In the years following Eliza's death, her case continued to be a subject of controversy and debate. Some argued that she had been the victim of class prejudice, with the legal system favoring the word of her employers over that of a lowly servant. Others pointed to the flawed nature of the evidence against her, suggesting that she had been condemned on the basis of nothing more than circumstantial evidence and the biases of those involved in the trial.
