[Elyren @Elyren_n]

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? 👇

@thebuttinn Exactly,passed out and full throttle til impact just don’t go together

[Elyren @Elyren_n]

Her boyfriend had just died in the crash. She was worried about her Snapchat

July 2022,Ohio. 17-year-old Mackenzie Shirilla drove into a brick building at around 100 mph. Her boyfriend Dominic and his friend Davion were killed. She survived

Mackenzie said she passed out at the wheel

Police came to see her in the hospital. Her first question:
"Were they able to pull video off the building across the street?"

Then:
"Were people going through my Snapchats too? Like opening stuff? I see like two or three of them open"

When they asked about her purse,her mom clarified:
"It's Christian Dior. Not the Michael Kors"

She also wanted to know who'd pay the storage fees for the wrecked car

And about punishment:
"Can I just take my whole license away for like 10 years or something like that?"

The officer's answer:
"There were three people in the car. Only one is still around to tell us what happened"

Then investigators downloaded the car's black box She hadn't passed out. She floored the gas and steered straight into the wall

She was convicted of murder: 15 years to life

Accident,or did she do it on purpose? 👇

[Elyren @Elyren_n]

@SaraElisabeth02 Being worried about ur phone makes sense,being worried abt the camera across the street is a diff kind of worry

[Elyren @Elyren_n]

@theywerecones Most teens drive every day w/o this happening tho,this wasn’t a bad driving moment,the black box showed it was on purpose

[Elyren @Elyren_n]

@Sheberry5 If that’s true it fits everything else in the story,2 ppl gone and her focus is still on her image

[Elyren @Elyren_n]

@MerleRose12118 A lot of ppl feel that way,the “to life” part is what matters tho,nothing guarantees she walks out at 15

[Elyren @Elyren_n]

@JungleObserver One person did something terrible and ur answer is taking rights from half the planet? that’s not how any of this works

[Elyren @Elyren_n]

@HernandoRodriq3 Either way 2 ppl who had no say in it are gone,whatever she planned for herself,she took them w her

[Elyren @Elyren_n]

@Nscs65 That’s what the court decided too,hard to call it anything else when u steer straight into a wall at 100

[Elyren @Elyren_n]

@low_perplexity Full throttle and steering into a wall is two separate actions,passing out explains neither of them

[Elyren @Elyren_n]

@LynnHen84846933 More than u’d think,it’s not like a plane black box w audio,it just logs the car’s data but that was enough to show she had her foot on the gas

[Elyren @Elyren_n]

@x_xShin And that’s prob why she was so worried abt the video from across the street,she knew what it would show

[Elyren @Elyren_n]

@0_oRai That’s what got me too,ppl in real shock usually can’t even put sentences together,she was already thinking about evidence

[Elyren @Elyren_n]

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? 👇

[Elyren @Elyren_n]

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? 👇

[Elyren @Elyren_n]

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? 👇

[Elyren @Elyren_n]

@x_xShin True,and “more than once” is the part that kills any sudden passion argument for me

[Elyren @Elyren_n]

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? 👇

[Elyren @Elyren_n]

@0_oRai Agreed,whatever side u take on clara,those boys lost both parents in one night

[Elyren @Elyren_n]

@sterlingwallst “the oldest story in family law” is such a good way to put it,thousands of ppl went through the same thing and didn’t pick up a gun

[Elyren @Elyren_n]
