Pochi forse hanno sentito nominare la Transnistria, regione dell'ex URSS autoproclamatasi indipendente nel 1990 ma non riconosciuta da nessuno Stato.

Today, cases are often referred to as the trial of the century, but few could lay claim in the 19th century like Lizzie Borden's in the wake of her parents' murders. After all, the story included the grisly axe murders of wealthy socialites and a young daughter as the prime suspect.
