I am watching Family Sins for the first time in a long time. I thought I would share some highlights from the parts in the movie.
True: They did a good job of recreating the facts in the movie. In fact the whole scene at the house where the neighbors were outside really happened. Randy Burt has some footage of that scene.
I remember talking to a family member who told me that people are still afraid of the Frances Burt Family. She is still very influential where she lives. There are people til this day who refuse to speak out against them.
The part in the movie where they show the apartment being destroyed and then later there was a fire....well, that really happened according to a source.. I can't go into too much detail, but the Black man depicted in the movie was murdered in real life. They were some questions about whether or not this was ordered by the family. They were never tried for his murder. I don't know the real race of the real man. I will see if I can find out.
Amongst some of the other crimes Frances committed was evicting people out of their apartments without true cause. She also had important people fired from their jobs. One email I was reading stated that she was as mean as a snake in real life. They were a very intimidating family. Since she has been released they say she is still running things.
You wouldn't believe the emails I get about this case. People do not want to speak out about the case. The only one brave enough is Robert Burt.
