The latest season of Netflix's "Monster" series tells the story of Lizzie Borden, who was tried and acquitted for the hatchet murders of her father and stepmother in 1892. Ryan Murphy's "Monster" portrays Borden and her maid as the killers and as lovers. Borden was the prime suspect in the murders, which captivated the country, and the court proceedings heightened public fervor. The trial was highlighted by Borden fainting in court when shown the skeletal remains of her parents as evidence, and she was ultimately acquitted partly due to a lack of physical evidence.
