She had all the motive in the world. The way she lied and covered up afterwards indicated she is a dishonest sociopath by nature. Perhaps most troubling of all is the fact that Texas let someone found to be criminally insane just walk free.
No hospitalization, no meds, no psychiatric evaluation as to how safe this woman is to be in society? Another gruesome murder? Of coarse not, because it was all fabricated nonsense. I hope this manipulative murderer rots in hell. That is where she belongs. As for the jurors who decided not to hold her accountable, perhaps we should be giving potential jurors IQ tests, because the rationale of this jury defies logic, and enters the realm of sheer stupidity.
Betty went at Candy with an axe. But Candy got the axe and turned it on Betty. You evidently believe that 41 blows makes it not self-defense. Not so. As for Candy having a motive, nonsense.
Candy did not want Allan Gore at the time that Betty attacked her, and, in fact, had never wanted him in the sense of wanting to marry him. She had never wanted to marry him. She proposed and indulged in the affair as a way to add some excitement to her life.
So she tried to cover it up. She panicked, and probably figured that people would automatically be against her because of the affair. A person who kills another person with an axe for no reason whatsoever may well be criminally insane. A person who kills another person with an axe because the other person was trying to kill him or her with an axe is engaging in self-defense, and acting in a perfectly sane, rational manner.
The latter, not the former, describes Candy Montgomery. I agree with that. The way this sentence reads is someone wielded the ax 41 times, when it was really one incident in which the victim was hit 41 times. Fight or flight response. Do any of us know what we would do when confronted by someone holding an ax? Would you just crouch in a corner and let the person hit you with it? Or would you fight hoping you would come out on the winning end?
I think the horror of being in that situation is worse than any of us can imagine, and the response to it would be very primal, much like the movie.
Maybe Candace becoming a psychologist was her way of coping with what she had done, maybe she wanted to understand what happened and help others in some way. No one really knows what they are capable of unless they have ever been in the same situation. I disagree. Are you daft? Anything more goes beyond self-defense. In this case, 41 blows from an ax, goes FAR beyond self-defense.
Usually that high number of hits with the ax shows extreme hatred and anger towards the victim. She butchered a woman and because a sleazy attorney twists the story, this butcher walked free!!! No justice for the victims family. I hope Candy never enjoys life on this earth again!! She caused this from the start! Shame on Allen the damn whimp, what a spineless, loser husband he was!!!!
She got away with murder. What she did went way beyond self-defense. It seems Karma has not caught up with her; I hope she is deeply unhappy to the bottom of her soul, and remains unhappy until the day she makes a full confession. Self defence — hitting someone 40 odd times????
She hit her in the head with the axe once in the back of the head — she could have left then and called the cops, but No….
The fact is this WAS self-defense. She had no motive to kill Betty Gore. Betty asked Candy if she and Allan had had an affair, Candy said yes, Betty went and got the axe, Betty threatened Candy with the axe, but in the end Candy got the axe and Betty, not Candy, was dead. Also, when someone comes at you with an axe, and you manage to get hold of it in order to prevent your own death, there is no magic moment when it stops being self-defense. Many people would have done the same.
I am a television producer working on a project for this case. I would love to speak with you if you did know either Betty or candy personally. So is this what you tell yourself to justify what you did, Candy? This is so obviously you defending what you did. Karma will collect. Even to this day, it is almost impossible to comprehend such disturbing overkill.
Candy was enraged, furious, terrified, all of the above. Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Key Residential.

She is also the North Texas real estate editor for Forbes. Constantly breaking celebrity real estate news, she scooped former president George W.
Bush's Dallas home in She is the founder and publisher of her signature CandysDirt. Candy holds an active Texas real estate license but does not sell. This is more than just a typo. You made the same mistake in two consecutive sentences. Her is what? So you are a journalist, or have worked in such capacity in the past?
Why are people so judgmental, Bottomline this book is amazing!!! Ummm please calm down…maybe they just like the English way of speaking. I like how detailed this person is in their grammar police moment.
Karma is taking its time. Who is she? She changed her name from Candy… So how do you know her? Crowder said Mrs. Montgomery had to defend herself with deadly force when, after being struck twice with the ax by Mrs. Gore and then gaining control of the weapon, the heavier and larger Mrs. Gore refused to let Mrs. Montgomery go. Montgomery could have fled the Gore home rather than bludgeon Mrs. Gore with the ax. He also claimed Mrs. Fantasy football. Blood pressure. Brown University. Lawn birth.

Candace Lynn Montgomery, 71, now lives in rural Georgia. The state presented its case proving that Montgomery killed Gore. Crowder and Montgomery offered no argument. But Montgomery did take the stand. She and Allan Gore had an affair that ended months before, she said. And came at her with the ax, Montgomery said. In a struggle with the larger woman, Montgomery gained control.
I hit her. And I hit her. She fell slowly, almost to a sitting position. I kept hitting her. And hitting her … I felt so guilty, so dirty.
I felt so ashamed.
