Hi, Sarah! Lizzie Borden was probably guilty. She was home through the whole thing, two murders occurring at different times--AXE murders--and only calls out for help after the second body was discovered. Enough to convict beyond a reasonable doubt? Nah--my conscience would have had to say not guilty if I’m on the jury. But even saying that, I’d always be thinking she probably did it. Great episode, especially running solo!
