Dan Broderick was certainty intelligent enough to see that his ex-wife was disturbed, and that his behavior (and to some extent, Linda's as well) was driving her further over the edge. He knew that she had purchased a gun and threatened to use it, and yet despite the fact that he could very well afford it, didn't bother to have an alarm/surveillance system installed, or to even get a guard dog, thus putting both himself and his "newborn" bride in danger. Dan's grearest weakness was his own arrogance. Betty Broderick was pregnant consistently throughout a considerable part of their marriage, and while she brought four healthy children into the world and doted on them in every conceivable way, she also had several miscarriages and lost an infant shortly after it was born; her husband was out of town and Betty had to deal with the loss alone. Betty most likely had undiagnosed & untreated postpartum depression for many years as well as some unresolved grief. As a divorce attorney, Dan knew just how to stick it to the opposing side and enjoyed shafting his estranged wife at every turn. He was also in many ways a controlling, self-absorbed, greedy, sadistic and self-righteousness jerk who had to be right and had to get all the marbles; winning at all costs was everything; that's what made him such a successful attorney. That and the many sacrifices Betty made along the way so he could have it all. Betty knew instinctively that Dan was cheating on her with Linda, but he lied, gaslighted and belittled her for the very purpose of breaking her down. That was his cruel and heartless way of winning, of getting what he wanted; his lack of loyalty and absence of gratitude for the partner that had served him well all those years and through so many obstacles was astonishing. The money Betty was granted was consistent with the exorbitant income that Dan currently made, after both of them had worked so hard to achieve wealth. But nothing could bring back the years that Betty had sacrificed so much for, the opulent life style she had aspired to, or reverse the physical toll of multiple pregnancies, or retain the husband that her identity was so entangled with. Dan got the career and social status he craved without having to sacrifice the children that allowed him to be a father as well as a husband. Dan and the children were Betty's career, but she had lost her husband, her social status and her dignity, all so that her unfaithful husband could start over with a woman that strongly resembled Betty in her youth. The unfairness of it all, the breathtaking betrayal was her unraveling. It's easy enough in hindsight to state that Betty should have just "moved on" as others before have done ; the sad reality was that Betty was too far gone to pick up the pieces after Dan abandoned her. Dan and Linda humiliated her, making fun of her weight gain and erratic behavior. They enjoyed taunting her and the result was she snapped, killing them in an enraged response to the position they put her in, namely that of the abandoned, disgarded and pitiable ex-wife, something that the already unhinged Betty found completely and utterly intolerable. Do I blame Dan for what happened to him and Linda; no, but I do hold him accountable for the appalling way he treated her. I believe that he asked for it in a myriad of ways, and Dan almost always got what he wanted. Almost.

No remorse is totally acceptable. Free Betty this next parole hearing, it’s Time that the abuse of Women STOPS. And that even means no matter what the husband’s position is in the legal community.

I have now lived long enough to have empathy towards Betty Broderick and her plight....As someone born in the Gen X era, women were taught quite differently in comparison to today's women.. Our husband and children became our complete definition of ourselves...So having suffered at the hands tremendously of both now...i get how this could have driven her to these things in a way my younger less experienced self could not have grasped....She started out this beautiful young woman, who was abused and probably felt fragmented and confused by her husband's behavior towards her...Although i do not get today's modern woman approach persay, i do think giving up your life, youth, beauty and future to sacrifice for very ungrateful people can feel like and be interperted as betrayal!! If i could go back to my younger self, i would instruct her to love and put her self first. ...kids leave without much gratitude, husbands divorce and move on....take care of yourself , spiritually, mentally, financially and physically.

This is a democracy and not a catholic theocracy . Anyone can go to a court house and file papers . She was holding on to something that was over instead of trying to do her best in moving on.

I don't believe anyone should take a life unless in self defense and you fear for your own life. I do believe that Betty "lost it". I do think she was mentally abused by Dan. I don't think Dan was the nice guy like some want to have you think. First, he should have kept it in his pants, and second, Linda should NOT have been messing around with a married man. That speaks volumes about Linda and knowing he was married with 4 children. I do believe Linda was not good to Betty and being the young immature age Linda was - yeah I can see her sending those nasty things to Betty. So you had a woman here "Betty" who was already broken and Dan and Linda is going to try to break her more? That was not a wise decision because all they did is drive an already stressed out disturbed lady to MURDER. The true heartbreak here is the children. I have so much empathy for the children having to go through something like this. I wished it had never happened. Betty is paying for her crime and has spent many years in prison. I would like to see her get out and try to re-build her life and re-build her life with her children.

Do not forget, there are certain tactile instruments (weapons) used on people that can cause changes in verbal and mind thought. Used against a person without any knowledge of these apparatus. Law agencies generally have privilege to this type of military artillery instruments. It’s silent but hazardous and invades the human thought processes!

Betty should have been kept in the Psych Unit & treated for her Psychosis after ramming her truck into the front door. She needed treatment & observation. She also needed the HALF of the assets she earned supporting her husband for years. She should have been able to continue to live as Dan did & have no financial worries. She did move on with a boyfriend but Dan still controlled the money & assets she helped to build. He worshipped money & status instead of his beautiful family.

Indeed she was a battered women and she’s paid her debt to society! It’s time for her to be released and sent home. Provided she will follow the guidelines of her parole requirements!

@@VictoriaHudson yeah she even took care of the phone - her own demise and the future of her children meant nothing, only revenge.

Those who actually knew them says Betty was a hateful and impossible women. Even after she got a boyfriend of her own, she continued to terrorize Dan and Linda. She was hell bent on revenge. She didn't even care what she put her own children through and still doesn't give a crap to this very day about them. She's completely self absorbed. It's all about Betty and only Betty. If she and Dan fought, she surely dished it back out like a pro. She wasn't a sweet little abused lady. Plus, Betty herself said that Dan never even looked at another women til he met Linda. By that point he was ready to move on from the screaming psycho that Betty was and still is. And all the hate commenters have for Linda is only based on what Betty says about her. Linda can't defend herself because she's dead. Linda was actually terrified of Betty. To say that Betty is a victim is an insult to those who are actually victims.

When the world was introduced to Betty she was at her lowest point. Broken hurt and lost. Dan was a narcissist and he used his money and power to control the situation . I’m not condoning murder but Dan played a big part of his life ending

They left out the part where Dan took it upon himself to "fine" Betty for using profanity. He would "deduct" it from her spousal support. 😆 At his discretion. Um, does that sound like something that you would be ok with?😂

The fact, also, that she is 76 now, is more proof that this is a lady that should be out of the prison system, which does not go out of its way for the elderly seniors. This case incident happened on November 05, two (2) days prior to Betty’s own birthday, which reflects, to me, the severe emotional trauma of constant duration, that all those current stresses of humiliation and tormented abuse, hindered her mindful reasoning, destroying her thinking clearly processes whereby her nervous system automatically took over and sense of perception of what , who, when; where am I? She was a victim just like a lost lamb, almost to be viewed as a sleep walker, not physically nor emotionally there, to be a fully competent being, of rational mind and actions. Her frame of mind, her capacity for reasoning, was as fractured at that split second, as equally damaging to her entire brain reactivity from the point of human destruction, for which she felt helpless. There was no control left for her mind to have any access to, each part was shred to pieces that evening. A bundle of emotional nervous response driving her further down the road of insanity. She is a. Victim, not a murderer. The mind, when under constant duress, cannot be forced to handle an ounce of more of the same. Rather, it Snaps, enters irrational behavior territory automatically on its own. It takes over, eliminating self-control, self-knowledge - it puts oneself at its own “Twilight ZoneCapacity..” a foreign place! The complexity of the brain when enduring severe duress is not being totally explored here and it does have its place in this case. Severely mentally handicapped is the result that has been overlooked. Abuse of a female takes all forms, coping skills are different for each successive stressor encroached upon said humans, their brainwaves, their sympathetic nervous system. This lady has been fully abused enough, to further abuse Betty Broderick by demanding she must meet remorse as the criteria for her release is just one more further abuse upon a woman that needs to go home!

I agree. I watched her 2nd trial on Court TV. I don't condone Dan cheating on her but on the other hand she drove him away. They both had very strong, narcissistic personalities. Betty was violent all throughout that marriage. She locked him out of the house and threw things at him when he pissed her off. She had serious anger issues, and over time, he wanted out. He buried himself in work to cope with it. If you look at their family photos, he looked very unhappy in the latter years of their marriage. Linda came along and that ignited the fire in him to leave Betty. After the divorce was finalized, Betty still wouldn't let him go. She constantly harassed him and then twisted it to make her look like the victim. There are no voice-mails of him or Linda harassing her. She said that they called her names but there is no evidence of that. The kids didn't testify that they did that. Betty's friends also didn't testify about him verbally abusing her. She wanted everything her way all of the time. The people supporting her are not seeing the truth. Dan and Linda can't tell their side. Also, Betty has never once shared any concern whatsoever about how this affected the children. It's all about me...me...me... with her. She's a narcissist and that's why.

Too many times they put cases close to holidays when jurors want to be at home, shopping, cooking, decorating, greeting overnight guests, relatives, grown children, or traveling to another state for holiday visitation. At those time periods, lengthy time consuming cases should not take place to prevent any cause for a rushed verdict! The general public as jurors should not be forced to rush such conclusions of verdicts due to the normal holiday response to be home with loved ones. That’s so unfair, yet, I have noticed this as factual! I saw 2nd trial was Dec. ll th, verdict reached - just as I thought holiday time, jurors want to be with family.

Betty gets 100% credit for Dan Broderick's career and everything he had and everything he was.... Then Linda comes along and grabs the brass ring that Betty created. Dan just moved on like she was nothing....I think Dan enjoyed showing "the boys club" at the firm what he could get away with. As well as dangling his young side piece in everyone's face. Dan and Linda deserved what they got. Betty should have done it sooner.

Betty says she’s safe because she’s in prison no Betty the world is safe because Betty is in prison.

Crime of passion OR temp insanity doesn’t only last for the time of the crime-temp can mean months. Just want to add one more thing-abuse is not always recognized by the one being abused. Abuse is something that the abused has FELT-BUT if one being abused has come to the place where their thinking has changed DUE to abuse-they will not recognize they were being abused UNTIL their thinking is changed to understand. It is very tedious-for one can be taught ti think abuse is ANYTHING one doesn’t like, then one can think that beatings is justified as they should not have said or done something that made the other mad. She shld not be locked up any longer, but she also needs to understand regret.

If Betty ever wants out, She better start taking accountability for her actions and show some remorse.

She should been released a long time ago and now as she had been in prison for a long time and she needs to be with her grandchildren and rebuild her life again

If anyone glorifies her, I have to think it’s ridiculous. She still in prison for murdering two people.

@@Caramelito33 exactly. And it’s even worse when they say things like Dan and Linda deserved it. I’m so sick of hearing about Betty Broderick.

@@bcatblues725 She had more than one opportunity to go about things correctly, but chose murder instead. Also, the more interviews I watch, the more I am convinced that she is a liar and master manipulator. Everything she says seems to revolve around “me me me and me”, there is 0 accountability and she continuously contradicts herself when recounting certain events…I just can’t support her! 🤷🏻‍♀️

@@Caramelito33 agree. Betty's a classic sociopath, nothing is ever her fault - she'll do her damage then blame the world.

It takes two to make a relationship work. Betty takes no accountability for what she did wrong in the marriage. She had the world at her feet and she still wasn’t happy.

Thank you! So many people supporting her, yet I hear nothing but red flags when it comes to just about everything she says. I mean, he was a total jerk for dropping her for the younger chick, but AT LEAST he admitted to not fulfilling his duties as a husband while with her…not once has she taken accountability for where she could’ve gone wrong 🤷🏻‍♀️

agree. she was impossible to please. she sounds like a classic sociopath - does her damage then points the finger at everyone else. after all it was Dan who made her pull the trigger 5 times - please.

We all could be betty! We don't know how we would react till someone gets under our skin!

@keithabney4665 good for you. I wouldn't do it either but some people would, just like Betty

She's not the 1st wife whose husband cheated on them, ditched them for a younger and prettier woman. She should of just moved on with her life, used her college degree and got a job. Now those children lost both parents.
