What the video says
In Fall River, a bank president rested on his sofa. Upstairs, his wife was already dead. Andrew and Abby Borden were killed at home, August 4th, 1892. No eyewitnesses. No weapon ever conclusively identified. Andrew's younger daughter, Lizzie Borden, stood trial. In 1893, the jury found her not guilty. The killings remain unsolved. A folk rhyme, and now a new Netflix series, keep retelling it. Which version did you hear first? The full case file is on casepin dot org.
