...Fallon Perez Psychological Theories Often times when discussing murders, people say the killer “just snapped.” In many instances, there is a downward spiral of mental and emotional damage. The killers leave behind warning signs and clues. To grasp more of an understanding of these signs and clues, one should research four main case categories: mothers who kill their children, children who kill their parents, mass murders, and serial killers. To gain better insight to these psychological theories behind homicides, this paper highlights individual cases in each category mentioned above. One of the categories to look at is mothers who kill their children. For this particular case, a prime example would be the Andrea Yates Murders. Andrea Yates was a former Texas resident, who drowned and murdered her five children on June 20, 2001. Andrea waited for her husband to leave early Wednesday morning to fill a bathtub where she would drown her five children. She began by killing the three middle children, “drowning them face first in the tub, then proceeding to put them in their beds and cover them with the sheets” (Ramsland). Then she went on to kill the six-month-old baby. Once the baby was dead, she left him floating in the tub. When she called her eldest son to the bathroom, he immediately realized the danger he was in and ran. “Andrea chased and dragged him to the tub” (Ramsland). She then struggled with drowning him, but eventually was successful but not before he could...

...Lizzie Borden Case The trial of Lizzie Borden is a very controversial topic and many believe the case verdict should have been ruled otherwise. The murder of Abby and Andrew Borden by multiple ax whacks to the head caused many to believe that Lizzie Borden, the daughter of Andrew Borden, did it. The case ruled ‘Not Guilty” on June 20, 1893. Based on research and evidence, I believe that Lizzie Borden was guilty because of her claimed whereabouts, the ironic poisoning coincidence, and the burning of a dress, which is the opposite of the actual court ruling in 1893. Lizzie Borden and the maid, Bridget Sullivan were the only ones home at the time of the murder of Abby Borden. Bridget was outside washing windows and Lizzie claimed to be downstairs. It’s strange that “she heard no alarming noises”. (Source J) In addition to that, there was no sign of forced entry. If an intruder committed the murders, they would have “had to hide in the house for 90 minutes or departed and then returned without being seen” (Source J) because the 2 murders happened over an hour apart. This would be nearly impossible if Lizzie was downstairs at the time of her stepmother’s murder. At the time of her father’s murder, she claimed to be in the loft of the backyard barn, searching for sinkers for a fishing trip for 15-20 minutes. The police said the loft was very hot and the “also found no footprints”(Source J) which contradicts Lizzie’s statement of where she was at the time of the murder of her father...

...The Lizzie Borden case was very interesting because no one could prove Lizzie was to blame for her parents death.I know Lizzie killed her parents because there is lots and lots of evidence that points to her direction.Evidence such as the dress Lizzie was wearing the day of her parents murders,she supposedly burned that dress with a “paint” stain on it which was asked of the day she was trialed in court.Lizzie knew the court was going to test for blood on the dress and that she would be found guilty,so she burned it right after she got home coming from the court.Emma Borden claims she “told” Lizzie to burn it and that it wasn't her fault. Another piece of evidence that shows Lizzies guilty is that she hated her stepmother and that she disliked...

...2. a) The bias that Robert Borden believed that Henri Bourassa had, had been his nationality, Henri Bourassa being a French-Canadian nationalist. Adjourning why he had been against conscription, along with his two-million French-Canadians. Therefore, Henri Bourassa had been biased due to his fact of the support of the French-Canadian, himself being one of them. Also, in Quebec where the population had been mainly French-Canadians who had few ties of birth, blood or sentiment to Europe which had body explained why they did not support conscription. b) Henri Bourassa had said “All Canadians who want to fight conscription…must have the courage to say….Canada has done enough.”, which had also closely tied with the other quote he had said, being “It is useless to disguise the truth: two million French-Canadians are united against conscription…”. This had shown Robert Borden, that he had been indeed biased towards the French-Canadians as he supported them, and was also one of them. c) The bias that Henri Bourassa might believe that Robert Borden had,was his nationalistic attributes, he had been seen as a very patriotic character who had induced the idea of constantly aiding in the war effort even if it had not been in Canada’s frontline....

All of us here today know the truth whether or not we accept it, Mrs. Maloney is innocent. The United States of America clearly stated that all people are innocent until proven guilty. Mrs. Maloney was simply at the store purchasing food r for husband as he was tired and did not want to go out. Mrs. Patrick Maloney is innocent because there is no provided evidence stating that she is guilty, Patrick could have simply hurt himself while Mrs. Maloney was gone, and the dried meat on his head doesn’t prove anything.

...The Lizzie Borden Trial Abstract The 1893 trial of Lizzie Borden has been analyzed by historians throughout the twentieth and now twenty first century. Particular interest has been placed on whether Lizzie Borden was guilty or innocent, given the considerable amount of time that has passed it would be irrational to speculate on the jury’s decision to acquit Lizzie. Focusing on the evidence obtained by the Fall River police department and District Attorney Hosea Knowlton we can obtain a better view of the events which occurred that fateful day in August, 1982. Why did the panel of judges disallow so much key evidence presented by the prosecution and could the actions of key courtroom figures have set free a guilty woman? The late nineteenth century would be a critical time in the evolution of substantive and procedural rights, including the right to remain silent for United States citizens. Today men and women enjoy equal rights in the eyes of the law but late in the nineteenth century things were much different, could the way men viewed women have set free a murderer? On a scorching 1892 August day in Fall River, Massachusetts, Andrew and Abby Borden were violently murdered in their home on Second Street. The Lizzie Borden trial held in 1893 attracted attention from nearly the entire United States with newspapers in New York City, Providence, and Boston publishing articles at a frenzied pace. The subsequent police investigation and trial of Lizzie Borden gained national...

...The Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast and museum was built on the 92nd street in Fall River, Massachusetts. Even though the bed and breakfast is popular, and many people travel from all over to stay there, it is not popular for their food or the comfort or being in a beautiful home. The Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast is more known for the brutal killings that happened in 1892, and by whom people believed did the killings. Fall River, Massachusetts was known to be controlled by seven wealthy families. One of those families was the Borden family. Andrew Borden was one of the rare men that was self made and did not earn his money through and inheritance. He began making money for his family by building furniture and coffins (OrfyTv).

...In 1845, Andrew Jackson Borden (1822–1892) married Sarah Anthony (Morse) Borden (1823–1863), bearing three children: Emma Lenora Borden (1851–1927), Alice Esther Borden (1856–1858), and Lizzie Andrew Borden (1860–1927). Their marriage ended in 1863 with the death of Sarah, leaving Emma and Lizzie without a mother. Just two years after the death of Sarah, Andrew J. Borden became acquainted with Abby Durfee (Gray) Borden (1828–1892) at the commencement of a church service. The year is now 1865, and Andrew J. Borden would be marrying his second wife, Abby Durfee (Gray). Andrew J. Borden was a tall slender man with qualities of being a compassionate, gentle, and stubborn individual having a temper. He was born into a family that sustained great financial wealth and power through the cotton and manufacturing industry. As a child, he enjoyed the luxuries that followed this type of persona. But when he became a young man, the family’s wealth had been squandered, leaving him financially poor. In order for him to regain his stamina, he would begin to save and invest all of his money, never borrowing a cent from anyone (a point in his life that he was always proud of and made it well-known to all)....

...main theme is magic and illusion but there is a sub theme which involves obsession, deceit and jealousy arising from the professional magician rivalry between Angier and Borden. The destructive power of obsession and secrecy fuels the battle as both magicians contribute their fair share to a deadly duel of one-upmanship, with disastrous results. This leads either Borden or his twin being hanged and a duplicated copy of Angier shot at the end of the film. The bullet catch scene, Angier’s “The new transported man” trick and the meeting of Lord Caldlow and Jess at Borden’s cell are three key moments in the film that show the way the character of Angier develops. The director uses costume and mis-en-scene to create the complex character of Angier. At the bullet catch scene, Borden is performing the bullet catch when Angier comes in disguise. The director uses close up focusing on the gun which Angier is holding in his hands. The gun dominates. The camera tilts up to show Angier’s determined expression. Angier aims the gun towards Borden and asks, “what knot did you tie Borden?” The fake beard and moustache Angier is wearing as a disguise resemble the real facial hair he grows at the end of the film as Lord Caldlow. This is significant because the fake beard and moustache enables him to fake his death and frame Borden for murder. They also act as symbols and...

...Cody Gillman Miss L. Smith English IV Period 1 8th October 2012 One of the most significant experiences that I have gone through was Buckmasters World championship. Buckmasters is a world archery competition in Montgomery, Alabama. It is a 3D pop-up competition, which means that you stand in a stand while deer pop-up controlled by a computer. Some pop-ups move at a rate of 3-5 miles per hour. There is a 6X6 black aluminum pad that you have to hit in order to gain the points for that target. These targets are set at distances up to 0-60 yards. There is a qualifying round and the actual world championship. I had to compete with 80 people at the qualifier and 40 people at the World championship. The coolest experience about this was that I got to meet professional bow hunters and national archer competeters. The most nerve racking part is standing up In front of 500 people with spot lights on you shooting at deer on channel 3 news. It was a great experience because I got to go through all of this with my brother, he was also competing. I got to see famous hunters face to face. It was pretty cool for everybody to sit and watch me shoot on T.V. I was very nervouse because you only get one chance. If you miss a shot then its over, you have to hit every target in order to have a chance to win. The winner of Buckmasters is 25,000 dollars and two Artic cat fourwheelers. It was a very neat experience and glad that I made it! I ended up placing 22nd...

...For the past century, the Murders of Andrew J. Borden and his wife Abby Borden became one of America’s obsessions. From the towns’ people of Fall River Massachusetts to the rest of the country, the Borden murders became the topic of interest. The case shocked the nation as Lizzie Borden- a 32 year old school teacher- was put on trial for the murders of her parents. On August 4, 1892, at 92 Second Street Fall River Massachusetts, Andrew Borden and Abby Borden were found murdered in their homes. Andrew Borden, the richest man in Fall River, was found dead by his daughter Lizzie Borden, on a couch in the sitting area. Lizzie called to the household maid, Bridget Sullivan, to come down from the attic to inform her that Mr. Borden was dead. When Bridget came down, she found Lizzie at the back door and told Bridget to go get Dr. Bowen, who lived across the street. Dr. Bowen wasn’t home so Bridget told Mrs. Bowen that Mr. Borden had been murdered. When Bridget arrived back at the house she was sent to get Lizzie’s friend, Miss Alice Russell. While Bridget was going to get Miss. Russell, another neighbor, Mrs. Adelaide Churchill saw some commotion at the Borden house and went over to check it out. When she arrived at the house Lizzie told her that her father had been killed. Mrs. Churchill asked where Lizzie’s mother was and Lizzie informed her that her mother received a note asking her to attend to a sick friend. Mrs. Churchill then sent her handyman to search for the Doctor, since...

...Lizzie borden killed both of her parents. There are some reasons why. Reason one is that she burned evidence, reason two is she lied to the police about where she was, and reason three is she lied about geting fishing equipment from the barn. In this essay is the reasons why lizzie is guilty for killing her parents. The first reason is that she had burned a dress that was supposed to be evidence. In Lizzie Borden An Account pg 4. paragraph 7 “Russell told grand jurors that she had witnessed Lizzie Borden burning a blue dress in a kitchen fire allegedly.” this evidence was enough to convince the grand Jurors to at least indict Lizzie for both of the murders of her parents. Also Lizzie lied to the police many time about where she was. In the document named Lizzie Borden’s Inquest Testimony pg 3. The interviewer ask Lizzie “You remember, Miss Borden, that you told me several times that you were downstairs and not up stairs when your father came home?” and on the same page she said “I was coming down when she let him in.” Then she proceeds to tell him. “I don’t know what I have said.” this evidence helps support that she was not telling the truth about where she was....
