“Keeping her in prison isn’t really helping her.
“She’s not a danger to society – the only two people she was a danger to are dead.”
At the California Institute for Women, Betty is serving her sentence alongside notorious criminals such as murderer Theresa Knorr and Charles Manson “family” members Patricia Krenwinkel and Leslie Van Houten.
During her time in prison, Betty has given regular television and magazine interviews.
For example, she appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show twice, Hard Copy, 20/20, and Headliners and Legends.
Speaking to the LA Times in 1990, Betty said the killings were an act of ‘self-defence’.
She said: “I bought into the 1950s Leave It to Beaver marriage… and he stole my whole life.
“This was a desperate act of self-defence.”
