HELL NO!!! She is not sorry and blamed the victims for what she did. Guns don't go off by themselves, she pressed the trigger 5 times, I hope she rots in prison.
folks who have tortured kids to death have gotten out of prison in less than 15 years some in less than 5 years she has done huge time and is not danger to us FREE THE TAXPAYERS! !
So if she was to lie through her teeth and say how sorry she was for what she did, she might get parole??..Being 'sorry' changes what exactly? Yes it was a terrible thing that she did, but I have to admit to having an awful lot of sympathy for her, having read this story in depth a few years ago. Having helped her husband get to where he was, she was left a broken woman, something her ex-husband and his new wife seemed to relish. ..She's served her time.Thirty plus years is enough in this case. Let her free.
I totally agree with you! She should have been released years ago! She's not evil. It was a crime of passion! She had enough of the way they kept treating her x
The story of men or women leaving their partners for a younger person isn’t new. It’s painful, hurtful and heartbreaking but I believe a lot of people in this comment section are in denial. Her husband was 💯 wrong to have an affair with his secretary. Betty could have took everything in court , walked away and rebuilt a new life. She was obsessed with them and because she has a narcissistic personality ( her husband does too), she continued with the constant phone calls, stalking, driving her car into their house and eventually deciding that she wasn’t going to allow them to be happy (revenge). She killed 2 people not one so obviously her sentence would be longer plus the way she killed them and the fact she hasn’t shown remorse is why she’s still in prison. There’s no justification for murder in this case. It wasn’t self-defence, he wasn’t even in her life anymore, she dropped the children off to live with him thinking he would eventually return to her. If a man did this, nobody would be feeling the sympathy. She puts on a performance and has played a role as a sweet little woman. When she ripped the phone out of the wall and left two people to die, that’s not what sweet people do sorry.
@@mariancounsellor I'm not sure where you get the idea she tried to portray herself as a 'sweet little woman' Marian.? What she did portray herself as was a woman totally dedicated to to doing whatever it took, to do the best for her family..which (from memory,) included taking menial jobs,which enabled her husband to,..not ONCE, but TWICE, train first as a doctor, then as a lawyer. As I stated, this is from memory.What I read some time ago went into far more detail.The things her ex and his new wife did were nasty and hateful.
She was never a threat to the society, but only to the family, I think she will probably harass her kids if she gets out, I think she is still a danger.
She was so full of it at that parole board meeting. She went from hating these people, to saying it was all Dan’s fault. Then she comes to the parole board and says I took the lives of two wonderful people. BS Betty
at this point there is no need for remorse. she's done her time. its not like she will kill again or something. parole board is just being vindictive at this point.
OakhillSailor, she took 2 lives. 2. She is EXACTLY where she belongs .The parole board is not being "vindictive"; they are doing the right thing. She put herself there.
She has done her time??? Really? That is absolutely ridiculous. She should not ever see the light of day. Just as her victims (murdered in cold blood) will never see it. How dare anyone say she should be living in our society. I , for one, would like to feel safe from nut jobs like her. And anyone who thinks she should be set free is a nut job too.
human being you don’t think that the way Betty treated her husband and family was emotionally abusive? You must have a very one sided definition of that term. Maybe you aren’t familiar with the history and backstory of this case? It doesn’t sound like you are. If you have a point to make then make it. But don’t weaken yourself by calling me Dans sister, a narcissist, etc. It just sounds stupid. Also cruel and unsympathetic to two families who lost people they dearly loved.
Further more, I Never said it was ok to be emotionally abusive or to betray the ones you love. So don’t put words in my mouth and assume you know my personal ethics. But it is definitely Not ok to kill someone if you are emotionally abused or manipulated. Walk away instead. Anyone that would make that choice deserves to live with the consequences of their physically violent act. Which is very different than non violent acts. Why not just move on and find a happy life? She was always the victim according to her. And takes no accountability for her part. She could have made much better and more empowering choices for the sake of herself and her children. She had plenty of money and resources.... including the option of seeing a therapist. Now she gets to live the rest of her life living with consequences, rightfully so.
She needs to be let out IMMEDIATLY.This woman is not a criminal. She is a hero and a saint. At times, when she speaks, I am reminded of Hildegard.von Binge. We should be listening carefully to the words betty speaks. They have a resonance that will live
This woman is evil. She not only killed two people ,but she also destroyed her children’s lives and the lives of the family of Dan and Linda..Hope she will rot in jail.
Oh please! He paid Betty a nice sum of money each month. It was not like he kept her in a cage! She should have moved on and started a new life. Blaming this on a murdered human being, is so pathetic.
maria margarita suarez my ex wife and her new husband put me through hell. Plus she theatened to take my kids out of the country... Probably Mexico!!! I could have hurt both of them.... But thank God I restrained myself. Let her stay in jail.
NO......a crime of passion and I assume you'd want to argue a forgivable crime......happens in the moment. That's not what happened here. She broke into the home, walked to the bedroom with a gun and then proceeded to shoot. That's not a crime of passion. That's COLD BLOODED INTENT. Betty Broderick is DAMNED LUCKY to have a shot at parole and I hope she stays locked up until she she can actually show some understanding and acceptance of how wrong what she did was. She isn't there yet.
Oh, it is a crime of passion? Well then, killing two is ok in that case. Really? She screwed herself over, because she pulled the trigger ... several times.
@@sabiahwitcher571 lol what a tool. I am American .so is that what you do when you lose an argument, you go on the attack?It is a common mistake made by the uneducated.Take the L...you earned it.
uh... have you seen her stalking abilities? Most people go to therapy to get over being cheated on, not call a million times, threaten people and act like an absolute psychopath in front of their children... If any man did what she did leading up to the murders, would you feel the same? I think not... Unstable people who break in and shoot people to death for doing her wrong is not justifiable. It's narcissistic.
She’s notorious because it’s rare for a woman to do this even though cheating is not uncommon. If every woman who was cheated on acted like Betty, the prisons would be overflowing. She couldn’t allow him to move on and be happy and she was obsessed rather than moving on with her life. We all have choices and murdering two people under these circumstances does not make you a good woman in any stretch of the imagination.
Let a killer go? Please. Every interview I have seen, she blames the victims, not herself. And when she does shows remorse, it is SO fake, it hurts. She is a heartless killer, who killed the father of her 4 kids. Prison is where she belongs.
I think she should be paroled. She’s done 30 years. They say she is still angry so therefore not paroled..well she’s not a serial killer, she’s not going to hurt anyone else. So let the woman get paroled and get some help to get rid of all that anger… there’s no therapy in prison. She done her time. Yes what she did was wrong but she’s done her time. The two of her children that would want to spend her latter years should get their chance to do that. IMHO
For those of you who are wondering what the decision was. She was supposed to serve an x number of years in prison but was commuted to life in prison without possibility of parole due to the fact she showed no remorse over her actions apparently. Her ex husband was a jerk who kept putting her down telling her she was getting old and fat. Ultimately he had custody of the kids, his new wife on the other hand was also a horrible human being. She mailed her brochures and ads for wrinkle cream and weight loss ads just to taunt Betty. This torment has been going on for 5 years after the divorce. So after all these years, she snapped and pulled the trigger on them both. After she supported her husband, paying for his college tuition until he graduated, he was ungrateful in the end. After being tormented, I understand why she snapped but it wasn't right. If anything she was the real victim because of the putdowns and abuse she endured for so long.
pedos get less then this,its ridiculous,she was no danger to anyone but her husband,ive seen plenty of murderers of more than one victim get freed after serving half their time and reoffend,this was a crime of passion,its time she was let out
Murder is murder no matter how you define it. She walked in the house, middle of the night shot two people dead. Doesn't matter who did what to who. She killed two people. She deserves to be in jail and serve her time as any other human being that commits the same crime.
@@workhorse7134 so are you saying Linda and Dan were saints? Did you know Divorce is a SIN? Maybe hell is where you end up since you have no problem with the suffering Dan and Linda caused both his ex wife and children..Divorce hurts many people but you seem okay with that.
She has served the 30 years let her out. The lawyers his friends are punishing her. We all need to stand up for her and the friends of dan are making sure she pays so their wife’s don’t think they can get away with anything
@@ritarutten345 He was sick! The way he treated her! He broke his vows! NOT HER! HE CHEATED! NOT HER, HE TOOK HER CHILDREN..! She did everything she could for that man! Supported him through medical AND law schools!! Plus brought up 4 of his children! He and Linda wouldn't leave Betty alone!! For years after the divorce!!! You don't know what your talking about! In an ideal world, The Authorities should have supported Betty! How could she compete against a Lawyer! He gaslighted her for years! She was a pressure cooker and exploded! She's not evil! It was a crime of passion!!
@J Moore We have heard of 8 life sentences for convicted criminals. I've always assumed that was legalese. But for the rest of us, it was a good way to rub it in.
California Guy The point is he didn't "take" the kids as he is sometimes accused of doing, and also Betty is not deserving of pity for not having them, because she willingly gave them up.
@@jn8ive60 You going round having affairs with other womens husbands or something? You sure sound verrry defensive of ol' Dan and his side-kick Linda!!! Hmmm?😂
@@gloriamaryhaywood2217 Ha ha once. And it was fine and ended happily with nobody hurt. It is true that I don't believe in monogamy. However, one can believe in monogamy, and still have the brains to condemn Betty Broderick. One can believe that Dan was wrong in lying to her about the affair for two years, and I do believe that, but still have the brains tp condemn Betty Broderick. Having an affair and lying about it before admitting it and leaving is NOT justification for constant abuse and harassment, and it most definitely NOT justification for cold-blooded murder. Countless women have been in her shoes. Here is what they have done: Behaved with some grace, some dignity, refrain from engaging in abuse and harassment, not dump their children on their ex's doorstep the way that Betty did, hire good divorce attorneys, and then cooperate with the attorneys and not fire them willy-willy (Betty refused to co-operate and fired her attorneys for no reason---well the reason was she wanted to appear the victim), and MOVE ON.
No offense but I think they should let Butty . don't get me wrong I mean she should own up to what she did but I think they've kept her there long enough and I think it's time to set her free.
@@aprilb1920 I know what she did was wrong but so did her husband I mean she was the one who put him through school and where he got to where he was. I think it was that she was not thinking clearly
@@amberthurman3936 Her not thinking clearly is an excuse? Or her putting her husband through school? She should have moved on!!! NO EXCUSES!!!! SHE IS WHERE SHE BELONGS!!!!
@@amberthurman3936 the two levels of wrongdoing are not equal though. She could have moved on with her life but she was jealous of the new wife and wanted to be in control so she killed them both.
By that way of thinking, the police officer who killed George Floyde should be let out also, because George was a scum bag career criminal who took part in a home invasion, and held a gun to a pregnant woman's stomach while his friends ransacked the house ! See what a slippery slope you are on when you support street justice !
That’s not true. It depends on the circumstances and factors of the case. She killed 2 people and hasn’t shown remorse so why are they going to release her early? There are plenty of cases where women have been released early or given light sentences it all depends on the circumstances. In this case, she wasn’t deemed to be mentally ill, she sneaked onto their house whilst they were sleeping and she fired multiple shots into them. The aggravated nature of the case means until she demonstrates that she is unlikely to be a danger to others, they may never give her parole.
Betty made Dan what he was. He got great joy it seems from tournamenting the mother of his children And pitting their children against their mother. Betty had no right however to take Dan from their children. The new Trophy wife sent Betty pictures and wrote notes calling her old and sending her adds for wrinkle cream. Absolutely I believe betty had a breakdown after years of tournament! I don't believe she would hurt anyone else I wouldn't be afraid to have her for a neighbor. Free Betty Broderick!
You know he treated her like crap he cheated on her and then he got a restraining order he took everything from her when she bought her life around her husband the way he did hurt was completely not right dumped her for a younger model I think she should be released she’s done enough time
Do you have any effing idea WHY he got a restraining order? And how was that "treating her like crap" anyway? Wanting someone to stop harassing you is "treating them like crap"?
LET HER OUT!!! I don't agree with the murders, but I don't feel bad about Dan and Linda's murders either. I have much more compassion for Betty. She worked hard to put Dan through college, went without, and raised his children, and then when he was finally making a lot of money, he dumped her for a younger women...what a jerk. I think Betty was besides herself to get peoples attention to what she was going through. Even her "friends" left her. I have two friends who were rejected by their long time husbands, for younger women. Pains from the heart are worse than physical pains. I can't get Betty, and what she went through, out of my mind. Too many women today have no Christian morals and don't care if a man is married or not. Linda was a gold digger. Dan had a good job and money, while she didn't have an education or money. I NEVER like sluts or adulterers who break up families, be they men or women!!!
Exactly and well said. I even read that his mistress was fired from her job as an airline stewardess and then Dan hired her as a paralegal. Affairs make my blood boil. I hate it.
baby Lisa tell that to their kids he was their dad too and she took that from them because she was mad about being left for a younger woman women are left every day and they do not do what she did he was no saint but her kids are the ones suffering not her
@@gloriamaryhaywood2217 If I saw my mother constantly and viciously abusing my father, when all he wanted was to get a divorce and for each of them to go on with their lives peacefully, it would be my mother I'd be angry with. Betty made Dan and Linda miserable and tried to drive them crazy, not the other way around.
@@jn8ive60 Dan and Linda were the ones who decided to have the extra-marital affair. Of course it led to the breakup of Dan and Bettys marriage. Don't you think that is what ignited the whole keg of dynamite? Hope it was worth it for them, as their actions cost them their lives and screwed up those childrens lives forever!!!
@@gloriamaryhaywood2217 No, I don't really think that the affair really led to the break up of the marriage. I don't think an affair can EVER lead to the break up of a marriage. Happily married men can and do have affairs, but if they are happily married, they never let the affair break up the marriage. Only an unhappily married man will leave his wife for the woman he's having the affair with. I think that if Dan hadn't had an affair with Linda, he would have had an affair with someone else, and that it was inevitable, whoever he had the affair with, that the marriage would end. Because in his case, any affair would have been a prelude to leaving an unhappy marriage.
Women always get harsher sentences, if the situation would it be a man that killed his ex wife and husband, the judge would it been soft on him and sentence 18 to 25 years and posibility for parole at 15 years. This is so unfair!
Been smoking crack a long time have you? A man would've gotten death or life without parole! Women get half what men do! We need more equal rights for prison time, but I don't hear feminist wanting that.
2-15-2020: I feel nothing for Dan or Linda. They both made fools out of Betty and she was supposed to stand back and take it?? She snapped and did what she had to do in order to bring peace to herself. Dan saw the signs early on, so he and Linda should have treaded very lightly going forward, but instead got what she felt they deserved! All in all, you don't mess with a woman and her children.
Betty did not want to lose the prestige of being married to Dan, she was vengeful. watch her trial for the real story...she just wouldn't let go . Snapped more like carefully planned. Stealing the house key, going in the dark, moving the telephone. She is right where she belongs
@@Kat-nd1ln 3/13/22: I did watch her trial and then some, and of course she didn’t want to lose the prestige. She worked damned hard and earned it. But she didn’t want to be made a fool of either after all that she sacrificed (no woman would) with Dan first having an affair with Linda, despite his denials and lies, before she became his wife. Betty hung in there with Dan during the lean years of their marriage helping to support his dream with raising their children, keeping house, working 2 and 3 jobs (and sometimes more) to support the family while he continued his education, on top of trying everything she could to be loving and attractive for Dan, (despite his constant verbal taunts about her looks), just so he could become the hot shot attorney he eventually became, only to be thrown away like yesterday’s garbage in the end by Dan after he achieved success. I don’t think so. Whether snapped or carefully planned, she was driven to the unfortunate act which caused their demise. If anything makes more sense besides “snapped” or “carefully planned”, I tend to think that Betty had temporary insanity when she went overboard. And because of that act, I feel that she had to do some time for her part in it, but not this long. Her buttons were pushed beyond the limits by Dan’s (and Linda’s) disrespectful and overall insensitive acts against her and unfortunately, they both went down side by side.
@@conishkee betty was a foul-mouthed pain-in-the-ass YEARS before linda showed up. always thought it was interesting that during the arrests, the murders, the trials - betty's parents were MIA. her problems began waay back. in my book seems like betty loved to dish out the crap but screamed victim when it was her turn for paybacks. classic sociopath.
What she did was wrong, but are you serious, he would never have been the man he was with out her sacrifice, I believe she's suffered enough, he traded her in for a younger version of her, then gas lighted her making her feel crazy, And I do believe he just wanted her to roll over and suddenly live a life without him, while her paraded this poor young girl to all they events shed formerly been the one on his arm...let her go she a little old lady now...I truly detest the crime, but she went over the edge and did loose it.my opinion, not meaning any disrespect to the victims, or the family's of the victims.
Denise Stahl I've watched every murder documentary imaginable. I actually cried watching Betty today. A reaction I'm not familiar with. I felt she was let down by absolutely everyone around her. She did absolutely everything for her family and he let her down so much. I wouldn't even like to think what I'd do if I was in her shoes..
what kind of girl--definitely not a woman, but a good subservient girl--decides to screw around with a married guy, with a family? i'm with betty. linda's a tramp, no matter how you look at it. those kids were hurt b/c linda spread eagle. betty was tortured into freaking out.
You are incorrect when you say "He would never have been the man he was without her sacrifice." It's time to lay this myth to rest. Dan Broderick's parents paid for his medical degree. He took out a loan for his law degree, which he later repaid. He paid for that himself. It's true that Betty had to endure 3-4 years of poverty while Dan obtained his law degree, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't have been become what he was if he hadn't married her. If he hadn't married her, he would have done exactly what he did when he did marry her. Get a loan, work odd jobs while obtaining his law degree, and then become a very successful malpractice attorney. Betty had nothing to do with him becoming successful. Again, she had to endure a few years of poverty while he worked at it, but that doesn't mean she contributed to his success.
Janice Robinson Were you a part of their marriage? The 3rd wheel? Menage a trois? Did they involve you in their affairs? Get a grip! Betty worked to pay the bills while Dan received his education, did she not? I mean, you had your nose up both their assholes, right? You were the 3rd wheel in their relationship. Seems like you should know that! She supported them during those poverty ridden years! But you're saying she didn't contribute to his success? How is working to pay the bills and put food on the table while your spouse attends college not helping to contribute to their success? Betty also raised their kids and maintained their home. He wouldn't have achieved everything he achieved without Betty. Period. I would be willing to bet you're perpetually single. Failed relationship after relationship...right? To think that a man who went from rags to riches did so alone without the support and help of his wife is outrageous! If you were in a long standing marriage and someone told you that you helped in no way while your husband achieved great success and would have done it all without you, you'd be infuriated! That tells me either you've never been married or you have several failed attempts under your belt. No woman in a long standing marriage would have your ignorant opinion.
@Brian Monday lmao...tell that to the courts. You can say "free betty" until your lips fall off...she's NOT getting out. Also, seek out a psychiatrist. You are mentally unwell like Betty.
A lot of people think that those two we're perfect people and she was the monster for killing her husband and his new wife but they were just as guilty if not more for murder they may not have killed her body but they killed her mind and soul and to me that is worse because now she has to suffer for the rest of her life I say free Betty give her a chance it was out if passion and a mental break down. And I'm not usually for a killer. But they had a big part in their own murder.
well personally that's a bunch of crap. we have laws for a reason. she stood trial and was found guilty by a jury of her peers. she got what she had coming. she shot two people in their sleep. she wasn't in danger. you people saying she had a right to do it scare the hell out of me.
I think the responses on this board exhibit an extreme cruelty among all too many Americans. The woman had a psychological breakdown and was not responsible for her actions. Dan and his little bitch drove her to it.
@@sunburypennsylvania8322 She was her own worst enemy. It's true that Dan did not want to pay Betty the amount of money that she felt she was entitled to. That's common in divorces. But he wouldn't have been able to dock her monthly support payments (I assume that's what you mean by "bullying") if she didn't constantly bombard his answering machine with foul, abusive messages. He wouldn't have been able to have her sent to a mental facility (I assume that's what you mean by "bullying") if she hadn't driven her car into his front door. He wouldn't have been able to have her arrested (I assume that's what you mean by "bullying") if she hadn't violated a restraining order by going to his property and then, in the presence of the police, refusing to leave. Linda never would have gone into Betty's home uninvited (I assume that's what you mean by "bullying") if Betty hadn't first opened the guest list to Linda's wedding uninvited and then stolen it. And finally, Dan wouldn't have done as well as he did in the divorce settlement if crazy Betty had only cooperated with her attorneys, retained her attorneys instead of firing them, and then actually had attorneys representing her instead of attempting to represent herself. If Betty had behaved with a modicum of pride, common sense, and decency, most of what you call Dan and Linda's "bullying" would never have occurred, and she would have come out of the divorce in a much better position financially than she did.
Her 4 disgusting children turned on her. They followed the money.Shame shame on them. Dan and stinky Linda got just what they were asking for. Bravo Betty when asked about the whole situation, “Dan and Linda are dead and I’m still breathing” You gotta love Betty❤️
Betty is no threat to society! They should let her out! She never screwed over those spoiled children, Dan took Lee out of his will! Linda knew Dan was married, Betty snapped, end of story!! Let her out..
You are an idiot. She was a bitch to her husband for years prior to him hiring the new girl and also mean to all of her children. She committed premediated first degree murder but was lucky somewhat to get second degree. If you have your way the streets would be filled with blood by divorced spouses killing each other. She had a house to live in a paid leased car and 16 thousand dollars a month. Much more than the Bitch deserved. Go get your head examined!
I definately think she had a phycotic break and was crazy when she did it, I think she did plan it though which is premeditated, but I do think she was crazy. I dont think she would hurt anyone else if she was let out. No one really knows how they would react given the same circumstances she had. Its too bad she didnt find a cute boyfriend at the time of it all maybe things would have been different. She wouldnt have had all that time to think about the mental abuse over and over and over till she ran herself nuts.
She had boyfriend at the time of their deaths....she had 650k home her ex brought her 2 cars and alimony of 16k a month and was working....now tell me after a 5 yrs divorce trial she got all that and still killed them both......let's not forget she drove her car into their home...

Her first baby slept in a drawer at a DORM. If it was t for her, he wouldn’t have had what he had. And after school, and then work, he just hung around with his good ol boy friends.

She has served her time already, how many of those parole people would have acted any different had they been gas lit for many years, emotionally abused for many years lied to cheated on, do they even know what happens to a person mind after going through all that emotional trauma? her husband was narcissist, he got off from controlling her, punishing her using her own children against her, turning them against her. The victims of narcissist are never believed, the narcissist it charming, knows how to manipulate people and make others believe that their partners are crazy Dan knew what he was doing and got off from doing it, he was a disgusting man. Did he deserve to die? How else was it going to end, this is what happens when a person sanity is pushed to the limit how on earth can people not understand this. In many ways what happened to Betty is worse than being hit on. When you have a blue eye a broken arm its easy to then understand self defense, but when a person is playing mind games, telling you are crazy, ugly, nothing you do is good enough, you are trying to fight for your family your kids for your sanity, then uses his power to control you punish you leaves you with nothing after you have sacrificed a lot. the I see it was it was her or him, he was driving her to such depression, that 1 or 2 things where bound to happen she was going to either kill her self or him. I know it may not sound like it was self defense, but believe me until you have been in a relationship like this you would not understand it, it really boils down to him/her or you. This is why gas lighting is so dangerous. Betty had no where to turn to. Some might say well she should have gotten help, where a Dr, no remember he used the law and it was on his side. No Dr would have been able to help her. The system let her down and is still letting her down. She has served her time, let her free.
they were both narcs with Betty having a bit of a sociopath thrown in for good measure - doing damage, then pointing the finger at others. she sounds like she was always a giant pill waay before Linda.
I agree with you 100 %. After my own experience - the narc is banking on you committing suicide . Narcs are very dangerous entities ...and death comes in the form of suicide , murder , murder - suicide , etc. It's really behooving to plan and make an exit .
LIZ D I am.They weren't worth her throwing her freedom away. She was so pretty and still young and could have started over and found another man and had a free life.
Betty can't be sorry. No one with a Beta cluster personality disorder will ever genuinely say, "I'm sorry," or "it was my fault." That's absolutely impossible for them, as impossible as it is for autoimmune diabetics to secrete pancreatic insulin. Ain't gonna happen. ah....poor poor Betty....
She didn’t want money or houses or anything but Dan she felt she put the work in, and it appeared she wanted to own him..sad, but my first husband left me and tree kids for another woman, I never wanted anything to do with him again, I got a job and did what I could,all my kids are college grads…he never paid one cent toward the children..ever…so Etsy has a huge problem..wasted her life for what? Diana.
Man, let her out!! She should have never been in jail to began with. She should have gotten the correct help in a mental health facility. This wrong and the system have definitely failed her since the divorce. That’s why she snapped!!! And is still out of it 30 years later. Just sad....
She deserves to be in prison for the remainder of her days. She's obviously a psycho and doesn't comprehend reality. She has a narcissistic and histrionic personality... a very sick woman. Even though her husband and Linda were the victims, and it's no excuse, he treated Betty like crap. She put his butt through schools while she worked like a dog so he could get his degrees and get a highly paid job. She took care of their children and he looked for every excuse not to be home with her and so he could play house with his barely legal assistant. Linda was throwing it in her face by sending her pamphlets on losing weight and getting rid of wrinkles. They could have gotten married on any day but they had to choose ten days after what would have been Betty and his anniversary. They were adding fuel to the fire. I'm not saying they were bad people but they were playing the game with her. But at the end, they didn't deserve that.
Stacy Stufflebean yup and that's the reason she didn't get parole. cause she sitting there talking about how they were good people. no they weren't! she's obviously not getting the help she needs because if thats what she feels after 25 years she hasn't learned anything.
For goodness sake she's hardly a notorious killer. She's a woman emotionally abused by a husband who had the upper hand in everything. Betty was never going to win let alone be set free to enjoy her life or her children. Narcissists do not allow that but they do poison the minds of everyone around them, especially those easy to manipulate such as children. Betty had zero chance. This lady is a threat to 2 people who are dead. Time to set her free.
all she's gotta do is show some authentic remorse (parole boards are big on that). she won't do it -not even fake it for the sake of spending her last years with her kids. she's still foaming at the mouth over Dan & wife so prison it is.
Yeah, the mistress was not some innocent little woman. The Noor Jasmine channel presents an excellent review of the Betty Broderick story. I thought that you might want to check it out.
"innocent" those two really were NOT. He used her for over 20 years, the best years of Betty's life, then suddenly she was too old too fat too unattractive for him, so he believed that he should kick her to the curb, and that was exactly what he did. Then with his new tarts, they taunted Betty emotionally. Those two had it coming.
I think she is safer in jail. She has got to know someone is going to go for her when she gets out. Now, she is sorry. She did not think about who would raise her kids if she went to jail. Too late for sorry's, Betty.
i disagree to the word used notorious criminal to mention her she is in fact a victim of deceit and betrayal . i wonder why the american courts does not take into count what made her do it . i never had a synpathy for her late ex . imagine a wonderful mother and wife who gave all her youth for the family was on a fine day betrayed by the man whom she considered to be a soulmate . leaving her for a younger women getting married with x category protection what a jerk the court should have a sympathy for betty and release her . she has served enough for the crime . if she is not released then i have ro say the US crime laws are baseless when coming to humanitarian aspects
That...Poor ...Woman...... I would have been dismissed as a Prospective Juror Very quickly, but not for the Reason some might believe: "If I could speak to him right now, I would say... "Dan Broderick, your wife went through Hell on Earth to put your Sorry *ss through not only Medical School, but also Law School. And you showed your 'Appreciation' by throwing her out like a bag of garbage because you let some tramp who wanted to attain Career Success by working on her back tear you away from the woman who loved you and gave you four children. "Dan Broderick, in my Opinion, our Alma Mater might be the only school in which the Code of Conduct still applies EVEN AFTER you get your Diploma. You disgraced yourself. You disgraced me. You disgraced tens of thousands of our Fellow Alumni. And you even disgraced Father Sorin. "Dan Broderick, you and that brazen hussy got EXACTLY what you deserved." God Bless Betty Broderick. I hope she is paroled someday...soon. She has MORE than paid what she allegedly owed. And as for the kids who spoke against her being released, "Way to stick up for the woman who brought you into the World, you Sorry Waste of Protoplasm. Too bad she didn't have you aborted."
It would be nice if this video actually says what the decision was.

She killed once...keep her ass locked up
Set her free.

So if she was to lie through her teeth and say how sorry she was for what she did, she might get parole??..Being 'sorry' changes what exactly?
Yes it was a terrible thing that she did, but I have to admit to having an awful lot of sympathy for her, having read this story in depth a few years ago.
Having helped her husband get to where he was, she was left a broken woman, something her ex-husband and his new wife seemed to relish.
..She's served her time.Thirty plus years is enough in this case.
Let her free.
annA48126 agreed
Nah brah
I totally agree with you! She should have been released years ago! She's not evil. It was a crime of passion! She had enough of the way they kept treating her x
The story of men or women leaving their partners for a younger person isn’t new. It’s painful, hurtful and heartbreaking but I believe a lot of people in this comment section are in denial. Her husband was 💯 wrong to have an affair with his secretary. Betty could have took everything in court , walked away and rebuilt a new life. She was obsessed with them and because she has a narcissistic personality ( her husband does too), she continued with the constant phone calls, stalking, driving her car into their house and eventually deciding that she wasn’t going to allow them to be happy (revenge). She killed 2 people not one so obviously her sentence would be longer plus the way she killed them and the fact she hasn’t shown remorse is why she’s still in prison. There’s no justification for murder in this case. It wasn’t self-defence, he wasn’t even in her life anymore, she dropped the children off to live with him thinking he would eventually return to her. If a man did this, nobody would be feeling the sympathy. She puts on a performance and has played a role as a sweet little woman. When she ripped the phone out of the wall and left two people to die, that’s not what sweet people do sorry.
@@mariancounsellor I'm not sure where you get the idea she tried to portray herself as a 'sweet little woman' Marian.? What she did portray herself as was a woman totally dedicated to to doing whatever it took, to do the best for her family..which (from memory,) included taking menial jobs,which enabled her husband to,..not ONCE, but TWICE, train first as a doctor, then as a lawyer.
As I stated, this is from memory.What I read some time ago went into far
more detail.The things her ex and his new wife did were nasty and hateful.
What she did was wrong, but I think she has done her time and not a threat to society. She is 72 now
wow you say she has done her time amazing theirs _ _ _ _ _ people in prison right now with bigger sentences then what she has for selling marijuana .
@@Mister-Reno when you don’t know what you’re talking about, it’s best to keep your mouth shut.
Yes
She was never a threat to the society, but only to the family, I think she will probably harass her kids if she gets out, I think she is still a danger.
and she will never make parole either thank god
She was so full of it at that parole board meeting. She went from hating these people, to saying it was all Dan’s fault. Then she comes to the parole board and says I took the lives of two wonderful people. BS Betty
at this point there is no need for remorse. she's done her time. its not like she will kill again or something. parole board is just being vindictive at this point.
Dan and Linda would disagree with you...remember them?
OakhillSailor, she took 2 lives. 2. She is EXACTLY where she belongs .The parole board is not being "vindictive"; they are doing the right thing. She put herself there.
She has done her time??? Really? That is absolutely ridiculous. She should not ever see the light of day. Just as her victims (murdered in cold blood) will never see it. How dare anyone say she should be living in our society. I , for one, would like to feel safe from nut jobs like her. And anyone who thinks she should be set free is a nut job too.
human being you don’t think that the way Betty treated her husband and family was emotionally abusive? You must have a very one sided definition of that term. Maybe you aren’t familiar with the history and backstory of this case? It doesn’t sound like you are.
If you have a point to make then make it. But don’t weaken yourself by calling me Dans sister, a narcissist, etc. It just sounds stupid. Also cruel and unsympathetic to two families who lost people they dearly loved.
Further more, I Never said it was ok to be emotionally abusive or to betray the ones you love. So don’t put words in my mouth and assume you know my personal ethics. But it is definitely Not ok to kill someone if you are emotionally abused or manipulated. Walk away instead. Anyone that would make that choice deserves to live with the consequences of their physically violent act. Which is very different than non violent acts. Why not just move on and find a happy life? She was always the victim according to her. And takes no accountability for her part. She could have made much better and more empowering choices for the sake of herself and her children. She had plenty of money and resources.... including the option of seeing a therapist. Now she gets to live the rest of her life living with consequences, rightfully so.
She needs to be let out IMMEDIATLY.This woman is not a criminal. She is a hero and a saint. At times, when she speaks, I am reminded of Hildegard.von Binge. We should be listening carefully to the words betty speaks. They have a resonance that will live
This woman is evil. She not only killed two people ,but she also destroyed her children’s lives and the lives of the family of Dan and Linda..Hope she will rot in jail.
Let Betty go,her husband was to put her in this situation................
She can come live next door to you
That's pretty weak! The mere fact that you believe this.....suggests you see yourself as powerless as a woman.
Oh please! He paid Betty a nice sum of money each month. It was not like he kept her in a cage! She should have moved on and started a new life. Blaming this on a murdered human being, is so pathetic.
HI BETTY!
maria margarita suarez my ex wife and her new husband put me through hell.
Plus she theatened to take my kids out of the country... Probably Mexico!!!
I could have hurt both of them.... But thank God I restrained myself.
Let her stay in jail.
She was just fine, up until Dan screwed her over
It was a crime of passion
Let Betty go..
passion are you high on fcing angel just that fried your mind its murder plain and simple no matter how or what fcing way it is its murder e.e
NO......a crime of passion and I assume you'd want to argue a forgivable crime......happens in the moment. That's not what happened here. She broke into the home, walked to the bedroom with a gun and then proceeded to shoot. That's not a crime of passion. That's COLD BLOODED INTENT. Betty Broderick is DAMNED LUCKY to have a shot at parole and I hope she stays locked up until she she can actually show some understanding and acceptance of how wrong what she did was. She isn't there yet.
Oh, it is a crime of passion? Well then, killing two is ok in that case. Really? She screwed herself over, because she pulled the trigger ... several times.
Committing murder because you've been rejected is not passion. It's called vengeance.
Gives her no reason to kill. She should have thought about her children. She was a nasty person when they were married

She is not a notorious woman, Betty is a good woman who was used and discarded like garbage, a woman who was pushed to the maximum limit!!!
uh... have you seen her stalking abilities? Most people go to therapy to get over being cheated on, not call a million times, threaten people and act like an absolute psychopath in front of their children... If any man did what she did leading up to the murders, would you feel the same? I think not... Unstable people who break in and shoot people to death for doing her wrong is not justifiable. It's narcissistic.
Real great lady and a fantastic mom, huh?
ruclips.net/video/hln563ksU00/видео.html
She’s notorious because it’s rare for a woman to do this even though cheating is not uncommon. If every woman who was cheated on acted like Betty, the prisons would be overflowing. She couldn’t allow him to move on and be happy and she was obsessed rather than moving on with her life. We all have choices and murdering two people under these circumstances does not make you a good woman in any stretch of the imagination.

Let a killer go? Please. Every interview I have seen, she blames the victims, not herself. And when she does shows remorse, it is SO fake, it hurts. She is a heartless killer, who killed the father of her 4 kids. Prison is where she belongs.
You are ridiculous. Shame on you or anyone who has the disrespect for those victims enough to say that.
J.V.R. I agree!
I think she should be paroled. She’s done 30 years. They say she is still angry so therefore not paroled..well she’s not a serial killer, she’s not going to hurt anyone else. So let the woman get paroled and get some help to get rid of all that anger… there’s no therapy in prison. She done her time. Yes what she did was wrong but she’s done her time. The two of her children that would want to spend her latter years should get their chance to do that. IMHO
Well said
FREE BETTY ! They GASLIGHTED BETTY . SHAME ON THEM , BOTH .🤬🤬🤬
For those of you who are wondering what the decision was. She was supposed to serve an x number of years in prison but was commuted to life in prison without possibility of parole due to the fact she showed no remorse over her actions apparently. Her ex husband was a jerk who kept putting her down telling her she was getting old and fat. Ultimately he had custody of the kids, his new wife on the other hand was also a horrible human being. She mailed her brochures and ads for wrinkle cream and weight loss ads just to taunt Betty. This torment has been going on for 5 years after the divorce. So after all these years, she snapped and pulled the trigger on them both. After she supported her husband, paying for his college tuition until he graduated, he was ungrateful in the end. After being tormented, I understand why she snapped but it wasn't right. If anything she was the real victim because of the putdowns and abuse she endured for so long.

The problem is that she doesn't really think she didn't anything wrong. Despite her crocodile tears. You need a bit more information
Sharon Drew, what she did was wrong, but that evil husband and Linda wasn't no better.. She Snapped, they drove her to that..
Murder is murder no matter how you define it. She walked in the house, middle of the night shot two people dead. Doesn't matter who did what to who. She killed two people. She deserves to be in jail and serve her time as any other human being that commits the same crime.

Having an affair and lying about it before admitting it and leaving is NOT justification for constant abuse and harassment, and it most definitely NOT justification for cold-blooded murder. Countless women have been in her shoes. Here is what they have done: Behaved with some grace, some dignity, refrain from engaging in abuse and harassment, not dump their children on their ex's doorstep the way that Betty did, hire good divorce attorneys, and then cooperate with the attorneys and not fire them willy-willy
(Betty refused to co-operate and fired her attorneys for no reason---well the reason was she wanted to appear the victim), and MOVE ON.

@Tom Anderson White males pfft lol, a Black would have been lynched.
@@boobyhill6921 You are Correct on that one! And Especially if the wife he'd killed happened to be *white*!!!😬
That’s not true. It depends on the circumstances and factors of the case. She killed 2 people and hasn’t shown remorse so why are they going to release her early? There are plenty of cases where women have been released early or given light sentences it all depends on the circumstances. In this case, she wasn’t deemed to be mentally ill, she sneaked onto their house whilst they were sleeping and she fired multiple shots into them. The aggravated nature of the case means until she demonstrates that she is unlikely to be a danger to others, they may never give her parole.
Betty made Dan what he was. He got great joy it seems from tournamenting the mother of his children And pitting their children against their mother. Betty had no right however to take Dan from their children. The new Trophy wife sent Betty pictures and wrote notes calling her old and sending her adds for wrinkle cream. Absolutely I believe betty had a breakdown after years of tournament! I don't believe she would hurt anyone else I wouldn't be afraid to have her for a neighbor. Free Betty Broderick!

@@jn8ive60 I know. I really don’t understand some of these comments. He got a restraining order because she was stalking and harassing both of them.
LET HER OUT!!! I don't agree with the murders, but I don't feel bad about Dan and Linda's murders either. I have much more compassion for Betty. She worked hard to put Dan through college, went without, and raised his children, and then when he was finally making a lot of money, he dumped her for a younger women...what a jerk. I think Betty was besides herself to get peoples attention to what she was going through. Even her "friends" left her. I have two friends who were rejected by their long time husbands, for younger women. Pains from the heart are worse than physical pains. I can't get Betty, and what she went through, out of my mind. Too many women today have no Christian morals and don't care if a man is married or not. Linda was a gold digger. Dan had a good job and money, while she didn't have an education or money. I NEVER like sluts or adulterers who break up families, be they men or women!!!
Exactly and well said. I even read that his mistress was fired from her job as an airline stewardess and then Dan hired her as a paralegal. Affairs make my blood boil. I hate it.

@@jn8ive60 Dan and Linda were the ones who decided to have the extra-marital affair. Of course it led to the breakup of Dan and Bettys marriage.

@@gloriamaryhaywood2217 No, I don't really think that the affair really led to the break up of the marriage. I don't think an affair can EVER lead to the break up of a marriage. Happily married men can and do have affairs, but if they are happily married, they never let the affair break up the marriage. Only an unhappily married man will leave his wife for the woman he's having the affair with. I think that if Dan hadn't had an affair with Linda, he would have had an affair with someone else, and that it was inevitable, whoever he had the affair with, that the marriage would end. Because in his case, any affair would have been a prelude to leaving an unhappy marriage.
She was the victim
Women always get harsher sentences, if the situation would it be a man that killed his ex wife and husband, the judge would it been soft on him and sentence 18 to 25 years and posibility for parole at 15 years.

Dan saw the signs early on, so he and Linda should have treaded very lightly going forward, but instead got what she felt they deserved! All in all, you don't mess with a woman and her children.
Betty did not want to lose the prestige of being married to Dan, she was vengeful. watch her trial for the real story...she just wouldn't let go . Snapped more like carefully planned. Stealing the house key, going in the dark, moving the telephone. She is right where she belongs

@@Kat-nd1ln 3/13/22: I did watch her trial and then some, and of course she didn’t want to lose the prestige. She worked damned hard and earned it. But she didn’t want to be made a fool of either after all that she sacrificed (no woman would) with Dan first having an affair with Linda, despite his denials and lies, before she became his wife. Betty hung in there with Dan during the lean years of their marriage helping to support his dream with raising their children, keeping house, working 2 and 3 jobs (and sometimes more) to support the family while he continued his education, on top of trying everything she could to be loving and attractive for Dan, (despite his constant verbal taunts about her looks), just so he could become the hot shot attorney he eventually became, only to be thrown away like yesterday’s garbage in the end by Dan after he achieved success. I don’t think so. Whether snapped or carefully planned, she was driven to the unfortunate act which caused their demise. If anything makes more sense besides “snapped” or “carefully planned”, I tend to think that Betty had temporary insanity when she went overboard. And because of that act, I feel that she had to do some time for her part in it, but not this long. Her buttons were pushed beyond the limits by Dan’s (and Linda’s) disrespectful and overall insensitive acts against her and unfortunately, they both went down side by side.

What she did was wrong, but are you serious, he would never have been the man he was with out her sacrifice, I believe she's suffered enough, he traded her in for a younger version of her, then gas lighted her making her feel crazy, And I do believe he just wanted her to roll over and suddenly live a life without him, while her paraded this poor young girl to all they events shed formerly been the one on his arm...let her go she a little old lady now...I truly detest the crime, but she went over the edge and did loose it.my opinion, not meaning any disrespect to the victims, or the family's of the victims.
Denise Stahl I've watched every murder documentary imaginable. I actually cried watching Betty today. A reaction I'm not familiar with. I felt she was let down by absolutely everyone around her.
She did absolutely everything for her family and he let her down so much. I wouldn't even like to think what I'd do if I was in her shoes..
what kind of girl--definitely not a woman, but a good subservient girl--decides to screw around with a married guy, with a family? i'm with betty. linda's a tramp, no matter how you look at it. those kids were hurt b/c linda spread eagle. betty was tortured into freaking out.
You are incorrect when you say "He would never have been the man he was without her sacrifice." It's time to lay this myth to rest. Dan Broderick's parents paid for his medical degree. He took out a loan for his law degree, which he later repaid. He paid for that himself. It's true that Betty had to endure 3-4 years of poverty while Dan obtained his law degree, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't have been become what he was if he hadn't married her. If he hadn't married her, he would have done exactly what he did when he did marry her. Get a loan, work odd jobs while obtaining his law degree, and then become a very successful malpractice attorney. Betty had nothing to do with him becoming successful. Again, she had to endure a few years of poverty while he worked at it, but that doesn't mean she contributed to his success.
Janice Robinson Were you a part of their marriage? The 3rd wheel? Menage a trois? Did they involve you in their affairs? Get a grip!
Betty worked to pay the bills while Dan received his education, did she not? I mean, you had your nose up both their assholes, right? You were the 3rd wheel in their relationship. Seems like you should know that! She supported them during those poverty ridden years! But you're saying she didn't contribute to his success? How is working to pay the bills and put food on the table while your spouse attends college not helping to contribute to their success? Betty also raised their kids and maintained their home. He wouldn't have achieved everything he achieved without Betty. Period. I would be willing to bet you're perpetually single. Failed relationship after relationship...right? To think that a man who went from rags to riches did so alone without the support and help of his wife is outrageous! If you were in a long standing marriage and someone told you that you helped in no way while your husband achieved great success and would have done it all without you, you'd be infuriated! That tells me either you've never been married or you have several failed attempts under your belt. No woman in a long standing marriage would have your ignorant opinion.
She needs to be released. She’s no danger to anyone else. Her lying, cheating, user, taunting POS husband? She should have been released 10 years ago.
I agree 💯
Free betty
Nope 😅😅
@@peepzsnap7356 she did her time , now let her go! Free betty
@Brian Monday lmao...tell that to the courts. You can say "free betty" until your lips fall off...she's NOT getting out. Also, seek out a psychiatrist. You are mentally unwell like Betty.
I just finished reading a pretty in depth story of the crime in Time-Life's Crimes of Passion book. Highly recommended.
A lot of people think that those two we're perfect people and she was the monster for killing her husband and his new wife but they were just as guilty if not more for murder they may not have killed her body but they killed her mind and soul and to me that is worse because now she has to suffer for the rest of her life I say free Betty give her a chance it was out if passion and a mental break down. And I'm not usually for a killer. But they had a big part in their own murder.
Betty was bullied by dan and linda,,bullying can push people over the edge,, I guess dan and linda learned a lesson in bullying the hard way
well personally that's a bunch of crap. we have laws for a reason. she stood trial and was found guilty by a jury of her peers. she got what she had coming. she shot two people in their sleep. she wasn't in danger. you people saying she had a right to do it scare the hell out of me.
I think the responses on this board exhibit an extreme cruelty among all too many Americans. The woman had a psychological breakdown and was not responsible for her actions. Dan and his little bitch drove her to it.
@@lydiabell6218 Maybe it's cruel of you to call a young woman who fell in love with a man who was bogged down in an unhappy marriage a "little bitch."
@@sunburypennsylvania8322 She was her own worst enemy. It's true that Dan did not want to pay Betty the amount of money that she felt she was entitled to. That's common in divorces. But he wouldn't have been able to dock her monthly support payments (I assume that's what you mean by "bullying") if she didn't constantly bombard his answering machine with foul, abusive messages. He wouldn't have been able to have her sent to a mental facility (I assume that's what you mean by "bullying") if she hadn't driven her car into his front door. He wouldn't have been able to have her arrested (I assume that's what you mean by "bullying") if she hadn't violated a restraining order by going to his property and then, in the presence of the police, refusing to leave. Linda never would have gone into Betty's home uninvited (I assume that's what you mean by "bullying") if Betty hadn't first opened the guest list to Linda's wedding uninvited and then stolen it. And finally, Dan wouldn't have done as well as he did in the divorce settlement if crazy Betty had only cooperated with her attorneys, retained her attorneys instead of firing them, and then actually had attorneys representing her instead of attempting to represent herself. If Betty had behaved with a modicum of pride, common sense, and decency, most of what you call Dan and Linda's "bullying" would never have occurred, and she would have come out of the divorce in a much better position financially than she did.
She deserves a CHANCE
If ever a case for murder and exoneration existed this is it!.
People who have never experienced it. Will NEVER understand it.
betty is still beautiful.
28 years later, people are still talking bout her- in the end she ended screwing over her kids and her self-
Christine Mills she planned to kill him and his wife!
Her 4 disgusting children turned on her. They followed the money.Shame shame on them. Dan and stinky Linda got just what they were asking for. Bravo Betty when asked about the whole situation, “Dan and Linda are dead and I’m still breathing” You gotta love Betty❤️
Betty is no threat to society! They should let her out! She never screwed over those spoiled children, Dan took Lee out of his will! Linda knew Dan was married, Betty snapped, end of story!! Let her out..
f9mike Her husband screwed her over, let her go she's suffered enough.
You are an idiot. She was a bitch to her husband for years prior to him hiring the new girl and also mean to all of her children. She committed premediated first degree murder but was lucky somewhat to get second degree. If you have your way the streets would be filled with blood by divorced spouses killing each other. She had a house to live in a paid leased car and 16 thousand dollars a month. Much more than the Bitch deserved. Go get your head examined!
I definately think she had a phycotic break and was crazy when she did it, I think she did plan it though which is premeditated, but I do think she was crazy. I dont think she would hurt anyone else if she was let out. No one really knows how they would react given the same circumstances she had. Its too bad she didnt find a cute boyfriend at the time of it all maybe things would have been different. She wouldnt have had all that time to think about the mental abuse over and over and over till she ran herself nuts.
So true.
She had boyfriend at the time of their deaths....she had 650k home her ex brought her 2 cars and alimony of 16k a month and was working....now tell me after a 5 yrs divorce trial she got all that and still killed them both......let's not forget she drove her car into their home...
she was bipolar
@@jnmcdaniel2011 Are you out of your head? HE bought her? Do you even know the whole story? HE didn’t BUY her anything! She worked her fucking ASS off, while raising 4 kids, basically alone, to put him through years and YEARS of school. Med and law school isn’t short, nor cheap. They were PARTNERS. Her first baby slept in a drawer at a DORM. If it was t for her, he wouldn’t have had what he had. And after school, and then work, he just hung around with his good ol boy friends. She might as well have been a single mother. Somebody’s gotta pay the bills. And it was her.
@@jnmcdaniel2011 if I work and take care of the kids so my husband can finish school so our family can have the best life, you better believe I would have probably reacted just like Betty! She gave him her youth and many years! Anyone would be upset
She has served her time already, how many of those parole people would have acted any different had they been gas lit for many years, emotionally abused for many years lied to cheated on, do they even know what happens to a person mind after going through all that emotional trauma? her husband was narcissist, he got off from controlling her, punishing her using her own children against her, turning them against her. The victims of narcissist are never believed, the narcissist it charming, knows how to manipulate people and make others believe that their partners are crazy Dan knew what he was doing and got off from doing it, he was a disgusting man. Did he deserve to die? How else was it going to end, this is what happens when a person sanity is pushed to the limit how on earth can people not understand this. In many ways what happened to Betty is worse than being hit on. When you have a blue eye a broken arm its easy to then understand self defense, but when a person is playing mind games, telling you are crazy, ugly, nothing you do is good enough, you are trying to fight for your family your kids for your sanity, then uses his power to control you punish you leaves you with nothing after you have sacrificed a lot. the I see it was it was her or him, he was driving her to such depression, that 1 or 2 things where bound to happen she was going to either kill her self or him. I know it may not sound like it was self defense, but believe me until you have been in a relationship like this you would not understand it, it really boils down to him/her or you. This is why gas lighting is so dangerous. Betty had no where to turn to. Some might say well she should have gotten help, where a Dr, no remember he used the law and it was on his side. No Dr would have been able to help her. The system let her down and is still letting her down. She has served her time, let her free.
they were both narcs with Betty having a bit of a sociopath thrown in for good measure - doing damage, then pointing the finger at others. she sounds like she was always a giant pill waay before Linda.
I agree
I agree with you 100 %. After my own experience - the narc is banking on you committing suicide . Narcs are very dangerous entities ...and death comes in the form of suicide , murder , murder - suicide , etc. It's really behooving to plan and make an exit .
Betty bang bang Broderick is still a dangerous hysterical woman. Please don't let her out of prison. She's not sorry she killed them
Betty is the victim. Yes Betty go free. BYE BYE Dan and Linda
Sure......shot dead while sleeping......they deserved that? Betty as judge, jury and executioner? You're "good" with that,huh? WTF!
LIZ D I am.They weren't worth her throwing her freedom away. She was so pretty and still young and could have started over and found another man and had a free life.
I’m so happy that Betty’s breathing and they are not
She still crossed the line either way (intensional or reckless) and she's only sorry for getting caught.
Betty can't be sorry. No one with a Beta cluster personality disorder will ever genuinely say, "I'm sorry," or "it was my fault." That's absolutely impossible for them, as impossible as it is for autoimmune diabetics to secrete pancreatic insulin. Ain't gonna happen. ah....poor poor Betty....
I hope after 3 years you’ve gotten common sense.
@@user-td8yj1rj7c maybe after 4 years they did ? 😆
@kinky a cluster B personality here and I can am positive we do feel sorry..too sorry .. sometimes
She didn’t want money or houses or anything but Dan she felt she put the work in, and it appeared she wanted to own him..sad, but my first husband left me and tree kids for another woman, I never wanted anything to do with him again, I got a job and did what I could,all my kids are college grads…he never paid one cent toward the children..ever…so Etsy has a huge problem..wasted her life for what? Diana.
She should be freed long timevago
Guns don’t go off on their own!!
Exactly
WHEN YOU'RE HUSBAND CHEATS ON YOU MAYBE IT WILL GO FIGURE 😁
Set Betty Broderick free.
Let her out already
I wish this video told us if she got parole or not. Smh!
Let betty free!
She is still in jail
Man, let her out!! She should have never been in jail to began with. She should have gotten the correct help in a mental health facility. This wrong and the system have definitely failed her since the divorce. That’s why she snapped!!! And is still out of it 30 years later. Just sad....
Amen
Keep her behind bars she needs to do her time.
I hope she never gets out!!!
I hope she don’t either!!!
She deserves to be in prison for the remainder of her days. She's obviously a psycho and doesn't comprehend reality. She has a narcissistic and histrionic personality... a very sick woman. Even though her husband and Linda were the victims, and it's no excuse, he treated Betty like crap. She put his butt through schools while she worked like a dog so he could get his degrees and get a highly paid job. She took care of their children and he looked for every excuse not to be home with her and so he could play house with his barely legal assistant. Linda was throwing it in her face by sending her pamphlets on losing weight and getting rid of wrinkles. They could have gotten married on any day but they had to choose ten days after what would have been Betty and his anniversary. They were adding fuel to the fire. I'm not saying they were bad people but they were playing the game with her. But at the end, they didn't deserve that.
Stacy Stufflebean yup and that's the reason she didn't get parole. cause she sitting there talking about how they were good people. no they weren't! she's obviously not getting the help she needs because if thats what she feels after 25 years she hasn't learned anything.
Stacy---Clearly she is still hysterical and delusional and dangerous.
She needs to be set free.
SET HER FREEEE!!!
Let Betty free now! She did her jail time enough!
Yes
I think it is time to set her free
For goodness sake she's hardly a notorious killer. She's a woman emotionally abused by a husband who had the upper hand in everything. Betty was never going to win let alone be set free to enjoy her life or her children. Narcissists do not allow that but they do poison the minds of everyone around them, especially those easy to manipulate such as children. Betty had zero chance.
This lady is a threat to 2 people who are dead. Time to set her free.
Yes
all she's gotta do is show some authentic remorse (parole boards are big on that). she won't do it -not even fake it for the sake of spending her last years with her kids. she's still foaming at the mouth over Dan & wife so prison it is.
One party would have remained alive hadn't they fiddled with a married man.
Yeah, the mistress was not some innocent little woman. The Noor Jasmine channel presents an excellent review of the Betty Broderick story. I thought that you might want to check it out.
I shall thank you!
She took the lives of two innocent people. She should never get out of prison.
"innocent" those two really were NOT. He used her for over 20 years, the best years of Betty's life, then suddenly she was too old too fat too unattractive for him, so he believed that he should kick her to the curb, and that was exactly what he did. Then with his new tarts, they taunted Betty emotionally. Those two had it coming.
Who is innocent ? the cheating husband or the home wrecker?
Xiaomin L Feador well said my friend 🙏🏽
Xiaomin you are insane.
Samira Matar BOTH were NOT innocent.
can anyone help me to contact betty
Dan's friends continue to keep her there
You lost me at “she apologized” and then I was forever missing when she stated “they were 2 beautiful people” 😂😂She said that to get out of prison
I think she is safer in jail. She has got to know someone is going to go for her when she gets out. Now, she is sorry. She did not think about who would raise her kids if she went to jail. Too late for sorry's, Betty.
Betty is not sorry for what she's done.
I would never say sorry after so many years. Those 2 had it coming.
Free Betty❤
I think you all need to let that poor woman out…. After 30years would have been long enough.
i disagree to the word used notorious criminal to mention her she is in fact a victim of deceit and betrayal . i wonder why the american courts does not take into count what made her do it . i never had a synpathy for her late ex . imagine a wonderful mother and wife who gave all her youth for the family was on a fine day betrayed by the man whom she considered to be a soulmate . leaving her for a younger women getting married with x category protection what a jerk the court should have a sympathy for betty and release her . she has served enough for the crime . if she is not released then i have ro say the US crime laws are baseless when coming to humanitarian aspects
she need to show remorse. she need to stay in prison for the rest of her life.
tough shit man OJ is free get the fc over it e.e
How the fuck is she getting bullied if he pays her $15,000 a month foh
Free Elizabeth(BETTY)Broadrick
That...Poor ...Woman......
I would have been dismissed as a Prospective Juror Very quickly, but not for the Reason some might believe:
"If I could speak to him right now, I would say...
"Dan Broderick, your wife went through Hell on Earth to put your Sorry *ss through not only Medical School, but also Law School. And you showed your 'Appreciation' by throwing her out like a bag of garbage because you let some tramp who wanted to attain Career Success by working on her back tear you away from the woman who loved you and gave you four children.
"Dan Broderick, in my Opinion, our Alma Mater might be the only school in which the Code of Conduct still applies EVEN AFTER you get your Diploma. You disgraced yourself. You disgraced me. You disgraced tens of thousands of our Fellow Alumni. And you even disgraced Father Sorin.
"Dan Broderick, you and that brazen hussy got EXACTLY what you deserved."
God Bless Betty Broderick. I hope she is paroled someday...soon. She has MORE than paid what she allegedly owed.
And as for the kids who spoke against her being released, "Way to stick up for the woman who brought you into the World, you Sorry Waste of Protoplasm. Too bad she didn't have you aborted."
@lucy bond I knew what you meant. Thank you for your kind missive :)
Yes free her now
Wow… 😂 tell us what you really think . 😂
all 4 of her children deserve medals of honor for surviving the over-the-top horror show their mother put on.
