Broderick Moved to Frontera Prison
Former La Jolla socialite Elisabeth Anne (Betty) Broderick, convicted in December of two counts of second-degree murder, was moved from a county jail facility here Wednesday to begin serving a prison sentence of 32 years to life.
For the next four to six weeks, Broderick will be housed in the California Institution for Women in Frontera, 45 miles east of Los Angeles. She could remain in Frontera or be transferred to Madera or Stockton, a spokesman for the prison said Wednesday.
Broderick, 44, had been in the Las Colinas Women’s Detention Facility here since Nov. 5, 1989, after she killed her ex-husband and his second wife in their bedroom with five shots from a .38-caliber revolver.
