This is exactly why its so important that women have a sense of self apart from their marriage and their family. She poured every ounce of her being into her marriage, and when that marriage ended in betrayal, she didnt know how to cope and lost her everloving mind.
Most of the time I’ve noticed that behind every “crazy” woman is a pos, gaslighting man. Still, using the kids and taking their father away from them forever is inexcusable.
She’s wrong for what she did but I can totally understand why she did what she did…. Unfortunately not everyone can get over betrayal of that scale, ever action has a reaction. Would have been good if she could overcome the loss of the life that she’d contributed to but Betty had another solution in mind
i agree that she was wrong for what she did - doesn't mean I understand it and i thank God I don't. I don't "totally understand" a sick woman who wasn't driven crazy by anybody except her own demons that told her murder was the solution.
I don’t know how you do this while having a tiny boss. I have 3 tiny bosses and can’t get shhiiit done 😭 Hats off to you mama! I love how big your personality is, it literally shines through when talking about the darkest of things. That’s such a beautiful thing!
I get it. I really get it. I feel for Betty. It's NOT excusable to murder anyone for hurting you. But I get losing your mind over your husband over ALL those years... Especially when you ARE a HUGE reason he's as successful as he was! Betty did that. I'm not one to say a man's actions are why a woman does crazy shit. Yet, in THIS very specific situation, Dan used his wife to build a career, then trades her in for a younger model, essentially leaving while he goes and lives it up. I buy temporary insanity. I think I'd go insane, too.
Actually, Brittany left out half of the story. She left out the part where nearly every one of Betty's claims were false. There was zero evidence that her husband did anything besides have the affair. She was extremely abusive to him and the children. Think Amber Heard, but worse.
@@VioletJoyI don’t believe they were completely innocent. The wedding being a few weeks of Betty and his wedding anniversary? That was not an accident.
@@kathleenholt5005 Betty always found a way to make it look like she was still a victim in Dan & Linda's 'evil plan' - they were newlyweds starting a new life, highly unlikely that BBroderick was on their minds.
@@haintedhouse2990Baloney Linda was a straight up whore! She got fired from being flight attendant for having sex with a passenger in the bathroom and had sex with her X before the wedding and after the wedding to Dan! She helped Betty’s underage daughter get an abortion without the parents knowing! She terrorized Betty with hang up calls, sending weight loss brochures to Betty’s home! Dan was a horrible drunk that lied and beat a dog! Both him and Linda were Trying to drive Betty to suicide and there was even evidence that Dan tried to hire a hit man to kill Betty but of course Dans buddy judge wouldn’t let it in! The way Dan and Linda slept around they surely would have spread disease and probably aids! Not to mention how many marriages and relationships they would have ruined! Betty basically was forced into self defense! They both got what they deserved! Those 2 aren’t even buried together bet you didn’t even know that and the reason is Linda’s gold digger family! Did you know Linda’s name at the office was Linda Vagina because she stunk so bad! These are all documented facts!
I don't get it. The idea that someone would kill another person out of a sense of deep betrayal seems like a myth to me. A response to betrayal might be feelings of rage. You might imagine attacking them in your mind. I think that's a way of trying to push them out of your mind. Obliterate them and the memory of them. But to actually plot out a murder? Anyone who does that knows what that makes them. It makes them the villain and their tormentor the victim. Even worse, it turns everyone who loved them into your victims. I think people who use this defense are lying.
Betty had every reason on earth to be furious with her husband, but she made it all worse especially for her kids. the murders were horrendous and I am just sorry that Betty couldn't find a way to move on.
I'm having a hard time feeling sorry for Dan and Linda because they seem to be awful people... I know it's not ok to kill them but I kinda don't feel much empathy for them 🙈 I wouldn't do it but I don't mind that she did 🤷♀️😬
The controversial murders of Dan and Linda Broderick by Dan's ex-wife Betty is a tale that never ceases to intrigue. 'Bratterstein' always brings a fresh perspective to such complex cases. The dynamics of relationships and the extremes they can reach are truly chilling. 🖤 #BettyBroderickSaga
He always knew he didn’t want to be with her. He strung her along. I feel bad for her. I do not condone violence because of a broken heart but there’s a reason we say don’t play with other people’s emotions and expect things to not go bad.
the Broderick's were in trouble from the beginning, a loveless marriage built on tradition, position and money. Betty never loved him anymore than he loved her. she was in love with the lifestyle not the man otherwise she wouldn't haven't killed him.
I've always been more of on Betty's "side". And after finding myself in a extremely close similar position to her ( 2 huge differences 1, I was married for 31 years and 2, he's alive and so is his mistress) I was utterly horrible devastated for a rather long time. But my life ( being free to do me, something I haven't been able to since 16 when I met my x husband he was 24) I get my 3 g-babies on the weekends ( my oldest 9 she's sleeping right next to me rn 🥰, even tho they have their own bedrooms at my house, she chooses to share my room.) I couldn't harm my kids or g-babies for anyone or anything. Being in prison would take me away from them and that's a form of harm to them and myself. Although I can understand the torment and the snap of some people. Stop and breathe think of those you love.
Good morning Bratt pack 😊 Super pumped for an extra vid from Britt just in time for me to get ready for work 🙌🏼 Editing to add- I know that what she did was wrong & murder is never ever the answer. But I do kinda feel for her cause she stuck by his side & supported him through years & years & years of school 🫠 All for him to turn around & start banging someone younger & more fit than her!?! She should’ve just taken him to the cleaners & lived happily ever after on the alimony he was paying her. Now she’s in prison & her kids are without parents. Horrible!
I read the book “Until the Twelfth of Never”, the complete Betty story. Betty was mentally unstable and needed help ASAP. But Dan was evil and I have read that the only surprise in this story is what took her so long. Dan knew she was unstable but chose to gaslight her and drive her mad. She committed murder but with extenuating circumstances.
Good Morning Brats! While Dan DID do some pretty shitty things to Betty, being a shitty person isn’t against the law, or a justified reason to unalive someone.
Cheating and murdering them is not justice. What she should have done was give herself time to heal move on and focus on her kids then maybe find another man.
I feel for Betty because I can relate on how she felt but can’t go killing people man… I’d have taken the house and alimony & been happy with that. And kept the kids full time. Let him have his life. My heart breaks for the kids 💔😞 Have a great weekend Britt-Bratt!! 😘
Being someone who was in an extremely abusive relationship for yrs I ended up on a ventilator for 3 months I can see someone snapping while still being under threat of that person…. Betty may have been a battered wife but was far out of that relationship and was no longer in any danger and she kept going back to taunt and harass them , using that as an excuse just makes it harder for those who are actually going through it currently.
One thing I notice about Betty throughout all the stuff I have read, is that she wanted to retreat from the world instead of go out and engage it. Moving on would have meant basically reaching out and engaging the wider world and accepting that she had to start making decisions for herself. Instead she retreated inside her own narrative and wouldn't let go even after she lost everything. She wanted Dan to take care of her for life, but she would not grow and mature beyond her old self.
Great work Britt! Totally off subject but had to comment… your precious kitty around 31:00 made me smile. Thank you for all your hard work. I love your content.
My mom’s divorce from my last stepdad was like this. It lasted 10 years and was so nasty. They had a child together. The whole thing scarred all of us kids and tore our family apart.
Hey brat pack. Hey Brittany. Love your channel and the way you tell the content of the cases. Your channel is the best true crime channel, here on TH-cam. Much love from Australia 🐨🇦🇺❤️
I think a lot was learned from this case at the very least. All around, they all could have and should have handled the break up better. They did not deserve to die, but divorce for a woman like Betty at this time in the very recent past, was so much more daunting than it is today. They treated her terribly, Dan especially. But no one involved handled any of this well. I feel terrible for all of them. I tried watching the show they did on this with Christian Slater. Could not finish it. That’s rare for me. They all deserved better than what happened to them.
If she was smart she would’ve used some of that money that she was well taken care of with to get a lawyer to sue him for emotional damages etc and got to keep the kids instead of making the wrong decision after wrong decision after wrong decision TWO WRONGS DONT MAKE A RIGHT so she belong where she is that’s just that, she had it made tho she had a house still and money incoming she was just jealous and angry she needed a therapist tbh to work through her grief but no she decided to be pre meditative and bring a gun she got excessively worse each time she basically harassed and or assaulted or caused damages so no if she were a man they would’ve hung her out to dry worse than she was so I believe 32 years is also a little low for double homicide
They need to free Betty! I remember her interview with Oprah. If any one of us were financially supporting a man through school TWICE and he did this to us, I can’t say what I would have done. Also, you have to think about Betty’s upbringing. Everything she had worked for was gone. Dan was not an Angel! Betty should have got the house and even MORE alimony. Dan was a control freak and decided what she would get. He sold the house to make Betty mad. Betty wouldn’t have gotten more in court because all the Judges knew Dan. The good old boy system. They were ALL wrong, nobody deserved to die but, Betty has done her time! Let her out. I feel bad for the kids though. ❤
You're willing to sign a petition without hearing all of the evidence? Brittany left out the other half of the story. Betty was the abuser and all of those claims were false. If you watch Dreading, you'll see what I mean. She's worse than Amber Heard.
For a half a million dollar house and 16k per month I’d of offered Linda a spot as a sister wife 😂😂😂 but seriously they all acted like asses and yes she deserves to be in prison.
When I was around 12, my mom remarried, and my stepdads mother , for Xmas, you would literally get a big box and a couple gift bags, and every single thing was Avon lol the big box… the big make up kit thing with a little bit of everything lol
I remember this case when it happened. I absolutely believe that Betty was driven to murder. I don't blame her one bit! That husband and his new wife shouldn't have been surprised that this happened.
I hope you keep that same energy when a man murder his wife for the same reasons. I know you won’t because in your mind women are always the victim no matter how guilty they are.
a decent settlement, beautiful ocean-front home and a new boyfriend so she chooses murder, prison, leaving her kids orphans and you don't blame her one bit - you sound as delusional as the big gal herself.
you can't drive somebody to kill, the capacity to murder is either in you or it's not. Betty is a home-spun psycho, batshit waay before Linda Kolkena showed up
If you get a moment and havent yet, watch the two part movie starring Meredith Baxter. She did an amazing job and when she filmed the first part she felt sorry for Betty but the second part was extremely harder for her and had a time filming it. I watched the dirty John series but i prefer the movies better. My mom and i would have it on in seperate rooms or we would let each other know it was on so we could watch. No matter where the movie was at we would just watch it. This is the 1st case that got me interested im true crime. Plus, its the psychology for me.
All of what happens sucks but she’s where she belongs. She stole her daughters key and let her self in the house and that’s shady as fuck if you ask me.
Dan was a disgusting man. Linda was a terrible woman. Did they deserve to die? No, but they didn’t need to do the things they did. Now, Betty. Betty should’ve gotten counseling for herself. I think if she would’ve went to counseling, there probably wouldn’t be all of this. She was focused on the wrong things. She should’ve focused on getting herself together with her kids. She could’ve shown her kids how to be the better person. She needs to be in jail. She needs to be punished in some way. And you, your eyes are BEAUTIFUL. You’re beautiful, the way you delivered this case is beautiful. Thank you!
This is why BOTH partners in a relationship need LIVES of their own & each should support each others PERSONAL growth. NOT morph into 1 unit that only as 1 dream for 1 person. It's weird, its icky. We are INDIVIDUALS & all need to remember to act like it. & not be that person that literally becomes their partners shadow. Meh. Icky.
Oh my gosh!! Lol I was raised with Avon!!!! 😂😂😂 Skin so soft is STILL the bomb! Love the channel and all your stories! I suggested a case from here in Houston, Tx. The AJ Armstrong case. This is his 3rd trip to court after the first 2 ended in hung juries!!
I’m a spiteful bitch but murder is never okay. Besides, there’s better ways to even the scale here, but ultimately I wish Betty could have reclaimed the self worth that Dan had eroded from her. Then she wouldn’t have felt the need to go to such an explosive route to close this loop. Zero sum game.
Honestly 32 years is too long but they should have deducted the years she wasted devoted and married to that POS that drove her to murder from her sentence. They knew exactly what they were doing and he thought she was too meek to fight back. Guess he shouldn't have underestimated her! And I genuinely feel the same if you swap the genders, you can only push someone so far before they snap back. This was the ultimate FAFO and unfortunately they did. I'm only sad for the kids though tbh.
you can't instill homicidal violence into someone (with the exception of self-defense) the capacity to murder is either in you or it's not. nobody drove BBroderick to snap - she had planned double homicide for 5 years, even took a refresher course in firearms training - she had plenty of chances to move forward with her life but she chose murder, prison and leaving her kids without parents. i don't feel bad for her at all.
Yes! She absolutely is 100% legally responsible for their murders. While I don’t agree with Dan’s and Linda’s behaviors, Betty had no right to do what she did. Marriages end all the time. People have affairs (NOT condoning that, it’s inexcusable), which often end marriages. She would not, or could not, let it go. Regardless, her behavior also inexcusable. No one deserves to die due to an affair or a marriage ending. No matter what you did or didn’t do for that spouse. I don’t feel bad for her at all… she made her choices. I feel bad for the kids.
Yes, she got a just sentence. There is sooooo. Cub more to this story. Dan was a belly crawling scum. But. Entry was no angel. She used her kids as emotional pawns to get them to hate their father, left horrific messages for the kids and was abusive to the, on an emotional level. Still not excusing the behavior of the father, again belly dragging scum, but she knew what she was doing when she pulled the trigger and then pulled the phone from the wall. It was a highly charged emotional act, but she was knew what she was doing was wrong from the moment she took the gun and drove to that home.
First I love your videos. I think she snapped. All those years of supporting him and his endeavors then to be treated like she was, would anger most people. The prime time movie on this showed Dan and Linda being cruel verbally. Did he just use her to get what he wanted then discard her when his goal was achieved?When a women is constantly thrown insults about her weight is degrading. I don’t think killing them was right, but I think she snapped. 39:48
i don't think she snapped. she had been planning to kill them for 5 years, told her friends she was gonna do it, took a refresher course in firearms training, purchased bullets that would do the most damage on impact, told her daughter "you know I had to do it, one of us had to die" she simply closed the book on her 5 year plan - no snapping. as far as being thrown insults Betty should've remembered addressing Dan as 'asshole' and 'faggot' in front of friends and co-workers years before Linda came around. Betty could really dish it out but always played the victim when it was time for paybacks
Of course she is where she needs to be. She won’t take responsibility for her actions. She killed 2 people! 2 people who were very deserving of some sort of punishment but murdered? No! I thought they were shitty parents as soon as you brought up the fact that they fought in front of the kids. I hate hearing about this kind of behavior!
I've known about this case probably since it first happened, I've seen the movies and read the books and I'm still so conflicted. Although it's absolutely not okay in any fashion to murder anyone. I do believe that Dan treated Betty atrociously and you know Linda worked for Dan so obviously she knew he was married and chose to enter into an affair with him anyway and also knowing there were children involved. I'm a big believer in a man having respect for the mother of his children and sadly it didn't seem like Dan had respect for Betty at all. By the same token Betty's behavior towards Dan wasn't acceptable at all and I don't think either one of them cares or took into consideration how all of the fighting was affecting their children. In the end I don't think Betty will ever get out of prison because she still refuses to admit that what she did was wrong which clearly it was because no matter how bad someone treats you you can't take their lives. This is me reminding you that I'd like to see you cover the case of Lindsay Buziak and also the case of Kay Parsons.
I do NOT condone what she did, not at all, but I do understand her. And yes, I do believe she´s legally responsible for her actions. I´ve watched the movie about this case, which is avaliable here on youtube. Great acting of all the actors btw. Have a great weekend favorite Brittney and fellow Brat-packers. Stay safe this weekend. See you all again monday.
How much more fun it would have been to sabotage them in a million tiny ways over her lifetime rather than sit in prison. There is so much you can do, hands off, to slowly ruin someone while acting sweet. A simple search turns up a wealth of creative, legal ideas to keep you happy and them miserable. I better go pray for forgiveness for my vindictive heart.
I'm not ok with what she did. That being said it's playing with fire to use a woman for everything she has her youth, her fertility and then so callously throw her away for a younger woman after she was your partner and helped build you up. Linda should have respected that he was married and that's all I'm going to say about her.
Betty pulled the trigger but Dan gave her the ammunition.
This is exactly why its so important that women have a sense of self apart from their marriage and their family. She poured every ounce of her being into her marriage, and when that marriage ended in betrayal, she didnt know how to cope and lost her everloving mind.

It's the psychology for me.

That book is very well known as being the most accurate one on the case. It never takes sides.. it’s extremely well researched and unbiased.
26:00 in and so far I’m still on Betty’s side…
Talking about Betty yes great video.
@ Bratterstein it warms my heart that you would Not harm your baby to harm you ex!
This is another reason why we shouldn’t raise our girls to “submit” to their husbands. Marriage a team effort.
She killed 2 people in cold blood as they lay in their bed.....she deserves to be where she is right now.
Ive heard of this story some time ago. What I remember most is run bambi run
I think the leniency on female murderers is because they're more rare, so we assume they must have a good reason
Watching in scotland .love your channel x
Btw Betty is a Scorpio and if anyone is familiar with a Scorpio that’s been betrayed the end results won’t be favorable…
Good morning! Great way to start the weekend ... true crime with Bratterstein!
13:11 girl the AVON CATALOGUE WAS peak. They actually make (or made) a dope washable waterproof mascara back in the day.
Yesssss! 🎉 I requested this a while ago! I always wondered what you thought of this case😅
Good Morning Brats! While Dan DID do some pretty shitty things to Betty, being a shitty person isn’t against the law, or a justified reason to unalive someone.
I love 2 a week videos ...thanks so much
Cheating and murdering them is not justice. What she should have done was give herself time to heal move on and focus on her kids then maybe find another man.
Agree
Omg Avon! You totally unlocked a core memory by talking about that! I did the same! Lol so feeling happy now
I feel for Betty because I can relate on how she felt but can’t go killing people man… I’d have taken the house and alimony & been happy with that. And kept the kids full time. Let him have his life. My heart breaks for the kids 💔😞 Have a great weekend Britt-Bratt!! 😘

Betty may have been a battered wife but was far out of that relationship and was no longer in any danger and she kept going back to taunt and harass them , using that as an excuse just makes it harder for those who are actually going through it currently.
But she wasn't. Brittany failed to mention that those were all false claims. She got this one WRONG.
She wound up with nothing because she threw away her attys like gum wrappers . She wouldn't listen and accept the fact that her marriage was over .
Good morning 🌞brat pack!😃

Thank You So Much
Got a nervewracking appointment today so this will be nice to keep my mind off things 🙂
Ah I remember this one, really strange! Great coverage x
Ive oftentimes have thought would this have happened to linda at some point? Dan and Linda really did a number on her.
Yesssssss so happy you did this one
I love heading to work on Monday and Friday mornings with a new case from you to listen to!! You're the best ❤️

For all the women saying "i dont blame her", you all need psychological help. This is no reason to kill someone. Be hurt and then move on ffs
I celebrated my 1 year old birthday a few days before you!!!! I was born November 1, 1988!

“If you guys feel bad for Betty you probably won’t any more”
Me: GET EM GIRL ! “Let it die, let it die , let it shrivel up and die”😂!
They need to free Betty! I remember her interview with Oprah. If any one of us were financially supporting a man through school TWICE and he did this to us, I can’t say what I would have done. Also, you have to think about Betty’s upbringing. Everything she had worked for was gone. Dan was not an Angel! Betty should have got the house and even MORE alimony. Dan was a control freak and decided what she would get. He sold the house to make Betty mad. Betty wouldn’t have gotten more in court because all the Judges knew Dan. The good old boy system. They were ALL wrong, nobody deserved to die but, Betty has done her time! Let her out. I feel bad for the kids though. ❤
I absolutely 100% agree!
I'd sign the petition!
You're willing to sign a petition without hearing all of the evidence? Brittany left out the other half of the story. Betty was the abuser and all of those claims were false. If you watch Dreading, you'll see what I mean. She's worse than Amber Heard.
I also agree
Sign me up! Let Betty free!!!
Yay I'm here early, in Australia I never get to see you this soon! I love you and the stories you tell, thank you!
there’s a show on netflix that depicts this pretty well it’s the second season of dirty john.
OMG I DID THE SAME THING WITH THE AVON BOOKS!😂❤#oneofus
For a half a million dollar house and 16k per month I’d of offered Linda a spot as a sister wife 😂😂😂 but seriously they all acted like asses and yes she deserves to be in prison.
Laurie Bembenek- Khara (care-a)
Happened here in WI in the late late 1900's. Aka 90's
Love your show❤
Yaaaay, I’m here so early 🎉🎉
When I was around 12, my mom remarried, and my stepdads mother , for Xmas, you would literally get a big box and a couple gift bags, and every single thing was Avon lol the big box… the big make up kit thing with a little bit of everything lol
I remember this case when it happened. I absolutely believe that Betty was driven to murder. I don't blame her one bit! That husband and his new wife shouldn't have been surprised that this happened.
She wasn't, though. Brittany left out half of the story. Besides the affair, none of those claims were true. She's crazy.
I hope you keep that same energy when a man murder his wife for the same reasons. I know you won’t because in your mind women are always the victim no matter how guilty they are.
@@rosica-e4q 100% accurate. Plus, for some reason, people assume her claims are factual. They were all false. She's worse than Amber Heard.
a decent settlement, beautiful ocean-front home and a new boyfriend so she chooses murder, prison, leaving her kids orphans and you don't blame her one bit - you sound as delusional as the big gal herself.
you can't drive somebody to kill, the capacity to murder is either in you or it's not. Betty is a home-spun psycho, batshit waay before Linda Kolkena showed up
BrattPack Gang 🤘🏻
You should do the case of Paige Johnson from Northern Kentucky
she did wrong and it's awful. buuuuuuttt...Dan treated Betty so badly.
If you get a moment and havent yet, watch the two part movie starring Meredith Baxter. She did an amazing job and when she filmed the first part she felt sorry for Betty but the second part was extremely harder for her and had a time filming it. I watched the dirty John series but i prefer the movies better. My mom and i would have it on in seperate rooms or we would let each other know it was on so we could watch. No matter where the movie was at we would just watch it. This is the 1st case that got me interested im true crime. Plus, its the psychology for me.
All of what happens sucks but she’s where she belongs. She stole her daughters key and let her self in the house and that’s shady as fuck if you ask me.
Hey you! Hope you and the family are good.
Be one of us!!!
thank you!! same to you
The Dirty John series dramatized this story
Dan was a disgusting man. Linda was a terrible woman. Did they deserve to die? No, but they didn’t need to do the things they did. Now, Betty. Betty should’ve gotten counseling for herself. I think if she would’ve went to counseling, there probably wouldn’t be all of this. She was focused on the wrong things. She should’ve focused on getting herself together with her kids. She could’ve shown her kids how to be the better person. She needs to be in jail. She needs to be punished in some way.
And you, your eyes are BEAUTIFUL. You’re beautiful, the way you delivered this case is beautiful. Thank you!
man, "she was focused on the wrong things" is so it!
and omg thank you!
BEST COMMENT ❤
Avon is still big in Scotland xx
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
Does she deserve to be where she is? Hell yes! You kill someone, pay the price!
They made a movie out of this story it’s called Scorned or something.
Sounds like Betty really let her intrusive thoughts win.
This is why BOTH partners in a relationship need LIVES of their own & each should support each others PERSONAL growth.
NOT morph into 1 unit that only as 1 dream for 1 person. It's weird, its icky. We are INDIVIDUALS & all need to remember to act like it. & not be that person that literally becomes their partners shadow. Meh. Icky.
Oh my gosh!! Lol I was raised with Avon!!!! 😂😂😂 Skin so soft is STILL the bomb! Love the channel and all your stories! I suggested a case from here in Houston, Tx. The AJ Armstrong case. This is his 3rd trip to court after the first 2 ended in hung juries!!
I’m a spiteful bitch but murder is never okay.
Besides, there’s better ways to even the scale here, but ultimately I wish Betty could have reclaimed the self worth that Dan had eroded from her. Then she wouldn’t have felt the need to go to such an explosive route to close this loop.
Zero sum game.
Also, this is major ‘fuck around and find out’ vibes.
Just do not fall for a married woman or man as it is not worth it.
I felt so bad for Betty:( she went thru so much til she snapped
I do believe her an what happened he was a pos who controlled her
Honestly 32 years is too long but they should have deducted the years she wasted devoted and married to that POS that drove her to murder from her sentence. They knew exactly what they were doing and he thought she was too meek to fight back. Guess he shouldn't have underestimated her! And I genuinely feel the same if you swap the genders, you can only push someone so far before they snap back. This was the ultimate FAFO and unfortunately they did. I'm only sad for the kids though tbh.
you can't instill homicidal violence into someone (with the exception of self-defense) the capacity to murder is either in you or it's not. nobody drove BBroderick to snap - she had planned double homicide for 5 years, even took a refresher course in firearms training - she had plenty of chances to move forward with her life but she chose murder, prison and leaving her kids without parents. i don't feel bad for her at all.
Betty just lost her mind ! Lol
November 4th? My birthday!
mine too!
Hey Brit! I love your videos & how you make it conversational!! Is there an email for case requests? Thank you💚💚💚
Leave it in the comments. It's probably better if you leave it within a couple hours of her posting, instead of like me, 2 days later
Yes! She absolutely is 100% legally responsible for their murders. While I don’t agree with Dan’s and Linda’s behaviors, Betty had no right to do what she did. Marriages end all the time. People have affairs (NOT condoning that, it’s inexcusable), which often end marriages. She would not, or could not, let it go. Regardless, her behavior also inexcusable. No one deserves to die due to an affair or a marriage ending. No matter what you did or didn’t do for that spouse. I don’t feel bad for her at all… she made her choices. I feel bad for the kids.
I can only wish to get that much money and a new home and not have to deal with my husbamds ass anymore
Yes, she got a just sentence. There is sooooo. Cub more to this story. Dan was a belly crawling scum. But. Entry was no angel. She used her kids as emotional pawns to get them to hate their father, left horrific messages for the kids and was abusive to the, on an emotional level. Still not excusing the behavior of the father, again belly dragging scum, but she knew what she was doing when she pulled the trigger and then pulled the phone from the wall. It was a highly charged emotional act, but she was knew what she was doing was wrong from the moment she took the gun and drove to that home.
I mean, Dan was a dick, Linda arguably was too. But in the immortal words of Jake Peralta, “Cool motive, still murder.”
First I love your videos.
I think she snapped. All those years of supporting him and his endeavors then to be treated like she was, would anger most people. The prime time movie on this showed Dan and Linda being cruel verbally. Did he just use her to get what he wanted then discard her when his goal was achieved?When a women is constantly thrown insults about her weight is degrading. I don’t think killing them was right, but I think she snapped. 39:48
i don't think she snapped. she had been planning to kill them for 5 years, told her friends she was gonna do it, took a refresher course in firearms training, purchased bullets that would do the most damage on impact, told her daughter "you know I had to do it, one of us had to die" she simply closed the book on her 5 year plan - no snapping. as far as being thrown insults Betty should've remembered addressing Dan as 'asshole' and 'faggot' in front of friends and co-workers years before Linda came around. Betty could really dish it out but always played the victim when it was time for paybacks
Technically it's her house too. California is a community property state. He bought it while they were married.
Of course she is where she needs to be. She won’t take responsibility for her actions. She killed 2 people! 2 people who were very deserving of some sort of punishment but murdered? No! I thought they were shitty parents as soon as you brought up the fact that they fought in front of the kids. I hate hearing about this kind of behavior!
Poor betty
Dan shouldn't have done what he did, but Betty shouldn't have done what she did, either. Two wrongs don't make a right.
I've known about this case probably since it first happened, I've seen the movies and read the books and I'm still so conflicted. Although it's absolutely not okay in any fashion to murder anyone. I do believe that Dan treated Betty atrociously and you know Linda worked for Dan so obviously she knew he was married and chose to enter into an affair with him anyway and also knowing there were children involved. I'm a big believer in a man having respect for the mother of his children and sadly it didn't seem like Dan had respect for Betty at all. By the same token Betty's behavior towards Dan wasn't acceptable at all and I don't think either one of them cares or took into consideration how all of the fighting was affecting their children. In the end I don't think Betty will ever get out of prison because she still refuses to admit that what she did was wrong which clearly it was because no matter how bad someone treats you you can't take their lives. This is me reminding you that I'd like to see you cover the case of Lindsay Buziak and also the case of Kay Parsons.
I have mixed feelings 😣
I do NOT condone what she did, not at all, but I do understand her. And yes, I do believe she´s legally responsible for her actions. I´ve watched the movie about this case, which is avaliable here on youtube. Great acting of all the actors btw. Have a great weekend favorite Brittney and fellow Brat-packers. Stay safe this weekend. See you all again monday.
How much more fun it would have been to sabotage them in a million tiny ways over her lifetime rather than sit in prison. There is so much you can do, hands off, to slowly ruin someone while acting sweet. A simple search turns up a wealth of creative, legal ideas to keep you happy and them miserable. I better go pray for forgiveness for my vindictive heart.
I'm not ok with what she did. That being said it's playing with fire to use a woman for everything she has her youth, her fertility and then so callously throw her away for a younger woman after she was your partner and helped build you up. Linda should have respected that he was married and that's all I'm going to say about her.
❤️🖤
While what happened to Betty is very sad, dirty even, it didn't give her the right to end lives. It's sad she still doesn't understand that.
