If I remember, she put him through not only law school but medical school, worked multiple jobs and had three kids. He became a high profile lawyer making big bucks. He met a younger woman and wanted out of his marriage, then put the financial screws to Betty. So everything she sacrificed and worked for was gone. He turned the kids against her, kept the mansion and the wealth.

Not saying he deserved to die, but he destroyed her and I can see the reason she went off. He could have shown her respect and dignity, instead he had to have it all. The death penalty? She got it, but didn’t die.

Yep, that is pretty much what happened. He knew she was a frazzled mess and he kept turning the screws.

It is a terrible story.

Dan Broderick was a pos lawyer who made it on his wife's back and then dumped her.

She went full bore lost her mind crazy.

She shot Dan and his whore/ homewrecker new wife, early morning after breaking into his .

She Said " I just wanted to talk to him, make him listen " he moved and she shot them both with a .357.

Dan was a big time lawyer and used his friends and knowledge to screw her over as much as possible.

she found it hard to lawyer up because of this and her personality was not nice.

see, '" A woman scorned ". Worth the watch.

took 2 trials,first one was a hung jury.

Sounds right from what I recall. I’d add that all the lawyers in the area treated her like she was radioactive and she felt the judge wasn’t being impartial, either. She was definitely a tormented soul and I really felt bad for her. I hesitate to say anything about the kids because they were partly brainwashed/bought by their Dad and partly tormented by their Mom’s suffering. Tough position for kids.

Another good divorce movie is The War of the Roses (1989) "When I watch you eat. When I see you asleep. When I look at you lately... I just want to smash your face in"

Re: Post 9 Rewritten to show the double standard towards woman and treatment for their behavior, including crimes.
