Lizzie Borden Mock Trial Tonight

If you don’t have ticket, I guess you could still join the standby folks who are hoping some don’t show for this event . . . .

9306060

The mock trial of Lizzie Andrew Borden is this evening in New Bedford, in the very courtroom she was tried in in 1893. I wonder how strange it will feel to be there listening, and judging, the case, pretending we are back in time and trying to figure out a woman’s guilt or innocence.

I have heard that every other recreation or mock trial has found Lizzie not guilty. We shall see if this is again the case.

Details on the event will be posted later or tomorrow. As a member of the audience/jury, I am wondering how I will be voting!

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.
