TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Based on the true story of Francine Hughes, who was accused of murdering her husband on March 9, 1977 in Dansville, Michigan. She was found not guilty by reason of temporary insanity, and her case created a legal precedent for how domestic violence cases were to be handled in the future.

When the camera pans the jury that found Francine Hughes not guilty, it correctly shows it consisted of 10 women and two men.

Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, member of R&B group TLC watched this movie as a child with her sister. She was motivated to set her abusive father on fire in retaliation for abusing her mother on a daily basis as child. In the height of her fame, Lisa made national news for burning her boyfriend NFL star Andre Rison's house after setting stuffed teddy bears on fire in a bathtub.

The role of Francine was originally offered to Cheryl Ladd, but she declined the part.

Francine Hughes, born Francine Moran on 17 August 1947, in Stockbridge, Michigan, died 22 March 2017 in Sheffield, Alabama. She was known as Francine Hughes Wilson, having wed Robert Wilson in 1980. He died in 2015.
