If you were to write a nonfiction book, what might its topic be? ~

Hey, wait . . . 

Grrrrrrrrr. 

  I said NON-fiction!  Grrrrrrr. 

(Just joking.)

I think that will be the title...

  Do you think she did it?

Based upon all the books/research/etc. that I've read, in many ways I think she may not have done it. And maybe she also did know who did. 
It interests me that there is evidence that points at her and evidence that points away from her.

I assume you knew she was acquitted in a trial.

Just the other day I was thinking that, if, like most people seem to believe, she did kill, why would she then choose to live in the same city for the rest of her life? With or without an acquittal, I'd think she would have moved away if she had killed. I tend to think an innocent person would more likely stay in the city in which she lived her whole life.

And, after everything I just wrote, I probably would also not be surprised to find out she did kill.

 

  Yes, you’re right, I was aware that she was acquitted.

  As for not moving away, in that era (especially for a woman and by that time, I believe she was in her late 20s or maybe early 30s) I think that it was quite difficult or quite unusual to move away, especially if she didn’t have relatives in the city to which she would move.
  Of course, her situation was much different and with much more incentive to move, but I think that’s looking at it with more than 100 years of progress having been made in society, it just wasn’t the thing to do.
  She might not have been comfortable living anywhere else, even though there were difficulties in staying in that place after what had happened to her parents.
