A hung jury that is. A re-enactment of the trial by middle school students in New Hampshire resulted in that verdict.
See: http://www.citizen.com/apps/pbcs.dll/ar ... /CITNEWS08
The case was converted from a criminal case to a civil case. It doesn't say who was sueing her however.

I expected this to be about the ballet Fall River Legend, in which Lizzie gets hanged. I was looking forward to correcting you, but no such luck!

Absolutely. (Incidentally, contrary to popular belief, your use of "hopefully" was NOT incorrect.)

Yes these were the kids we had at the house about 2 weeks ago Friday. I had posted about it under The House topic. Len came over and gave this lucky bunch a Q&A session. It was one of my favorite evenings ever in 11 years there. Super smart students! They politely asked if they could try on our costumes and we had a great discussion about leg o' muttons and 1890's styles.
