CA v. BRODERICK (1991)

Elisabeth “Betty” Broderick is being retried for the shooting death of her ex-husband and his new wife, Dan Broderick and Linda Kolkena Broderick. Prosecutors claim an angry and bitter Betty killed the newlyweds in a jealous rage after she and Dan’s very public and brutal divorce, in which he reportedly tried to leave her with nothing. Betty’s first trial in 1990 ended in a mistrial.
