The three-parter marks the first time that Templet has spoken about his father\u2019s death in depth, and while there are a number of contributors in the docuseries, director Skye Borgman has explained why Anthony chose to take part.<\/p>\n
In an exclusive interview with RadioTimes.com<\/a>, Borgman said that \u201cit didn\u2019t take much convincing\u201d for Templet to be interviewed for the documentary, after Half Yard productions approached his lawyer Garrett Ambo.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was really I think Garrett wanting to give Anthony the opportunity to tell his story and to really practise verbalising it. I don\u2019t even mean telling his story on a global scale but just to be able to talk through what had happened to him.\u201d<\/p>\n She added: \u201cHe had been going to therapy and he had been talking about things, but to really kind of prepare him for what they thought would be a trial, and having him be around people because he hadn\u2019t been around that many people throughout his life.<\/p>\n \u201cTo be able to publicly tell his story, he wanted to prepare Anthony for it,\u201d she continued. \u201cAnthony thought it was an important story to tell and he wanted other people to know this story.\u00a0He wanted to take that chance to tell the world what had happened to him.\u201d<\/p> In June 2019, Anthony Templet was arrested after shooting his father Burt Templet in their Baton Rouge home and originally charged with second-degree murder.<\/p>\n However, Templet was eventually convicted of negligent homicide and sentenced to five years of supervised probation after his family alleged that Burt had abused Anthony for years, prevented him from going to school and prevented him from seeing his mother and sister from the age of five.<\/p>\n I Just Killed My Dad is available on Netflix.
