Betty Broderick, who killed her ex-husband Daniel Broderick III and his wife Linda Kolkena in their San Diego bedroom in 1989, died in a California prison at age 78. Convicted of second-degree murder in 1991, she received two consecutive 15‑to‑life terms plus firearm enhancements and spent decades imprisoned amid a bitter divorce and custody battle; parole was denied in 2010 and 2017, and she had recently been moved to a medical facility before her death.
