4.0 out of 5 stars Straightforward Reporting Characterizes Broderick Story, August 16, 2000

By

This review is from: American Justice:Woman Scorned [VHS] (VHS Tape)

As part of journalist Bill Curtis' "American Justice" series, this installment on Betty Broderick and her murder of her ex-husband and his wife is another example of balanced reporting. The Broderick story became rather a cause celebre in the 1980's for feminists and other supporters of the middle-aged Broderick who was handily dumped by her successful husband for a younger woman. The viewer of this report does tend to sympathize with Broderick until nuances of her character appear during pre-trial investigations. This woman appears to have had one massive personality disorder. The best part of the video is the character study of Betty Broderick. It prompts one to want to go out and learn more about the case and the woman.
