Bridget works for them so she know where everything goes and where it is, so she knows that house front, back, sideways, and upside down. The weird thing is, she was resting while they were lying there dead until Lizzie came in and "fond" her father, and Bridget just happened to be on the same floor as the death of Abby. Also, Bridget and Lizzie killing Andrew and Abby Borden makes sense when they say that both had no emotions when they found the bodies but they were also angry with Andrew and Abby Borden. When Lizzie and Bridget found the bodies, Lizzie burned a white dress claim it was stained with red paint. She burned the dress in the kitchen, on the stove. However, Despite the rapidity of Herald News’s claim about how Lizzie Borden killed her parents they miss the mark when it comes to Bridget being there when the death of Andrew and Abby Borden because she was there when they were murdered. Bridget has been there for the family for a while. Lizzie and Bridget both know where everything goes and where it is. In conclusion, Lizzie and the maid Bridget both murdered Andrew and Abby

    She had been taken into questioning on June 1893. An all-male jury deliberated and returned saying that she was not guilty but can we really trust an all-male jury group?

Lizzie had much reasons to be blamed for this.
