Given the considerable press coverage and the anticipation of a very wild hearing, people that came to the first day of the trial were probably a little surprised, and probably because we're human beings and we're kind of the worst.
They were probably disappointed to find the so-called, quote, worst woman in the world,
to have, quote, lost much of her former strength and vivacity during her imprisonment.
During the first day of trial, she sat quietly beside Carpenter and never said a word.
The trial came to an end just three days later, and the jury deliberated for four hours before turning and handing down a guilty verdict.
Having been found guilty of first-degree murder, she was returned to the courtroom the next day for sentencing and again had no response when asked if she had anything to say in her defense.
When the judge asked her to stand so he could pass sentence, Lizzie again failed to respond, and it took four men to lift her to her feet, where she, quote, swayed in the grasp of the officers, but there was no expression on her face.
