Summary: Thrilling and exciting
Review: This book tells the whole story about Lizzie Borden and her trial. It tells how on August 4, 1892 Lizzie's Father and Stepmother were murdered in their own home in the morning. A few days later Lizze was taken under arrest for the charge of murder. A year later her trial began. They started with the opening statements then the prosocutors witnesses. Then the defenses witnesses. It was very exciting reading the exact testimonies the exact opening and closing statements seeing pictures of the real dead bodies and the murder weapon and the true virdict. Doreen Rappaport has written an exciting true story about murder.
