Donna Adelson & Betty Broderick Parallels in Narcissistic Courtroom Theater

In the Trial of Donna Adelson, many courtroom observers can’t help but notice echoes of infamous cases from the past. One of the most striking comparisons? Betty Broderick, the once “perfect wife and mother” who shocked America in 1989 when she murdered her ex-husband and his new wife. Just like Donna Adelson, Betty positioned herself as the victim — rewriting the narrative to justify her actions and refusing to show remorse.

This segment from Hidden Killers Live with Tony Bruski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels takes viewers back to Betty Broderick’s testimony, dissecting her chilling cadence and matter-of-fact storytelling. The panel explores how Betty framed her double murder not as a crime but as an act of “self-preservation.” They note how narcissistic defendants often try to control perception — a trait now being scrutinized in Donna Adelson’s own demeanor in court.

The conversation also highlights the performative aspect of these trials: the calculated facial expressions, the selective memory lapses, and the unsettling calm in recounting horrific acts. Betty’s testimony, at times almost rehearsed, feels eerily familiar when placed alongside Donna’s tightly controlled courtroom posture.

Why does this matter? Because jurors don’t just weigh evidence — they watch behavior. The Adelson family matriarch’s strategy to present herself as the protector of her children is undermined by a long trail of wiretaps, coded conversations, and now, the shadow of cases like Betty Broderick’s. History shows that narcissists often overestimate their ability to manipulate a jury.

This true crime analysis doesn’t just revisit Betty Broderick — it uses her story as a psychological mirror to understand Donna Adelson, offering a deeper look into how narcissism and courtroom theatrics collide in high-stakes trials.
