I'm recording it now.....................I'm sure it will be repeated.

Good ole' Betty and her prairie justice.................not condoning what she did.....................Her husband was horrible-any sane woman would have had a hard time dealing with what he did to her.

@Mz iMac Betty really is something. I guess she came up for parole last January and the parole hearing lasted 11hours! They denied Betty Parole as they felt she still had no remorse for the two murders. She can not apply for parole again now for 15 years when she will be 85.

I say throw away the key!

I've always been sympathetic towards her, she was wrong with what she did but her ex-husband treated her terribly and his wife(?) did too. I feel that she truly snapped and that she wasn't too strong to begin with.

Won't be watching. I remember the story. He told her not to get pregnant as he didn't want children. She knew this before they married. He had to get his schooling done and career started.

So, what did she do? She had a much unwanted child by the father. Then she had another. He couldn't stand her and her self serving ways.

There are many men that way - they don't want children. Many women who don't listen and learn then things happen. He wanted a divorce and a life away from her. She wanted what she wanted and then did what she did. It was convenient to play hurt, abused, and dumped. He was not the man for her from the get go.

I remember Meredith Baxter in the tv movie playing the role of Betty Broderick.

She portrayed the character as a jealous nut case.

But held my attention none the less.

i dont remember that he didnt want children.

there is an easy way for a MAN to avoid having children if he isnt ready for them......actually two very easy ways.

didnt they have FOUR children together?

It takes two to tango from what I remember... for a man to blame a woman for having children before the he was ready for a family? Seriously? Then HE better control himself.

Betty always struck me as a narcissist. She has no remorse and never cared how her actions afffected others, including her own children.

I really enjoy watching this series, "Murder Made Me Famous". Shortly after this show there was a repeat airing about Lorena Bobbitt on "Scandal Made Me Famous". That was good, too.

Reelz Channel seems to limit their commercials...another good thing about this channel.

I was working for a law firm in San Diego when those murders happened. Daniel was the President of the Bar Association at the time I believe and wow - when news broke, it was insane. Everyone knew Daniel. Everyone was shocked and saddened until news of everything that had happened came out. If anyone deserved it, it was Linda, who harassed Betty on a daily basis sending her ads for facelifts. She was a b---ch! Then, a male friend of mine actually videotaped the interview between Betty and Oprah at the prison. He kept it a secret from me and one weekend he asked me to dinner and said he had a present for me. I opened it up and it was a picture of Betty and Oprah he had taken at the filming. Not sure if I still have that photo. One weekend we drove by the Broderick house and couldn't believe none of the neighbors heard the shots - the houses were so close together. I felt bad for Betty. I think she just reached her breaking point.

I always wonderd how she got into the house, it must have been wired with alarms.

I totally agree. To this day she thinks she was justified to kill her husband and his girlfriend. She destroyed her children's lives and she went totally off the rails in her behavior. She was and is crazy.
