If You Could Ask ...
If you could ask any of the Borden case characters one question each, what would they be?

To Lizzie and Emma: If you disliked your stepmother so badly, why didn't you move into one of the proterties that your father had?
To Andrew: Why didn't you have the girls move into one of the rentals, especially since you knew Lizzie was stealing from you?
And, finally, to Abby: Why did you stay and put up with all this drama?

I am going to assume that I would recieve an answer to each question and that each answer would be the truth. If the characters could choose not to answer the question or to tell me lies, then there would be certain questions I would not ask. Then I would ask questions that the characters would be more comfortable with.
For example I would not ask "Lizzie did you commited the murders?" if she could lie about it. Instead I would ask something like "Lizzie what are your favorite kind of books that you read?"
Having said that.
Lizzie, did you commit the murders?
Emma, why did you leave Lizzie and Maplecroft?
Pillsbury, were you really ill or did you just pass the buck onto Knowlton to have him try the case?
Bridget, are there any important things that you know about the case that you did not mention at the trial?
Abby, what was your relationship with Lizzie and Emma really like?
Robinson, did you really charge Lizzie $25,000 in legal fees for acting as one of her defence lawyers?
Brownie and me, was it really cool in the hayloft of the barn?
John Morse, what was the heated discusion that took place in the sitting room, on the night before the murders, between Andrew, Abby and yourself, about?
John Fleet, what tone of voice did Lizzie use when she informed you that Abby was not her mother but her stepmother?
Eli Bence, are you certain it was really Lizzie that tried to buy Prussic acid from you on the day before the murders?
Bowen, what was on the scraps of paper that you burned?
Alice Russell, Did you believe that Lizzie really commited the murders when you testified against her or were you only trying to do your civic duty to provide information about the case?

I am assuming that they have to tell the truth.
Abby, who killed you? (I wouldn't want to waste my question to Lizzie on that, since Abby supposedly saw the murderer.)
Andrew: What were you planning on putting in your will?
Emma: Why did you leave Maplecroft?
Hannah Reagan: What really happened in that "Emma, you have given me away?" argument.
Andrew Jennings: What things are still undiscovered by the public that you did not want revealed - that you said could possibly lead to Lizzie being charged with something else in the case?
A girl in Marion, at the Handy cottage just prior to the murders: What did the letter Lizzie send you say?
John Morse: Did you arrange for a hitman?
Lizzie: Did you put poison in the food that week?
Mrs. Churchill: What was the thing you saw in the house on the Fatal Fourth that you said you would never repeat, even if they tore your tongue out? (Witness Papers, last page of text.)
Dr. Cone: (I wouldn't want to waste this question on Dr. Bowen) What did Abby's female problem, included in the autopsy, mean?
Officer Philip Harrington: Was there anything you lied about to make Lizzie look guiltier?
Rev. Buck: How many times did Lizzie attend Central Congregational church after the trial?
Nance O'Neil: Was Lizzie gay?
Victoria Lincoln: How much of your Lizzie book was a lie?
Edwin Porter: What did you leave out of your 'Fall River Tragedy' that you would have liked to put in?
Dr. Bowen: Did you help Lizzie with anything you really shouldn't have after the murders?
