It's unfathomable that she got away with the murder, and the fact that she changed her name, moved somewhere else and became a licensed therapist is truly frightening.
It COMPLETELY baffles me that she went for ‘self defense’ & everyone went ‘SURE!’ And yet she walked straight out of that door to let that poor, innocent baby cry herself hoarse all day into the night not knowing when (OR IF!) anyone would come find her. It truly infuriates me.
@@p9782 i do think they get more anxiety and depression forsure. a baby wouldn’t be able to develop ptsd, and then remember that. I have ptsd and i cant imagine someone having flashbacks from being a baby, if that makes sense haha
The fact that she showered while the baby was crying and then she went and acted normal infront of the other girl after she killed her mother is actually mind-blowing. How can someone hit another 41 times because she shushed her.
@@The_Whimsical_Stenographer Agreed, someone who can do what she did with that axe and then act perfectly normal after doesn’t exactly appear like the type to be life-long traumatized by a “shush”. Everything she did screamed guilty.
I think the fact that Allen stood by Candy during the trial, even after she murdered his wife, swayed a lot of the decision making. Also, Candy was seen as a good mother and church going woman who made some mistakes. I’m truly shocked she was found not guilty, and in the state of Texas no less.
This was a conspiracy to murder her so Allen and Candy could run off together. Find her and hold her accountable by any means. The same goes for Allen.
the ghost also said at one point " your version of events" which is very good to add to the mix since betty is dead and we will never know her version of events.
It is absolutely abhorant that Candy was set free. No justice for Betty?!?! What a shame she was married to such a heartless worm. I feel bad for their daughters, truly.
That is not totally surprising since this racist society is all about yt people having immunity from law. While, it is is not totally shocking it is infuriating.
I like that Betty's ghost was in the courtroom to portray how much an injustice the whole ordeal was. Betty's true story wasnt told. I dont care if or not she was the aggressor how did she just walk away with the self defense case. Child abuse, abuse of a corpse something?!
I was SHOCKED that she got off for murdering a woman with an ax. 41 strikes. It's UNBELIEVABLE. WTF is wrong with that jury?? If Betty were my daughter, I don't think I could've allowed Candy to live.
Can you imagine going to a therapist, then finding out that she was an ax murderer??!! One would need long term therapy after they found out a murderer was giving you advice in life. Unbelievable.
Seriously. That murder was SO VILE, AND SO VICIOUS - she has zero remorse and it all seems very very sociopathic. I have no idea why she was let off when she literally butchered her best friend. Also, who believed for two seconds that Betty butchered herself with an axe? Really, what was wrong with these people? They seem very stupid, very naive, and filled with denial - our little church lady friend couldn’t have possibly slaughtered her friend - must have been DEMONS OR SATAN!!
I guess being a white woman in the 70s/80s you can get away with anything. I believe her lawyer and therapist were just as sick because her therapist put things in her head to make her believe it was self defense because of her “trauma” and the lawyer helped her come up with that crazy ass story smh
@@thecookingnook7684 and I get all that but it was almost like they painted the picture that Betty deserved this and she didn’t get any Justice at all. I wonder if her kids are sane or crazy as hell? Poor babies and how does the husband feel? What makes it worse is she’s a licensed therapist!!! What kinda shit is that???
The Hulu movie was well done capturing the times very well. Here's what I think happened. Betty confronted Candy, and it turned into a heated exchange. Then it's likely that Betty threatened to expose the affair, and Candy couldn't live with being exposed as an adulteress, so she killed Betty to keep her quiet. That's my take.
exactly! the cops touched her sunglasses lens that fell off so they couldn't use it in the court but it implies that candy went into the garage, dropped the lens or glasses and then hacked Betty in the kitchen by the garage. not how candy describes it at all. Betty was gonna tell everyone candy was a sloppy men eater.
That’s why I always say you can NEVER glorify someone’s life or relationships. You’ll be soo surprised of how unhappy people are. She was unhappy and so was he.
The fact that the jury also knew she walked out and left an infant unattended who could have died should have rendered jail time alone. The jury needs to be sentenced!
It is a jury, for f.'s sake! Read the code of criminal procedure to understand how utterly wrong that completely false idea of Yours is about how a criminal court works with juries .....
The jury believed Candy when she said that during the shock of the aftermath of having successfully defended herself against Betty's attack, she forgot that the baby was there and remembered it only later. Get over it.
I think Candy’s version of the story is one big lie. Investigatory tools were primitive in the seventy and eighty. Politically, she won her case but morally, she is guilty.
@@4star__t yeah but why would Betty be telling her to shush after bringing an ax out in the middle of a confrontation? It just doesn't make sense. Perhaps she would say shut up just out of anger but to shush her doesn't make sense whatsoever for the circumstances. The best I'd be willing to even consider believing is that Candy imagined that she heard Betty shushing her.
The fact that she got away with a vicious, brutal murder is disturbing. The fact that she got to start a new life and became a therapist after the fact? That's fucking terrifying.
Somehow kin to the jury that Casey Anthony had. Ancestry dna test to prove something is in their water or some close dna mingling is going on tampering with their logic.
You’re assuming one hit would stop the person from attacking you and trust me - that isn’t how it works. I mean, I’m this case yes, she definitely did it and lied
@@tristantries9211 Ah, another armchair quarterback who has never been attacked by an axe wielder yet is so certain of what s/he would do if s/he were ever in that horrid situation.
When someone says “ I’d like to have an affair” and then turns around and says “ I don’t want to hurt my partner by having this affair” I wonder if they know how contradictory and selfish they sound.🤨🤔
What I can't understand is why the heck the jury can even render a not guilty verdict in the first place. The fact that she said that she killed Betty Gore in self defense is absolutely ludicrous! You simply can not hack another person to death with an axe and claim self defense! I mean, 40 something blows is not considered self defense.
I felt like the movie was more about the power of social credibility and social perception. Candy had a ton of social credit, a fit physique, etc. while her victim was portrayed as a fat, sad loser. Those were the main ingredients in the verdict besides the trial itself, IMO.
And remember the one scene where the kids egged the Gore home, and Betty kept all of her class in detention as punishment. Obviously implying she was not a well-liked teacher in the community.
It's so heartbreaking that Betty never got justice. Even her damn husband couldn't and didn't care enough about her to admit that that woman had killed her. I got so mad watching the show that I stopped and read the rest of it.
I watched the show and it brought back all the memories of that event. I lived in Arlington, TX, at that time and this case was on the radio and TV.a whole lot! My daughter, who saw the show, asked me if I remembered it and told her everything! This was an impossible case to forget.
If you like true crime, this is a must see! The show is excellent with the murder at the beginning episode and storytelling peeling away layers is super intense. The 1980 sets are perfectly dressed. The musical score is creepy. Candy should’ve gotten the death penalty, justice wasn’t served as she gruesomely axe murdered Betty and unbelievably went free! Jessica Biel acted this role perfectly. It’s a tragic nightmare that this really happened.
I haven't watched "Candy" yet but I saw the movie "A Killing in a Small Town" several times and the actress Barbara Hershey played that part so good! So I'm interested in seeing how Jessica Biel does.
Nope. Ms. Gore was my brother's reading teacher, and she was tiny. She would not have attacked Candy, probably couldn't even have picked up that ax. If she were going to kill Candy, she would have found a better tool. There were dozens in her kitchen, alone. Candy was just deeply weird and psychotic. Witness the cool logic with which she designed her affair as though it were a building project. Deeply weird and unauthentic.
@@isabellavalencia8026 Gloria is AGREEING that Candy killed Betty Gore. She is saying that she seriously doubts that BETTY picked up the ax first. You should read more closely before jumping to respond.
Exactly! And it's so disturbing and it says a lot about the fact that people will treat you different when you're quieter. Because from the show alone it just felt like she was a to herself kind of person. And they played that against her. Plus I've read that she went after her husband for 2 months.
Jessica Biel did an incredible job playing Candy, this show was addictive. I’m a huge fan of Pablo Schreiber who played Allen Gore, and he just gave me the creeps. I still think Allen had something to do with it or known it was Candy. This show definitely needs to win some awards. Great show
Seeing it from Candy side, it’s the perfect way to get away with anyone murder. She was well liked by EVERYONE. Involved with everyone in church, ballet, party’s, hosting, school. Everyone knew her. It obviously doesn’t matter how horrible the case is, they seen her as candy not what a murder is.
My God, that fact that she got away with hitting a person 41 times with an Ax and then getting no time whatsoever, killed me. I was shocked that ppl could honestly accept that as self=defense. One or two hits maybe with a fist or kick no ax. I would have thrown it and fought if I was that scared. How was this woman found not guilty of anything criminal is absurd and the jury was blind or dumb and the district attorney was seriously lacking and played it too chill. And to be able to become a mental health advisor is insane too. How are you going to use and mental break in order to claim self-defense for chopping someone in their face and neck lying on the floor 41 times is able to assist others with mental health issues????? Someone needs to start making amends to that woman who was MURDERED, her daughter, her baby, her mother and father.
Somehow kin to the jury that Casey Anthony had. Ancestry dna test to prove something is in their water or some close dna mingling is going on tampering with their logic.
Same. I would be annoyed if my husband wanted his moment in my thing. I read that it was his idea. Not saying he was bad but I was too distracted by the fact that it was justin timberlake
Whoever did the makeup for Jessica deserves an Emmy! She looked like a completely different person and the hands/nails after the killing were so well done....her hands looked like she actually took an axe to someone! This movie was shocking and amazing. I still can't believe the woman murdered her neighbor, abandoned a baby, and got away with it! I'm sure even OJ Simpson is shocked by all of this!
I think one of the most interesting and kind of funny things is that reportedly Allan Gore was not an attractive guy and then they cast Pablo Schreiber who’s a ripped action movie hero and they still tried to make him look like a typical southern guy.
Candy should have went to jail period. I don't care what happend between her and Betty. She knew just what she did. She left Betty's daughter in his crib crying for 13 hrs!!! Than took her kids and Betty's other daughter to the movies and swimming. Didn't call the cops or take the baby. She's a sick person and I pray and hope she never gets a good night sleep and sees Betty's face. She'll be in hell before too long.
Society treats women especially white women as forever children. When a white female teacher has sex with a student, she is also never treated as severely as men are. The white teacher somehow turn teenage boys into the aggressors. Women do not even have to register for the selective service. Males can not get financial aid if they do not register. Men are forced to fight in wars and have to fight in combat in the front lines, and women are only there via choice. Even in Ukraine all men from 18 to 60 are forbidden to leave the country, yet women of any age without or with children are allowed to leave and sit in Italy and lay on a beach. Unless women, even white women do the things men do they do not deserve equal pay.
How can one hack another person 41 times with an ax and call it self defense? How does one not callnthe police to report a killing in self defense? What I believe was that Betty confronted Candy about her affair with her own husband. She threatened to tell everyone in their community about her infidelities. And Candy, wanting to save her reputation, killed her in cold blood. Candy got away with murder. I pray for Betty and her family.
@@nthomas32 yes!! Couldn't of said it better. It's sad that Betty's family and herself went through hell. Candy will forever be in her own personal hell and I don't at all feel sorry for her.
@@stephaniereach105 same ! She made up that nonsense story, and the twelve dumb ass jurors believed her ! Let me tell you something, if a woman lunged at me with an axe (Candy’s telling of events). I’m going to do my best to subdue the person attempting to hurt me, once they’re subdued; I am escaping, screaming, running in the streets, and CALLING 911 !!! A crazy woman just lunged at me with an axe. No way am I going to axe a person over forty times “in self defense” after that person initially lunged at me ! I’m getting the hell outta there, and calling the police ! It pisses me off the jury believed that bullshit defense. The prosecution did a piss poor job, and Allen was the biggest let down of all. Poor Betty, and her girls😔 had to go through this world without their mother
This woman murdered a person because she was “triggered” when she was shushed. If the jury believed this then why the hell didn’t the judge give her mandatory therapy!?! That’s what I don’t understand. No one thought she might be shushed again? Smh
not saying I agree with the jury's decision.. but during those times mental health care wasn't anything like it is today...and that's not saying that mental health care in the u.s is where it should be...because God knows it isn't...but back then...it really wasn't anything like it is today
@@lifeofatruckerswife I completely agree, however, throughout history everyone was quick to throw people into mental facilities, women in particular. To say “we think she was being triggered by being shushed”, I think the judge should have said as a preventative measure she should get help to make sure she doesn’t hack someone every time someone shushes her
I read a book about the events (Evidence of Love) decades ago and was stunned at the fact that this woman got away with such a horrible murder. Lost all my faith in the Court System after that…
She got lucky with the timing of psychology becoming widely accepted around that time. Today, she would have gotten the death penalty in Texas. Rightly so, like the experts were saying, self defense does not involve 40 strikes with an ax. This was pure jealousy and rage.
This just shows no matter how hard it is when you’re in a situation like this where you’re getting cheated on man or woman LEAVE it’s crazy sick and scary how you’re unknowingly risking your life because of someone else selfish actions being with a CHEATER IS NOT WORTH IT SMH
I don't see where there is any evidence of self defense. Candy struck Betty with an axe 40 times, gouged her eyes out, and left her baby to die. She then picked up the kids and went to a movie. Yet, the jury believed everything Candy said. She got away with murder. Justice was not served for Betty Gore and her family.
Umm planning an affair is just crazy and actually agreeing and not wanting to end it is even crazier. Then catching feelings, having baby, and finally feeling guilty. Murdering your child’s friends’ mom. This is all just unbelievable, sad, and disgraceful. Church girls gone bad always the worst. People unsatisfied by their life even more just ughh
Great example of how an attractive woman gets away with murder from gender bias in our society. Even more concerning that this murderer is a therapist!!!?.
Jessica biel is attractive. They tried to make her ugly with those terrible fake eye bags but her body is banging. But yes, it was an injustice to Betty to have the real candy get away with murder ..
I watched the movie I was really surprised that the jury found her not guilty but if you think about it they thought Lizzie Borden was not guilty too , we will never really know the truth on either case.
You can never judge someone how they act in a situation like this. People often go into shock and the crying and screaming come later, sometimes days or even weeks and months later. My best friends father died suddenly on a basketball court from a heart attack when she was 16. She seemed to be an absolute rock but six months later she lost it. She said it took 6 months for it to even seems real.
When the murder of Betty Gore happened we lived in Allen, TX. It shook the Community and surrounding area to its core, It was so devastating. It was such a shock again when Candy Montgomery got away with murdering Betty. I often think about Betty’s children and what became of her two daughters.
Bethany - the youngest is married with kids, and a teacher or principal. Alisa is an accountant high up in the company she works for and married with a son. They both flourished after they went to live with their moms parents.
Watched the series which left me angry and unfulfilled.. Not because the show wasn't good, but because the outcome was disgusting. Can't wrap my head around it. Why was the baby being left crying not even mentioned?! And they didnt do a good job of describing how many times she struck poor Betty. Really sickening. The poor kids that no one seemed to care about. Heartbreaking.
it was very real though sadly, a reflection of the flawed system. even when they fostered that boy and returned him for acting up, they never touch on that. because that was just the way things were, sad and pathetic
I wonder what happened that day exactly! The affair was over months ago. The wife knew nothing about it according to Allen. Candy had apparently moved on with a new affair and her husband of course. The weapon was at the house, it’s a weapon of opportunity as mentioned in the series. What made her snap? Getting told about Allen’s getaway with his wife ? Seeing the victim and remembering Allen chose her instead? If it was premeditated wouldn’t she have brought her own weapon instead? Ugh ! I have so many questions lol imagine how many cases have had a similar turnout
I think she did it because she was jealous and wanted to be with him and wanted to just get her out of the way. Something that I noticed while watching the show is that Betty asked her why had they stopped talking. And I think the only reason why she was in Betty's face is because she liked knowing that she was cheating with her husband I think it turned her on.
Your question “remembering Allen chose Betty instead?” Might be the answer. The show portrays Candy as a type A personality that gets what she wants when she wants and by any means, she is perfection in her own eyes and she just couldn’t accept rejection. Allen was just (also portrayed) as a dummy with no backbone, that was easily manipulated by someone with such a strong personality as Candy.
@@viviponce4537 you’re right! I wonder if she’s ever been diagnosed with a mental illness afterwards . I can’t see a normal person react like that! I wish Allen did an interview if he’s still alive but then again, he kinda had her back at court .
With the free time I had this past week I went to the neighborhoods and saw the homes where they both lived, even past a few Targets but I saw that my watch had stopped so I didn't go inside
Betty deserved so much better than the horrible husband she got and her “friend” Candy brutally murdering her like that, all because she wanted her husband. I hope Candy is living a miserable existence at least and that she’s completely alone. I also hope her being a “therapist” isn’t actually true and just a known rumor. Then again Casey Anthony has literally said that she wanted to have another child which is the most sickening thing to even think about and should be illegal honestly but she was acquitted too and is now back to trying to live out her old party girl days like whenever she was supposed to be an actual mother to the child she no doubt murdered.
I was totally riveted to the screen, your run-down of this series was excellent. I NEED to download and watch it NOW. Seriously, I'm hooked, and all because of your representation of the story. Great job 👏
Whether intentional or not, it seemed terrible to me that it went unpunished and that the death of that person did not receive justice and that she has been free and has continued with her life as if nothing had happened.
Jessica Biel and Melanie Lynskey and both under rated and are just Fantastic in this series. They both a very dramatic actress and do partially well in these kinds of rolls.
There was a CBS movie in 1990 Starring Barbara Hershey (Emmy winner for her performance) and directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal (Jake & Maggie's father) Complete movie is available on UA-cam. It was a good choice not to format into usual Top 10 considering the brutality of the story.
I remember this movie. They said that when she was a child she was made to hush under scary hospital visit. Supposedly it made her so called PTSD flare up and she blacked out.🙄
This is why people in the suburbs, 🙄, die; because THEY are always off guard thinking that they are the most timid peaceful people when actually THEY are the most violent.
Maybe there’s more to the story than I know, but the fact that Allan was out of town doesn’t automatically lead me to believe that he wasn’t involved in the planning of his wife’s murder. Nor does it make sense that Candy could kill her with an axe and get off on self defense.
It makes perfect sense that a jury in Texas would not sentence a white Christian housewife with what she actually did. The stronghold that image has on the simple minds of small town people is an unreasonable death grip, and has acquitted many guilty people time and again.
I loved the Hulu show. I especially loved how they woils have a new episode every single night so you didn’t have to wait an entire week to get caught up. I wish all miniseries were like that❣️
This story was done quite a few years ago. It was called A Killing in a Small Town starring Barbara Hershey and Brian Dehehey. It was an outstanding TV movie. Barbara's Hershey was excellent as Candy!
Story is about candy. She's a piece of work. Got it covered it.... let's talk real quick about Allen. 1. Dude cheats 2. Wife gets un-alived and after she's gone he gets remarried and not even to the chick he was cheating with. 3. He let's his deceased wife's parents adopt both of his children. He just goes on about his life. Wow
I cant believe she got free and allen didnt do anything. She knew what she was doing and showed no emotion watching that little girl sob over her moms death, so awful
Just a crazy thought. If she is still alive and they know she changed her name. Could they reopen the case and maybe go through fingerprints the ax for DNA maybe to find only her fingerprints?😳
Double jeporday. The "not guilty" verdict means Candy cannot be retried for that crime. If the trial had resulted in a hung jury, then, yes, she could be retried if the prosecution thought they had a better case. But the advent of DNA technology wouldn't help anything, at any rate. There was never a question of "who". Candy admitted she killed Betty. Candy got off because of "why" or psychological diminished capacity.

All they heard was church going, well loved, god fearing woman and they were gonna let her walk.
Somehow kin to the jury that Casey Anthony had. Ancestry dna test to prove something is in their water or some close dna mingling is going on tampering with their logic.

I wonder what the jurors would think about the verdict now.
Prove it.
the fact she became a mental health counsellor is even more frightening.
One hit is self-defense. Multiple hits are a criminal offense. An ax is first degree murder.
You’re assuming one hit would stop the person from attacking you and trust me - that isn’t how it works. I mean, I’m this case yes, she definitely did it and lied
@@Dizzydollie7 either way 41 hits is not self defense. I could believe a few hits for sure but not 15+ even let alone 40
Her argument was self-defense + triggered dissociation
@@tristantries9211 Ah, another armchair quarterback who has never been attacked by an axe wielder yet is so certain of what s/he would do if s/he were ever in that horrid situation.
When someone says “ I’d like to have an affair” and then turns around and says “ I don’t want to hurt my partner by having this affair” I wonder if they know how contradictory and selfish they sound.🤨🤔
What I can't understand is why the heck the jury can even render a not guilty verdict in the first place. The fact that she said that she killed Betty Gore in self defense is absolutely ludicrous! You simply can not hack another person to death with an axe and claim self defense! I mean, 40 something blows is not considered self defense.
Exactly!!
YES!
But I read the the jury all knew Candy and just couldn’t believe she’d do this. So she had them all fooled.
There were only 2 men on the jury the rest were woman.
@@robertoamador88 what does that mean?? Be sexist somewhere else
Sounds like anger .hate .
I liked the short series. Jessica Beil is an underrated actress! EVERYTHING I've seen her play in she's always done an amazing job
I think her other affair was with the lawyer. Its terrible she got off and was able to live her life.
I felt like the movie was more about the power of social credibility and social perception. Candy had a ton of social credit, a fit physique, etc. while her victim was portrayed as a fat, sad loser. Those were the main ingredients in the verdict besides the trial itself, IMO.
Totally agree
EXACTLY!
This social perception is even gotten worse in our time!
And remember the one scene where the kids egged the Gore home, and Betty kept all of her class in detention as punishment. Obviously implying she was not a well-liked teacher in the community.
Yes
Wow never thought of this. Super insightful...
It's so heartbreaking that Betty never got justice. Even her damn husband couldn't and didn't care enough about her to admit that that woman had killed her. I got so mad watching the show that I stopped and read the rest of it.
Me too! I stopped watching as well.
🤣🤣🤣
I stopped watching it too.
Not me , I watched all of it. To fucking crazy to look away .. left that damn baby. Could have had her husband shit anybody to go and check in
Isn't a regular jury-court put in place to serve justice to the defendant? So, You might have missed something .....
The fact that that poor baby was left and she never got to know her mom....its just so sad....she should have been found guilty!
I watched the show and it brought back all the memories of that event. I lived in Arlington, TX, at that time and this case was on the radio and TV.a whole lot! My daughter, who saw the show, asked me if I remembered it and told her everything! This was an impossible case to forget.
I love in Euless. HEB area
If you like true crime, this is a must see! The show is excellent with the murder at the beginning episode and storytelling peeling away layers is super intense. The 1980 sets are perfectly dressed. The musical score is creepy. Candy should’ve gotten the death penalty, justice wasn’t served as she gruesomely axe murdered Betty and unbelievably went free! Jessica Biel acted this role perfectly. It’s a tragic nightmare that this really happened.
The sets, the clothing and makeup, and the little 1980 details are fabulous. Not seen anything so meticulous and accurate since Mad Men.
I haven't watched "Candy" yet but I saw the movie "A Killing in a Small Town" several times and the actress Barbara Hershey played that part so good! So I'm interested in seeing how Jessica Biel does.
Jessica Biel did an amazing job. You should watch it.
Jessica Biel was fantastic as Candy. She was really believable as 70-80s oversexed-church-going-stay-at-home mom.
Jessica Biel did a great job
I want to buy Candy on dvd
Where u see this movie at A killing in a small town
Nope. Ms. Gore was my brother's reading teacher, and she was tiny. She would not have attacked Candy, probably couldn't even have picked up that ax. If she were going to kill Candy, she would have found a better tool. There were dozens in her kitchen, alone. Candy was just deeply weird and psychotic. Witness the cool logic with which she designed her affair as though it were a building project. Deeply weird and unauthentic.
Wrong...Candy committed the murder.
@@isabellavalencia8026 Gloria is AGREEING that Candy killed Betty Gore. She is saying that she seriously doubts that BETTY picked up the ax first. You should read more closely before jumping to respond.

@@kennedystarr8094 Reread it pal
What's really frightening to me is that Betty was a good person but nobody I mean nobody except her family seemed to care that was axed like that.
Exactly! And it's so disturbing and it says a lot about the fact that people will treat you different when you're quieter. Because from the show alone it just felt like she was a to herself kind of person. And they played that against her. Plus I've read that she went after her husband for 2 months.
@@Mickeii617 Yes!
Jessica Biel did an incredible job playing Candy, this show was addictive. I’m a huge fan of Pablo Schreiber who played Allen Gore, and he just gave me the creeps. I still think Allen had something to do with it or known it was Candy. This show definitely needs to win some awards. Great show
Seeing it from Candy side, it’s the perfect way to get away with anyone murder. She was well liked by EVERYONE. Involved with everyone in church, ballet, party’s, hosting, school. Everyone knew her. It obviously doesn’t matter how horrible the case is, they seen her as candy not what a murder is.

My God, that fact that she got away with hitting a person 41 times with an Ax and then getting no time whatsoever, killed me. I was shocked that ppl could honestly accept that as self=defense. One or two hits maybe with a fist or kick no ax. I would have thrown it and fought if I was that scared. How was this woman found not guilty of anything criminal is absurd and the jury was blind or dumb and the district attorney was seriously lacking and played it too chill. And to be able to become a mental health advisor is insane too. How are you going to use and mental break in order to claim self-defense for chopping someone in their face and neck lying on the floor 41 times is able to assist others with mental health issues????? Someone needs to start making amends to that woman who was MURDERED, her daughter, her baby, her mother and father.
She at least should have went to jail for child neglect
I was absolutely flabbergasted that she was found innocent of the crime that she committed!
What type of jury was that to let this murderer just walk free? Just unbelievable !
mind sets were very different. people would believe guilt, but couldn't have a mom put in prison. that started to change in the 90s.

Makeup does wonders😂😂
Same😂
Wait…that looks like JT…it is!!…aww so cute husband and wife working on set together.
Same. I would be annoyed if my husband wanted his moment in my thing. I read that it was his idea. Not saying he was bad but I was too distracted by the fact that it was justin timberlake
@@sleepyandhollow. his accent wasn't the best too 😅
Her poor husband really is saying " so I married an axe murderer'...love the series....all in one night! Jessica is lovely.
Omg 😂😂😂
Whoever did the makeup for Jessica deserves an Emmy! She looked like a completely different person and the hands/nails after the killing were so well done....her hands looked like she actually took an axe to someone! This movie was shocking and amazing. I still can't believe the woman murdered her neighbor, abandoned a baby, and got away with it! I'm sure even OJ Simpson is shocked by all of this!
I think one of the most interesting and kind of funny things is that reportedly Allan Gore was not an attractive guy and then they cast Pablo Schreiber who’s a ripped action movie hero and they still tried to make him look like a typical southern guy.
They wouldn’t take his shirt off for anything! 🤣🤣 I thought it was hilarious. I knew they had to bring down his looks.
Typical Southern Men are hotter than Hell. Gentlemen in the streets and freaks in the sheets. I should know I married one. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Same with Jessica Biel ,Candy wasn’t ugly by any means but Jessica is Stunning
I just see Pornstache from OITNB in glasses.
Thank you for reminding us how good of and actress Jessica Biel is.
I was absolutely infuriated at the injustice after watching Candy. So gross.
Candy should have went to jail period. I don't care what happend between her and Betty. She knew just what she did. She left Betty's daughter in his crib crying for 13 hrs!!! Than took her kids and Betty's other daughter to the movies and swimming. Didn't call the cops or take the baby. She's a sick person and I pray and hope she never gets a good night sleep and sees Betty's face. She'll be in hell before too long.
I totally agree candy definitely should had ended up in prison she's truly a horrible person
Society treats women especially white women as forever children. When a white female teacher has sex with a student, she is also never treated as severely as men are. The white teacher somehow turn teenage boys into the aggressors. Women do not even have to register for the selective service. Males can not get financial aid if they do not register. Men are forced to fight in wars and have to fight in combat in the front lines, and women are only there via choice.
Even in Ukraine all men from 18 to 60 are forbidden to leave the country, yet women of any age without or with children are allowed to leave and sit in Italy and lay on a beach.
Unless women, even white women do the things men do they do not deserve equal pay.
How can one hack another person 41 times with an ax and call it self defense? How does one not callnthe police to report a killing in self defense? What I believe was that Betty confronted Candy about her affair with her own husband. She threatened to tell everyone in their community about her infidelities. And Candy, wanting to save her reputation, killed her in cold blood. Candy got away with murder. I pray for Betty and her family.
@@nthomas32 yes!! Couldn't of said it better. It's sad that Betty's family and herself went through hell. Candy will forever be in her own personal hell and I don't at all feel sorry for her.
@@stephaniereach105 same ! She made up that nonsense story, and the twelve dumb ass jurors believed her ! Let me tell you something, if a woman lunged at me with an axe (Candy’s telling of events). I’m going to do my best to subdue the person attempting to hurt me, once they’re subdued; I am escaping, screaming, running in the streets, and CALLING 911 !!! A crazy woman just lunged at me with an axe. No way am I going to axe a person over forty times “in self defense” after that person initially lunged at me ! I’m getting the hell outta there, and calling the police ! It pisses me off the jury believed that bullshit defense. The prosecution did a piss poor job, and Allen was the biggest let down of all. Poor Betty, and her girls😔 had to go through this world without their mother
This woman murdered a person because she was “triggered” when she was shushed. If the jury believed this then why the hell didn’t the judge give her mandatory therapy!?! That’s what I don’t understand. No one thought she might be shushed again? Smh
Omg that's such a good point!
That's what I said! What if her children shush her? She could kill anyone and blame her "trigger."
not saying I agree with the jury's decision.. but during those times mental health care wasn't anything like it is today...and that's not saying that mental health care in the u.s is where it should be...because God knows it isn't...but back then...it really wasn't anything like it is today
@@lifeofatruckerswife I completely agree, however, throughout history everyone was quick to throw people into mental facilities, women in particular. To say “we think she was being triggered by being shushed”, I think the judge should have said as a preventative measure she should get help to make sure she doesn’t hack someone every time someone shushes her
Mental health wasn’t a thing in the 70’s-80’s. Dentists still cured tooth aches with cocaine.
I remember when this happened. Hard to believe it’s been almost 50 years ago. We lived in Dallas, not far from Wylie.
Ummm 1980 is not 50 years ago. 7 years is quite a difference in my opinion lol.
@@jessicaaye3738 8
42 y
It’s eerie, because I watched this video today. Today marks 42 years since Betty received no justice, smh.
I read a book about the events (Evidence of Love) decades ago and was stunned at the fact that this woman got away with such a horrible murder. Lost all my faith in the Court System after that…
She got lucky with the timing of psychology becoming widely accepted around that time. Today, she would have gotten the death penalty in Texas. Rightly so, like the experts were saying, self defense does not involve 40 strikes with an ax. This was pure jealousy and rage.
This just shows no matter how hard it is when you’re in a situation like this where you’re getting cheated on man or woman LEAVE it’s crazy sick and scary how you’re unknowingly risking your life because of someone else selfish actions being with a CHEATER IS NOT WORTH IT SMH
I don't see where there is any evidence of self defense. Candy struck Betty with an axe 40 times, gouged her eyes out, and left her baby to die. She then picked up the kids and went to a movie. Yet, the jury believed everything Candy said. She got away with murder. Justice was not served for Betty Gore and her family.
Umm planning an affair is just crazy and actually agreeing and not wanting to end it is even crazier. Then catching feelings, having baby, and finally feeling guilty. Murdering your child’s friends’ mom. This is all just unbelievable, sad, and disgraceful. Church girls gone bad always the worst. People unsatisfied by their life even more just ughh
How do people think a affair will ever work out . It always leads to feelings and destroys family's.
I remember when this happened. She literally got away with murder. She reportedly snapped when Betty told her to hush.
Is she gonna kill someone Everytime she gets shhhhed
Great example of how an attractive woman gets away with murder from gender bias in our society. Even more concerning that this murderer is a therapist!!!?.
Attractive?
She was not attractive lol
It's about race. It is about yt people having immunity from law.
@@bonchidude everyone involved was White. Go touch grass
Jessica biel is attractive. They tried to make her ugly with those terrible fake eye bags but her body is banging.
But yes, it was an injustice to Betty to have the real candy get away with murder ..
Oh I haven’t watched yet! Now I will tonight! Thank you for your content!
Thanks for watching!
Think I’ll watch later!
I watched the movie I was really surprised that the jury found her not guilty but if you think about it they thought Lizzie Borden was not guilty too , we will never really know the truth on either case.
Jessica s Acting is great . I am suprised how vertisail she can be in her roles .she should be in more Movies .
I liked the series but it felt a little short. There is little to nothing about the aftermath of the trial.
Just started watching last night....3 episodes left...im sooo confused but intrigued at the same time...
How on earth did she get away with this ????? Honestly, how ???? How is this possible??????
You can never judge someone how they act in a situation like this. People often go into shock and the crying and screaming come later, sometimes days or even weeks and months later. My best friends father died suddenly on a basketball court from a heart attack when she was 16. She seemed to be an absolute rock but six months later she lost it. She said it took 6 months for it to even seems real.
When the murder of Betty Gore happened we lived in Allen, TX.
It shook the Community and surrounding area to its core, It was so devastating.
It was such a shock again when Candy Montgomery got away with murdering Betty.
I often think about Betty’s children and what became of her two daughters.
Bethany - the youngest is married with kids, and a teacher or principal. Alisa is an accountant high up in the company she works for and married with a son. They both flourished after they went to live with their moms parents.
I live in Allen now, but Dville at this time. Wylie and Allen were farm towns. Love them then, love them now.
@@71DLM Thank you for the update, so happy to hear that they're doing well 💙
She is guilty . I just finished the series and can’t believe people actually believed it was in self defence 🤥
Watched the series which left me angry and unfulfilled.. Not because the show wasn't good, but because the outcome was disgusting. Can't wrap my head around it. Why was the baby being left crying not even mentioned?! And they didnt do a good job of describing how many times she struck poor Betty. Really sickening. The poor kids that no one seemed to care about. Heartbreaking.
it was very real though sadly, a reflection of the flawed system. even when they fostered that boy and returned him for acting up, they never touch on that. because that was just the way things were, sad and pathetic
Can’t believe this happened in my hometown. Nothing really happens in Wylie but this was nuts.
I wonder what happened that day exactly! The affair was over months ago. The wife knew nothing about it according to Allen. Candy had apparently moved on with a new affair and her husband of course. The weapon was at the house, it’s a weapon of opportunity as mentioned in the series. What made her snap? Getting told about Allen’s getaway with his wife ? Seeing the victim and remembering Allen chose her instead? If it was premeditated wouldn’t she have brought her own weapon instead? Ugh ! I have so many questions lol imagine how many cases have had a similar turnout
I think she did it because she was jealous and wanted to be with him and wanted to just get her out of the way. Something that I noticed while watching the show is that Betty asked her why had they stopped talking. And I think the only reason why she was in Betty's face is because she liked knowing that she was cheating with her husband I think it turned her on.
Your question “remembering Allen chose Betty instead?” Might be the answer. The show portrays Candy as a type A personality that gets what she wants when she wants and by any means, she is perfection in her own eyes and she just couldn’t accept rejection. Allen was just (also portrayed) as a dummy with no backbone, that was easily manipulated by someone with such a strong personality as Candy.
@@viviponce4537 you’re right! I wonder if she’s ever been diagnosed with a mental illness afterwards . I can’t see a normal person react like that! I wish Allen did an interview if he’s still alive but then again, he kinda had her back at court .
It’s frightening that she got away w/ murder.. & She legit left that baby crying for hours😭😭😭… Evil
I wish this case could go back to court and she could get locked up
With the free time I had this past week I went to the neighborhoods and saw the homes where they both lived, even past a few Targets but I saw that my watch had stopped so I didn't go inside
Not self defense, she left the baby defenseless, she took a mother that loved them .
Jessica looks unrecognisable in the wig and makeup. I'm looking forward to see her take on the infamous murderer.
It’s out now. Watch it.
Na .. she doesn't look that different, ... can't hide that hotness under some curly hair and glasses. She was really good though.
It actually took me reading the comments to know that it was Jessica.
It irritates me that people assume everyone has to be a "basket case" to show grief. Some people shut down.
12:53 and that is how you bring Candy into the MCU, she’s just a Scarlet Witch variant and it’s all connected
Betty deserved so much better than the horrible husband she got and her “friend” Candy brutally murdering her like that, all because she wanted her husband. I hope Candy is living a miserable existence at least and that she’s completely alone. I also hope her being a “therapist” isn’t actually true and just a known rumor.
Then again Casey Anthony has literally said that she wanted to have another child which is the most sickening thing to even think about and should be illegal honestly but she was acquitted too and is now back to trying to live out her old party girl days like whenever she was supposed to be an actual mother to the child she no doubt murdered.
The jury must've been drunk the entire trial because I can't understand how they found her not guilty.
So sorry for Betty and her child . rip in Betty .
I was totally riveted to the screen, your run-down of this series was excellent. I NEED to download and watch it NOW. Seriously, I'm hooked, and all because of your representation of the story. Great job 👏
Whether intentional or not, it seemed terrible to me that it went unpunished and that the death of that person did not receive justice and that she has been free and has continued with her life as if nothing had happened.
Jessica Biel and Melanie Lynskey and both under rated and are just Fantastic in this series. They both a very dramatic actress and do partially well in these kinds of rolls.

There was a CBS movie in 1990 Starring Barbara Hershey (Emmy winner for her performance) and directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal (Jake & Maggie's father) Complete movie is available on UA-cam. It was a good choice not to format into usual Top 10 considering the brutality of the story.

This wasn’t self defense this was pre plan murder candy knew what she was doing
True sign of a narcissist getting bored and wanting change
Maybe there’s more to the story than I know, but the fact that Allan was out of town doesn’t automatically lead me to believe that he wasn’t involved in the planning of his wife’s murder. Nor does it make sense that Candy could kill her with an axe and get off on self defense.
It makes perfect sense that a jury in Texas would not sentence a white Christian housewife with what she actually did. The stronghold that image has on the simple minds of small town people is an unreasonable death grip, and has acquitted many guilty people time and again.
She should be in jail period she murdered that poor woman
I loved the Hulu show. I especially loved how they woils have a new episode every single night so you didn’t have to wait an entire week to get caught up. I wish all miniseries were like that❣️
Jessica Biel did a terrific job of acting.
This story was done quite a few years ago. It was called A Killing in a Small Town starring Barbara Hershey and Brian Dehehey. It was an outstanding TV movie. Barbara's Hershey was excellent as Candy!
Story is about candy. She's a piece of work. Got it covered it.... let's talk real quick about Allen.
1. Dude cheats
2. Wife gets un-alived and after she's gone he gets remarried and not even to the chick he was cheating with.
3. He let's his deceased wife's parents adopt both of his children.
He just goes on about his life. Wow
There's an old school LMN movie called "A Killing in a Small Town". It is really good. UA-cam may have it if you search it.

If she is still alive and they know she changed her name. Could they reopen the case and maybe go through fingerprints the ax for DNA maybe to find only her fingerprints?😳
Double jeporday. The "not guilty" verdict means Candy cannot be retried for that crime. If the trial had resulted in a hung jury, then, yes, she could be retried if the prosecution thought they had a better case.
But the advent of DNA technology wouldn't help anything, at any rate. There was never a question of "who". Candy admitted she killed Betty. Candy got off because of "why" or psychological diminished capacity.
