Timeline

1949

Candace Lynn Montgomery (née Wheeler; born November 15, 1949) is an American woman who was accused of murdering her lover's wife, Betty Gore.

1977

They moved to Collin County, Texas, in 1977, where they regularly attended the Methodist Church of Lucas.

Montgomery became close friends with Betty Gore, a middle school teacher, after meeting her at a church service.

Gore lived nearby with her two children and her husband, Allan, with whom Montgomery engaged in an extramarital affair.

On the day of Gore's killing, Allan Gore was out of town.

When he was unable to reach his wife on the telephone, he requested that their neighbors go to investigate.

After forcing their way into the family residence, they discovered Gore's body.

Her daughter, Bethany, who had been sleeping in her crib in another room at the time of the incident, was awake, crying and covered in her own feces after being left for 13 hours unattended.

The crime was investigated by Steve Deffibaugh with the Collin County Sheriff’s Department.

Candy Montgomery was represented by civil law attorney Don Crowder and defense attorney Robert Udashen.

The trial, over which District Judge Tom Ryan was appointed to preside, was held in McKinney, Texas, and lasted just eight days.

Montgomery pleaded self-defense, alleging that she had defended herself after being attacked by Gore following a confrontation about Montgomery's affair with her husband, Allan.

She stated that she was compelled to use an axe after Gore attempted to strike her moments before with the same weapon.

Montgomery underwent a polygraph test prior to the trial, which indicated that she was being truthful.

District attorney Tom O'Connell argued that Montgomery could have fled the scene instead of attacking Gore.

He also argued that attacking 41 times was disproportionate.

1980

The killing took place in Wylie, Texas, on June 13, 1980.

During the assault, Gore was struck 41 times with a wood splitting axe.

Montgomery pleaded not guilty to charges of murder on the basis of self-defense, alleging that Gore confronted her about an affair she had with Gore's husband and attacked her with the axe.

She was acquitted.

Montgomery, who was 30 years old at the time of the incident, was married to Pat Montgomery, an electrical engineer.

The couple had two children—a daughter and son.

Montgomery was subsequently found not guilty on October 30, 1980, by a jury consisting of nine women and three men.

The verdict received a great deal of criticism from the community.

Crowds chanted, "Murderer! Murderer!"

as Montgomery exited the courthouse following her acquittal.

The victim's father, Bob Pomeroy, said: "As far as I'm concerned, justice will be served. She has to live with it ... I wouldn't say I was happy with the verdict. We don't know what happened and we never will know what happened."

A book examining the case and events following the trial, titled Evidence of Love: A True Story of Passion and Death in the Suburbs, was written by Dallas-based journalists John Bloom and Jim Atkinson.

1984

It was released in January 1984.

1990

The tv film A Killing in a Small Town is based on the case and was released on CBS in 1990.
