Betty Broderick

Rare card · No. 25922

Elisabeth Anne "Betty" Broderick (née Bisceglia; November 7, 1947 – May 8, 2026) was an American woman who murdered her ex-husband, Dan Broderick and his succeeding wife, Linda, on November 5, 1989. The motive for the murders was revenge after Daniel had, Betty claimed, cheated on her during their marriage, and then divorced her. Her first trial ended with a hung jury, and at a second trial that began on December 11, 1991, she was convicted of two counts of second-degree murder and sentenced to 32 years to life in prison. The case received extensive media attention. Several books were written on the Broderick case and a television film was broadcast in two parts. In 2020, an eight-episode miniseries was produced and shown about Broderick.
