people to tell the tale. He interviewed Lee-Ann Wilber, Leonard Pickel, and me, Stefani Koorey, for the project.

It came out really well! I hope you enjoy it too!

Mondo Lizzie Borden, Episode 7: NOT Lizzie Borden

Being a collector of the weird and fabulous as it relates to the Borden case, I have files of these images saved during the past twenty years. And I would like to share them with you now. Laugh, gasp, chuckle, or rage, these photos were all on eBay. For a price. I used to write the sellers and let them know they didn’t have a Lizzie, but soon gave up on that practice. They didn’t care. Even though they were committing fraud by the sale of the image as a true Lizzie Borden. Oh well.

Here we go. Enjoy.
