Summary

Last week Betty Broderick passed away in prison at the age of 78, spending 34 years of her life locked up after murdering her ex-husband Dan and his second wife.

It seemed fitting this week to reprise this episode from the archive to revisit the very trashy divorce of Dan and Betty Broderick, including her crime and punishment.
