I 1 0 WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 7. 1990 SD I.OS ANGELES TIMES BRODERICK: Daughter Lee Takes the Stand -This Time for Mother Broderick, said Tuesday that she still was frequently "upset and depressed." She "liked to be alone by herself, not with the family and friends," he said. Betty Broderick was decidedly upset immediately after shooting her ex-husband and his new wife, said Lee Broderick's boyfriend, Jason Prantil. Just after the shootings, Betty Broderick went to the apartment where Prantil and Lee Broderick lived, he said.

Betty Broderick "was talking very fast, and she wasn't making a lot of sense," Prantil said. "She was very incoherent." "Among her ramblings, she said she wanted to confront him about resolving the situation," he said. "She looked like she had been up for a couple days," he said. "She looked like she was sick. Like she was panic-stricken." Testimony in the case is scheduled to resume today, with defense lawyer Earley putting on more witnesses.

He said his case will conclude later this week. that beamed around her children," said Candace McCarty, the Bible study leader whose study group Betty Broderick sometimes attended beginning in 1984, the year after she suspected her husband had begun an affair with Kolkena. Before Betty and Daniel Broderick's marital troubles began, Betty Broderick was "outrageously funny," said Judith Backhaus, a longtime friend. But, as the troubles mounted, said Candace Westbrook, there were "drastic changes" in Betty Broderick. No longer was she an "up, happy, positive person." Last week, Betty Broderick testified she was so depressed by marital woes that she tried to kill herself in November, 1983, by slitting her wrists with a razor.

Dr. Ross Rudolph, a La Jolla plastic surgeon, said Tuesday that she did have two scars on her left wrist, each about half an inch long. She recovered from the suicide attempt. But Bradley Wright, whom Betty Broderick began dating after separating from Daniel they'd be able to see her more often," the boys would tell their mother, according to Lee Broderick. The two boys, who were "happy" around their mother, were "frightened and silent" around Daniel Broderick, said the family maid, Maria Montes, who stayed with Betty Broderick after she and her husband separated.

"He was crazy," she said. The boys "couldn't jump or play. He would just scream and say, 'Sit and they would have to sit down." After spending weekends with Betty Broderick, the boys resisted the return to their father, Montes said. "Several times," she said, the boys "hid in the bushes in the back yard so they wouldn't have to go to the father." Except when the boys were around, Betty Broderick "was always crying," Montes said through a Spanish language interpreter. "Always sad.

The only time she was happy was when the children were present." in the case disappeared before a late 1988 trial. Betty Broderick has contended that she never got a fair shake in the divorce because she was unable to read the file. The file resurfaced after the trial, the judges said. Joseph and Howatt said they had no idea what had happened to it. Lee Broderick, 19, Daniel and Betty Broderick's second child, said Tuesday that her father had his moods.

She said Daniel Broderick would "break things that would frustrate him," like the lawn mower, or kick the family's two dogs, because "he hated dogs." She said, "Nobody would want to disobey him or make him mad when he was home from work." Last week, Betty Broderick testified that Daniel Broderick hit her during their marriage and once gave her a black eye, though she could not remember when or where they where when he allegedly hit her in the eye. Two friends of hers Evangeline Burt and Phyllis Jardel both said Tuesday that they saw her with a black eye. "She didn't really accuse Dan," Jardel said. Lee Broderick said she never saw her father give her mother a black eye or beat her. Primarily, she said, he tried to avoid his ex-wife.

Daniel Broderick did not let Lee Broderick have a key to his house, she said, because she split time between his house and her mother's and he did not want Betty Broderick to obtain the key. Arriving at her father's house, "I'd knock on the door, and, if nobody was home, I'd have to go somewhere else," Lee Broderick said. She said she had school and drug troubles, and they had made her father so rnacr- that he had "disowned me," cut her out of his will. But she also said that he told her older sister, Kim, 20, that he intended to put her back in "once things were straightened out," though that never occurred. Lee Broderick said her father and his second wife would tell her two brothers the two youngest of Daniel and Betty Broderick's four children, who lived with their fatherto ask their mother "if she was crazy, and if she was, why didn't she go to the doctor?" "If she did go to see a doctor, Continued from Bl shot and killed him and his new wife on Nov.

5, 1989. Betty Broderick, who turns 43 today, is charged with two counts of murder in the deaths of her ex-husband and his wife. If convicted, she could be sentenced to life in prison without parole. Daniel Broderick, 44, was a prominent medical malpractice attorney and a former president of the San Diego County Bar Assn. Linda Kolkena Broderick, 28, was his office assistant.

Betty Broderick has pleaded innocent and has been held without bail at the Las Colinas Jail in Santee since she surrendered the day of the killings. Daniel and Betty Broderick separated in 1985, after 16 years of marriage. During their divorce, which was not final until 1989, she accused her husband of using his legal influence to cheat her out of her fair share of his seven -figure annual income. Anthony C. Joseph and William J.

two San Diego Superior Court judges who handled parts of the Broderick divorce, both testified Tuesday that the file Friends or Betty Broderick said the same thing.

Supervisor Brian Bilbray said the board insists that the drug-seizure money belongs to the county government not the Sheriffs Departmentand that the Board of Supervisors is responsible for those funds. "The county can be held liable, and so we have the right to know what's going on with those funds," Bilbray said. Duffy "wants to control that money but avoid the liability," he said. What he's done is an inappropriate use of funds by any county employee. He wants to be exempt from the local review process." Duffy said Monday he had consulted the U.S.

attorney's office, U.S. Justice Department, his own private attorney and sheriffs in other counties before opening the account sometime after June 30, when supervisors prohibited him from spending the money without their approval. The supervisors' move was prompted by Duffy's request in May to spend $450,000 for computers. Board members, led by Supervisor Susan Golding, insisted the money be used to improve security at local jails, where there was a rash of escapes this spring.

Crystal Gallery never said it was in retaliation ror his role in investigating her husband, who in September was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison for his role in a money-laundering scheme. Golding denied that contention Tuesday, calling it ludicrous and unfounded.

Golding acknowledged that she originated the move to spend the money to improve jail security measures rather than comply with Duffy's request to buy laptop computers. But she and other supervisors said the board's move to control the drug funds was by consensus, and that Golding was not the driving force behind the measure. Dist. Atty. Edwin Miller said Friday that he will not initiate a criminal investigation of Duffy for creating the secret account.

Duffy also used nearly $70,000 in drug-seizure funds to pay his attorney in a civil lawsuit filed against him by six of his deputies. The county has asked that he return those funds as well.
