Gossip: Betty Broderick, convicted in infamous killing of husband and his new young wife, dies at 78

She was a narcissist to the extreme. Her son called her cuckoo for coca puffs on the witness stand.

Murder is wrong. So is lieing, cheating, stealing and many other behaviors.

When Mangione hilled the insurance executives, health insurance executives were stunned that the public was not shocked.
When Broderick killed her prominent attorney ex-husband, many prominent attorneys were stunned that many women sympathized with her.

It took two trials to convict Broderick. Was she narcissistic? I don’t know.

I know she was not remorseful and would not lie and pretend remorse in order to be paroled

in a premeditated act.

This is what these idiots who supported Betty never could get it through their skulls. Plenty of people are cheated on, and they don't kill the person who cheats or the third party involved.

Betty did both. Worse still is she deprived those children of their dad, who understandably had custody of the four children.

In your post, you are making excuses for a MURDERER who should have ended up on death row.

I can't believe the people, mostly women, who defended this piece of human excrement after she shot dead two people in their sleep in a premeditated act.

People have been executed for far less than what Broderick did.

Glad she never gained freedom.
