EXACTLY WHERE SHE NEEDS TO BE...

Wow, now there's some logical, rational thinking. I reiterate. If she's stupid enough to think that "pulling a trigger" is going to set her free? Then "SHE'S EXACTLY WHERE SHE NEEDS TO BE." Our prisons are full of idiots that thought "pulling a trigger" was the answer. Because it has done anything BUT set her free. However, at the end of the day, it really doesn't matter what YOU think. Or what I think. What matters, is that a jury of her peers decided she was a liar and a murderer and no longer deserves the luxury and liberty of being out here with the rest of us in a free society.

Being on a "power trip" isn't a capital crime. Murder is...

SO after thinking this out and re-reading publications about Betty and the court transcripts her side versus Dan's side which was limited by word of mouth from his children, family and restraining orders I have the conclusion....Betty Broderick married to Dan living the luxurious life, the big houses the hot shot attorney as a husband....she was demanding and got what she wanted...and was probably very selfish and self centered.....I'm sure Dan had his flaws and I'm sure his money made him a bit of a snob....who wouldn't be, he was the president of the San Diego bar association, and not a snob by choice but by nature, he was married to Betty...The Movie portrays him as this really great guy who did nothing wrong within his marriage to Betty, he was flawless as they portrayed him....I didn't know the man so I can't say......and because Betty was selfish and self centered she didn't care about Dan's feelings and he had enough of her dramtic crap and wham.....he pulled the plug and she got pissed.........she lashed out in revenge and selfishness and with each attempt she made to make his life worse he came back and every repercussion he handed out to her it increased her anger and jealousy and she eventually became bitter and destructive probably had a lot of psychological problems that took over her life, she became determined to let her friends and family and the whole community that knew them both to think he was this big bad wolf and she was innocent of wrong doing.....she says it wasn't revenge it was self defense all the blows she dealt him.....when she couldn't scream loud enough, when people gave up on her because of her obsession......she probably most likely knowingly knew that the only way to get people to pay attention to her was to kill Dan and Linda happened to be a threat as well!!! She deserves her time in prison, she learned that her money and fame didn't get her out of jail......She claims Dan abused her physically but never called the police as not to ruin his reputation.....and truthfully she loved his money more than him.......domestic violence would have meant possibility of being dis-barred from his legal practice and then.....NO INCOME.....NO MONEY....NO PAMPERED BETTY BRODERICK......She killed him out of selfishness, desperation, attention, revenge, and anger....and she was probably crazy. I still hope she gets out of prison, we know she lied to reporters and newpapers and the media and public......thats why women looked up to her then......there are people that believe in "An Eye For An Eye".....I am one of them......If Dan really treated Betty that bad she shouldn't have killed him, she should have taken her children moved far far away, married another rich man and/or made herself famous in a big city....She didn't think about this and here is what I would have done if I were Betty. If Dan divorced me I would have went to College and became an Attorney, If I wanted to be pathetic I would have rivaled against him and she would have made herself rich....people would have wanted her to be their attorney....she was a bitch......and a lot of people like Soap Opera's they would have loved to see Dan & Betty against each other as Attorneys....it would have been heated courtrooms and huge victories and VERY LARGE EGO's. She killed him for an obvious purpose......he is out of her life and people paid attention to her, they made a movie about her, she is referred to in publications, she was featured on Court TV......she got what she wanted except one thing.....for a jury to declare her innocent.

That's a very interesting take on a terribly unfortunate circumstance. I'll say only this... 1.) You're correct, neither Dan, or his new wife deserved to die for being human... 2.) If our society sought to justify the taking of another human life is every circumstance where a man or woman was guilty of vanity or perhaps a mid-life crisis, none of us would be safe... Think of the deceased in terms of someone YOU love and care for. Your mother? Father? Brother? Sister? A close friend perhaps? Any one you care for who committed the fatal error of falling out of love? I've read the books you refer to and seen the movie. If there is an absolute common denominator in all of these, it's that Betty is a few sandwiches shy of a picnic. To err is human - to murder, however, ends you up precisely where Betty is today... And like the millions of other felons in the jails and prisons thoughout our country that thought they too could do what they wished, the LAW be damned, Betty too is "exactly where she needs to be"...

Thanks for the post Heathers...!!

LOLOL... Yeah, another rocket scientist heard from...

It doesn't take "guts" to commit an act that betrays your family, the laws set forth by society, and ends you up in prison for 20 years. It takes stupidity. Or in her case, mental illness...

Charlie Manson maybe a freak job, but at least he's got flare and panache. Broderick is just an old, sad, ego-maniacal joke...

Fiatlux, please read the two accounts of the case. You seem to be basing your opinion on the film, which is purely the Broderick clan's version of events.

It's like the film 'Casualties of Love,' which made Joey Buttafuoco look like a saint, instead of the sleazeball he was in real life.

SoCalledFraudDetective is beyond hope. If he were a real detective he'd do his homework.


"Joey, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?"
