The source of that fascination might lie in the almost unimaginably brutal nature of the crime–given the sex, background, and age of the defendant–or in the jury’s acquittal of Lizzie in the face of prosecution evidence that most historians today find compelling. …”

I don't think that the axe would be sharp enough to do that after a few whacks, unless GrumpyBiker (or SeattleEdge) had sharpened it anyway.
