Candy Montgomery Husband: Is Candy still married to her husband?

Candace “Candy” Lynn Montgomery is an American homemaker who was accused of murdering Betty Gore, the wife of her lover.

The killing took place in Wylie, Texas, on June 13, 1980 and during the assault, Gore was struck 41 times with a wood splitting axe.

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

The trial, presided over by District Judge Tom Ryan was held in McKinney, Texas and lasted just eight days.

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

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

Of notable mention is that prior to the trial, Montgomery underwent a polygraph test which indicated that she was being truthful. However, District attorney Tom O’Connell argued that Montgomery could have fled the scene instead of attacking Gore.

The District Attorney also argued that attacking 41 times was disproportionate.

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