Is it possible Elizabeth Bathory was innocent?

by sadgreenmario

Elizabeth Bathory was accused of murdering up to 600 girls. However, there is suspicion that the evidence against her was exaggerated or outright faked. Does anyone know anything about that theory?

It would be really great if you wouldn't mind me quoting you in a paper I'm writing. I need to conduct an interview with a credible source, but there aren't exactly many people out there knowledgeable about a serial killer from 500 years ago.

Hopefully someone will see and be able to respond to your question shortly, but in the meantime, you may find this earlier discussion helpful:
