Elisabeth "Betty" Broderick, the ex-wife of prominent San Diego attorney Daniel T. Broderrick III, has died at a hospital after being transferred from a state prison in San Bernardino to Chino Valley Medical Center. She was serving a 32-year-to-life prison sentence for the 1989 killing of her former husband and his wife, Linda. The crime shocked the San Diego legal community, where Dan BroDerick had served as president of the local bar association. Betty was convicted of entering the Hillcrest home Dan and Linda Kolkenabroderick shared and shooting both victims to death, seemingly while they slept. The case was later fictionalized in a series of true-crime books and movies.
