"Betty Anne Waters" tells the true story of a working mom who puts herself through law school after her brother was wrongly convicted of murder.
The scenes shot here were made to look like the "Historic Suffolk County Courthouse." The Wayne County building has been given a makeover for the scenes, complete with a plaque saying the "courthouse" is dedicated in the memory of John Qunicy Adams.
A Boston police car and a satellite TV truck with a Boston's station's logo were also parked outside.
