1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: Hi guys, Nancy Grace here we at Crime Stories are 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: so thrilled to partner with USA Network and the brand 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: new season of Dirty John The Betty Broderick Story. This 4 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: series is based on a true crime that becomes a 5 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: national obsession. I remember the real live saga of Betty 6 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: and Dan Broderick so well, and it is a shocker. 7 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: You know, when you say till death do us part? 8 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: I don't think that included Betty Broderick, and I remember 9 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: everyone was on pins and needles as the investigation and 10 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: then the trial unfolded. You know. On the outside, Betty 11 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: Broderick and her husband, Dan Broderick were like the perfect couple. 12 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: Betty had worked many, many jobs, and she was raising 13 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: their children and supporting Dan Broderick all the way through 14 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: law school. And as I recall, Dan Broderick was not 15 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: only a lawyer, but she helped put him through medical 16 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: school as well, which made him the perfect lawyer for 17 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: medical malpractice cases, which means juching money, money money. Well, 18 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: he graduated, he got an awesome job. They moved to California. Seemingly, 19 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: as soon as they moved to California, everything started going sideways. 20 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: Dan Broderick hired a former airline flight attendant to be 21 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: his legal assistant. I'm not questioning her qualifications because she 22 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 1: apparently did a pretty good job. But Betty Broderick almost 23 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: immediately thought that Dan was having an affair. Well, she 24 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: was right, don't ask the question you don't want to 25 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: hear the answer to and he moved out of the house. Well, 26 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: they had a straight for divorce, one of the most 27 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: infamous divorce cases of all time, and that was the 28 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: word on the street before it ended with Dan and 29 00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: brand new wife dead, not just dead, but shot dead 30 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: in their bed. There were so many twists and turns 31 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: as the real life events unfolded, and based on this 32 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,839 Speaker 1: shocking true crime, our partners at USA Network have adapted 33 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: the Betty Broderick case into a TV series USA Networks 34 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: Dirty John.

All the 38 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: turmoil that arises from a twist of relationship, a love triangle, 39 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: bitter jealousy, and shocking events that seemingly led Betty Broderick 40 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 1: to the breaking point of murder, and of course they've 41 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: got to have awesome stars Amanda Pete as Betty Broderick 42 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: and Golden Globe winner Christian Slater as the husband Dan Broderick. 43 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: Must watch for any true crime fan.
