Some might remember early adaptations of the story such as 'A Woman Scorned: The Betty Broderick Story' and the most recent one being USA Network's 'Dirty John: The Betty Broderick Story'.

Plot
Betty Broderick is still in prison after having killed her ex-husband Daniel Broderick and his second wife, Linda Kolkena Broderick, on the early morning of November 5, 1989. Oxygen's 'Snapped' is set to re-tell the woes of how Betty ended up committing such a heinous double murder. The preview released by Oxygen reveals, "Taking a different perspective, the special aims to unravel the age-old question: Had Betty Broderick been plotting a murderous attack all along against a husband who took her for granted for years, left her for a younger woman, and put her through a vicious custody trial — or did she just snap?"
The official synopsis reads: "On Nov. 5, 1989, powerful San Diego attorney Daniel Broderick and his new bride, Linda Kolkena Broderick, are slain. Detectives try to track down Dan's ex-wife, Betty Broderick, and they unearth twisted tales of a woman scorned, a shattered family, and a violent double-murder. 'Snapped: Betty Broderick' takes a deep dive into the story that captivated a nation."
