But he's not the first accused murderer to put Fall River, Mass., into the headlines.
The first was Lizzie Borden, who was brought to trial for the 1892 axe murders of her father Andrew Borden and his wife (her stepmom) Abby Borden. You remember lovely Lizzie, don't you? "...gave her mother 40 whacks, when she'd seen what she had done, gave her father 41."
Word on the street, Lizzie was suffering from some monster PMS, and couldn't handle her "bonus mom" telling her to do more household chores.
Let us remind you of this: Lizzie Borden was found 'not guilty' by a jury of her Fall River peers and lived out the rest of her life very comfortably, thanks to her large inheritance from Andrew Borden's estate.
Will clever and high paid attorneys do the same for Aaron?
