Wow....heres one source from '91, LA Times.

In 1984 and 1985, he talked to someone in his office about what it would cost to have her killed," Earley said, "what guarantees he would have that it would not get back to him and how it would be done. He told a number of people it wouldn't be over until one of them was gone."

The judge said that, since the defendant was unaware of the alleged murder-for-hire scheme until recently, it could not have been relevant to her state of mind at the time of the slayings.

Sorry you don't get that!?

"I don't care what list the gun was or wasn't on." Then why did you ask? That WAS the context of my response. Can't you keep up with this thread?

What is your point? That she was guilty of threats so shouldn't have been allowed to buy a gun?

Again, take it up with California. Gun control and gun laws are NOT the topic of this thread. That is a debate for another time and place.

Her narcissism and BPD prevent healing and remorse. Questionable in my mind how much help she can offer abuse victims.

Well, you aren't responsible for making that call -- prison officials and experts are.

Many people aren't so you're not alone.

It came out during the trial, but again, the evidence was not admitted.

There is MUCH more to this story that most people know; however, that doesn't stop them from proferring uninformed opinions and villifying those who hold a different opinion (who just MAY know more than they do). Usually those folks watched the (very biased) Lifetime movies, then consider themselves "experts."

I am not pointing a finger at you; I'm just venting.

Yes, the same officials and experts who denied Bettys parole.

At his funeral, a friend of the deceased -- a U.S. District Court Judge -- described Dan Broderick as "a man of unquestioned integrity."

Um, no. Since his death, more information on Dan Broderick has come out.

Article on Dan Broderick's financial shenanigans so he could screw over his ex-wife:

Was Dan Broderick Really a Model of Integrity?

Did you intentionally leave out her mental illness?

Know the difference between statements and questions.

Putting that into perspective:

1983: Dan hires Linda K. as his "personal assistant/paralegal/legal assistant"

1984-85: DTB shops around for a hit man to take out Betty

1985: DTB files for divorce

Where is the question here? (your prior post)

"I don't care what list the gun was or wasn't on. She's a women with multiple disorders threatening 2 lives on at least 4 different occasions."
