In this episode we interview William Spencer, author of two books on the case. His first one, THE CASE AGAINST LIZZIE BORDEN, examines the legal proceedings (inquest, preliminary, grand jury, and trial) on a day by day basis.
Bill’s newest book is titled LIZZIE BORDEN UNCUT A CASE BOOK OF THEORIES. It is the book every Bordenite wished someone would write. It is a critique of all the major books and legal articles on the Borden murders and covers five main areas, the books and essays about the legal aspects, those authors who believe an intruder did it, those authors who rely on conspiracy for their solution, those who believe Lizzie did it, and those who write that Bridget Sullivan was the killer. Only after all of this does Bill examine Motive and Means and gives his take on the crimes. It is an excellent read and highly recommended.
