She put her husband through law school,raised his 4 kids and stood by him for 17 years
He became a $1M a year attorney and left her for a woman in her 20s
In the divorce,Betty Broderick got an ocean-view house and $16,000 a month. Most people would take it and move on
Instead,in 1989,she let herself into their San Diego mansion,walked into the bedroom and fired five shots Dan and his new wife Linda were both killed
Her own daughter testified against her
From prison,she was asked if she felt remorse. Her answer:
"I feel such terrible remorse for what we've all been through"
Not for killing two people. For what "we" went through
To the end, she saw herself as the victim:
"I never did anything to him to incur all that hate"
A wife pushed to the edge or a cold-blooded killer? 👇
He was 36 and married. She was 16. His wife paid the price
1992,Long Island. Auto mechanic Joey Buttafuoco started an affair with high schooler Amy Fisher
One day Amy came to his house,rang the doorbell,and shot his wife Mary Jo in the head
Mary Jo survived,but the bullet is still in her head,and half her face was left paralyzed
Amy served 7 years. Joey got a few months for statutory rape
And Mary Jo stayed with him
5 years later,Joey moved to Hollywood. He's taking acting classes and working the door at a club on Sunset Boulevard. In an interview,he's all smiles:
"If you're going to believe the image that the media created,I wouldn't like that guy either. But that's not me"
"Forgive? There's nothing to forgive. I'm not even concerned about that. I'm just looking for peace for my family"
"If you have an issue with something after 5 years,get on with your life"
About his wife: "She's my soulmate. She's really had some recovery"
Mary Jo finally divorced him 11 years after the shooting
Victim of the media,or the man who got his wife shot? 👇
She was 22. He was 15. She convinced a schoolboy to kill her husband
1990, New Hampshire. Pamela Smart worked at a high school and started an affair with a 15-year-old student,Billy Flynn
Divorce wasn't an option for her. She chose another way to get rid of her husband
Billy and his friends broke into the couple's home and shot 24-year-old Gregg Smart
She was caught when a friend of Billy's wore a wire,and Pamela talked about it all on tape
Pamela got life without parole. Billy walked free after 25 years
For over 30 years,Pamela insisted she was innocent Then she recorded this video:
"I found myself responsible for something I desperately didn't want to be responsible for. My husband's murder"
"I had deflected blame all the time. Almost as if it was a coping mechanism"
"I'm not a person that went through life hurting other people"
Now she's asking the state for clemency
Her story inspired the movie "To Die For" with Nicole Kidman
Genuine remorse,or one last shot at freedom? 👇
She was arrested for killing her ex. In her mugshot,she's smiling
Jodi Arias's ex-boyfriend Travis was found dead in his home. Stabbed 27 times and shot
They met in 2006 in Las Vegas. Travis brought her into his church and baptized her himself. They dated for 5 months,then broke up over a "breach of trust." But they kept secretly seeing each other
From jail, Jodi gave an interview. The reporter asked her directly: "Did you kill Travis Alexander?"
"Absolutely not. I had no part in it"
"His friends and family say you were obsessed with him"
"No. Not at all"
"Your palm print was found in blood on the wall"
"There is an explanation for that. It will be made known very soon"
Asked how she could stay so calm,she said:
"I would be shaking in my boots right now if I had to answer to God for such a heinous crime."
Investigators later recovered deleted photos from her camera. They showed Travis in the last minutes of his life
First,Jodi said she wasn't there. Then she said two masked intruders killed him. Then she admitted she did it,but claimed self-defense.
In 2013,she was sentenced to life in prison
How can someone look into a camera that calmly and lie? 👇
She hired a private investigator to catch her husband cheating. The investigator filmed her killing him
Clara Harris,a Texas dentist,already knew about the mistress. Her husband promised he would meet her for one last dinner to end it for good
Clara hired a PI to make sure he kept his word
The PI told her he was at a Hilton hotel with his mistress. The same hotel where they got married
Clara drove there,saw them together,got behind the wheel of her Mercedes and ran him over in the parking lot. More than once. The PI caught it all on camera
She was sentenced to 20 years. Her defense team deliberately looked for women jurors who could relate And women across America were saying: "I can see how that could happen"
In prison,a high-ranking guard took her somewhere off camera and told her:
"I understand why you did what you did,Congratulations."
Clara was stunned:
"I never asked to be this woman people thought I was"
Her twin boys were 4 when it happened. She missed almost their entire childhood
Now 65, she's free. She refused to go on camera: "If it were just me,I would. But I have my sons"
Revenge on a cheater or cold-blooded murder? 👇

Two sons shot their wealthy parents,then spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on Rolexes,cars and the high life
That was 1989, in Beverly Hills. 35 years later,Erik Menendez faced the parole board. His whole family supported his release. Freedom seemed close
After 10 hours,he was denied
The brothers say their father abused them for years,and their mother knew and stayed silent. Erik told the board that on that night he was sure: as long as his father was alive,it would never stop
Then he was asked why he killed his mother
"When mom told me she had known all of those years, it was the most devastating moment in my entire life. It changed everything."
The board said 18-year-old Erik could have run away or gone to the police. It also went through his prison record: a tax fraud scheme with a prison gang,a cell phone,tobacco
"Contrary to your supporters' beliefs,you have not been a model prisoner. Frankly,we find that a little disturbing"
Erik is now 54. He has to wait 3 more years for another chance
Victims who fought back,or killers who've lied for 35 years? 👇
Kirchhoff's,Ohm's and Faraday's laws turn an electric circuit into one equation
The circuit: battery V,resistor R,inductor L,capacitor C
Voltages around the loop:
V = R·I + Q/C + L·dI/dt
Current is the rate of change of charge:
I = dQ/dt
Substitute:
L·d²Q/dt² + R·dQ/dt + Q/C = V
A second-order equation with constant coefficients
It's inhomogeneous: the right side is V,not 0
The whole circuit in one line
Lothar Collatz may have come up with this problem in the 1930s
Almost 90 years later,nobody can solve it
The rules are simple enough for a kid:
Odd → ×3 + 1
Even → ÷2
7 → 22 → 11 → 34 → 17 → 52 → 26 → 13 → 40 → 20 → 10 → 5 → 16 → 8 → 4 → 2 → 1
The conjecture: every number ends up like this
Computers have checked every number up to 2⁶⁸
Almost 300 quintillion of them
All fell to 1
But that's not a proof
The Pólya conjecture stood from 1919
Its counterexample was found in 1958
It was around 10³⁶¹
That's 10³⁴⁰ times bigger than everything checked for Collatz
What if the Collatz counterexample is out there too?
Why have we spent 90 years trying to prove it,while almost nobody tries to break it?
He didn't build a lead list
He built a hunting system
💡 Here's what actually happened:
He used to open Google Maps manually
Search for businesses. Copy contacts
Eyeball the potential
3 hours of work. 20-30 leads
Then he gave Claude that same job
Permanently
⚡ What the system does while he sleeps:
Scrapes every night:
- Google Maps
- Gelbe Seiten
- Das Örtliche
- 11880
- Golocal
- Herold
Every local business
Every weakness signal
Every entry point
Then the pipeline scores them:
🔴 Hot - contact today
🟡 Warm - monitor
⚪ Cold - archive
🎯 By morning he doesn't research
He just decides who lives and who dies
The machine flies the plane
He takes the controls only when it matters
That's the difference between
using AI and giving AI a job:
One opens a chat when they need help
The other wakes up when the work is already done
Is your AI working while you sleep
or only when you ask it to?
