Says Lizzie Borden scholar, K. Koorey, "The pitiful saga of the Bertha Manchester murder was an important addendum to the legend of the Borden Case. The murder was committed in similar style, with similar weapon, in 1893, in daylight, upon an innocent woman. It's splash upon the headlines May 31, 1893, just days before the beginning of the trial of Lizzie Borden for the hatchet murder of her father and stepmoother may have influenced a jury pool that was about to be chosen to serve on the 'Trial of the Century.'"
