Lifetime's 'Lizzie Borden Took an Ax': A whack and a miss

They say you can't libel the dead, but I feel a little sorry for Lizzie Borden anyhow. Acquitted of the gruesome 1892 murder of her father and stepmother at the family's home in Fall River, Mass., she was instead convicted by playground jump-rope rhymes: We don't, after all, say Lizzie Borden allegedly took an ax and gave her mother 40 whacks. (And anyhow, sources say, it was only 19 whacks.)
