Lizzie Borden’s Lawyer’s Notebooks in Boston Globe

Monday, March 12, 2012 issue of the Boston Globe has an article on the recent acquisition of Lizzie Borden’s lawyer’s notebooks, made during the trial. Andrew Jennings was the Borden family attorney and lead defense member all during her legal troubles. While he did not take the lead in the trial itself, the family having hired a big gun in the name of former governor of Massachusetts George Dexter Robinson, Jennings remained an invaluable asset to Lizzie’s defense.

Here is the article. It may be behind a paywall.

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.
