Where is Betty Broderick now?
In November 1985, Betty killed her ex-husband and his new wife while they slept in bed. Two years later in 1991, Betty, now 72 years old, was convicted for two counts of second degree murder and was sentenced to 32 years in prison, where she remains to this day. Her request for parole was denied in November 2011 and January 2017, and is not eligible again until January 2032. Betty and Dan had five children together, Kim, Lee, Daniel and Rhett, but sadly one of their children died shortly after birth.
