Lizzie Borden and her sister fell out following an argument and it is claimed they did not speak again, but it was some time (13 years) after the trial and acquital. As with everything surrounding the murders, it is odd.
Bonnie Parker seems to be complicit in the murders, by her presence. I do not know if that was enough to convict her in the US. Certainly in the UK, people were famously hanged by their presence, while the murderer was acquited on a technicality, such as their age. The Derek Bentley case is very famous and contributed, along with the equally famous Ruth Ellis case, to the end of capital punishment. Both were made into films, Let Him Have It starring Chrisptopher Ecclestone and Dance With a Stranger starring Miranda Richardson.
The story of Ruth Ellis is heartbreaking and the film is difficult to watch.
