Anthony Templet’s half-sister and mother aren’t the only people to have accused Burt of violence.The latest allegations could be a boon for Anthony’s legal case. According to WAFB 9, Burt’s second wife, Susan Templet, filed a protective order against Burt in January 2019. In the filing, she detailed some truly terrifying incidents, with the most recent example claiming that Burt threw a radio and space heater onto the ground in a fit of rage before punching her in the head. Susan Templet also claimed that the month prior, Burt punched her in the face and broke one of her teeth. When she went to wash the blood from her face, Burt reportedly issued numerous verbal threats, such as saying he would “cut her into little pieces.”
In addition to going to the police, Susan Templet also took to social media to broadcast the alleged abuse. It was just five months later when Anthony shot his father, claiming that Burt was acting in a similarly violent manner towards him.
