New mom, I knew Betty Broderick, I live in the same town and have talked to her several times....... I knew her children, they were lovely. There are a lot people here in La Jolla that still think she's a hero but we think she should have thought more about her children! NO one here liked her husband and the way he treated her.
I remember I think he told her once, she was old, fat and ugly! THIS IS VERBAL ABUSE......just as bad as physical abuse!
There was actually nothing about Betty you wouldn't like
Betty put her husband Dan through Law AND Medical School school) (a total jerk one the 'good old boys here) They had four children. She was a great mother! One of mine son's best friend's was dating her oldest daughter at the time.
If you know the case.........and the fighting that went on........Dan was living at the their house here and Betty was now in a rental............and the judge awarded her $16,000 a month for expenses.. Sure sounds like alot
:hand: but then again Dan was bringing in $300,000. a month from his lucrative law practice.
When she shot Dan and new wife, he was a multi, multi millionaire!
Her first murder trial ended in a hung jury. Supposedly the foreman of that jury said: "We just wonder why it took her so long"
Anyhow, think she got 2 counts of 2nd degree murder with 32 yrs. to life and I think she'll probably get a parole hearing in about 1911. For her children's sake, I hope she gets out!
xxxxoooo
