On an unremarkable morning in Fall River, MA in 1892, a maid awoke to Lizzie Borden yelling that someone had murdered her father -- his head had been bashed in with a hatchet. Upstairs, Lizzie's stepmother was found bludgeoned to death. Even though 32-year-old Lizzie was acquitted for the crimes in court, the townspeople always believed she was guilty.
