1
00:00:33,992 --> 00:00:36,451
Candy Montgomery.
2
00:00:36,452 --> 00:00:38,537
Good morning. Come on in.
3
00:00:38,538 --> 00:00:40,831
Why thank you, Betty. Good morning to you.
4
00:00:40,832 --> 00:00:43,125
I just come by to pick up
your daughter's bathing suit
5
00:00:43,126 --> 00:00:45,002
- for her swim lesson.
- Oh, yes, of course.
6
00:00:45,003 --> 00:00:47,379
Now, did I hear you got
yourselves a new puppy?
7
00:00:47,380 --> 00:00:48,630
Can I see him?
8
00:00:48,631 --> 00:00:51,049
Dogs are out in the yard. Come on back.
9
00:00:51,050 --> 00:00:56,722
Oh, got the sewing set up,
so we'll go through the garage.
10
00:00:56,723 --> 00:00:59,558
All the sewing was here blocking the doors.
11
00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:00,934
Uh, see this here?
12
00:01:00,935 --> 00:01:04,313
This, uh... the day's newspaper
had the date on it.
13
00:01:04,314 --> 00:01:07,983
Uh, Friday, June 13th, 1980.
14
00:01:07,984 --> 00:01:09,192
Is that Jack Nicholson?
15
00:01:09,193 --> 00:01:10,986
It's a review for The Shining.
16
00:01:10,987 --> 00:01:12,195
The Shining?
17
00:01:12,196 --> 00:01:14,740
It's a movie with an ax murder.
18
00:01:14,741 --> 00:01:16,825
You don't say.
19
00:01:16,826 --> 00:01:18,493
Huh.
20
00:01:18,494 --> 00:01:20,622
- Denny?
- Mm-hmm.
21
00:01:27,086 --> 00:01:29,213
So that there's the ax.
22
00:01:34,010 --> 00:01:36,261
When they get back to here,
23
00:01:36,262 --> 00:01:38,347
all the chit-chat leads to an argument.
24
00:01:38,348 --> 00:01:40,932
"You're having an affair
with my husband, you hussy."
25
00:01:40,933 --> 00:01:42,934
Well, now, the husband said
26
00:01:42,935 --> 00:01:45,270
the wife didn't know about the affair.
27
00:01:45,271 --> 00:01:48,357
Okay, or, uh, "You think you're so special
28
00:01:48,358 --> 00:01:50,317
"going on your family vacation.
29
00:01:50,318 --> 00:01:54,029
You ain't special.
I'm screwing your husband."
30
00:01:54,030 --> 00:01:55,822
"Well, guess what? I'm pregnant,
31
00:01:55,823 --> 00:01:58,075
"so he ain't leaving me. So suck on that.
32
00:01:58,076 --> 00:02:00,577
Take your swimsuit and get."
33
00:02:00,578 --> 00:02:02,455
- And then went back inside.
- Right.
34
00:02:03,539 --> 00:02:06,833
So now I'm fuming. The affair wasn't over.
35
00:02:06,834 --> 00:02:08,001
I mean, who are we kidding?
36
00:02:08,002 --> 00:02:10,212
Or at the very least, I ain't over it.
37
00:02:10,213 --> 00:02:12,964
And her being pregnant
means my dreams are dead
38
00:02:12,965 --> 00:02:15,050
and she's the one that killed her.
39
00:02:15,051 --> 00:02:18,136
An ax is a weapon
of opportunity, not planning.
40
00:02:18,137 --> 00:02:20,931
So I see it, I grab it,
41
00:02:20,932 --> 00:02:24,893
I come up right behind her,
and then... whack.
42
00:02:24,894 --> 00:02:27,312
Which causes my sunglasses to bust a lens,
43
00:02:27,313 --> 00:02:31,191
which falls under the cabinet there.
44
00:02:31,192 --> 00:02:32,943
But you moved it before you shot it, right?
45
00:02:32,944 --> 00:02:35,654
- So we can't use it.
- Dang.
46
00:02:35,655 --> 00:02:38,240
Yes, sir, but you should know it was there.
47
00:02:38,241 --> 00:02:40,158
There was no blood found in the garage.
48
00:02:40,159 --> 00:02:41,910
Well, that's because she falls
49
00:02:41,911 --> 00:02:43,745
into the utility room this way.
50
00:02:45,289 --> 00:02:49,209
With the rest of her glasses
landed here by the freezer.
51
00:02:49,210 --> 00:02:50,877
- Right.
- See?
52
00:02:50,878 --> 00:02:53,338
And then...
53
00:02:53,339 --> 00:02:57,926
well, that's when she really
went to work on her.
54
00:02:57,927 --> 00:03:00,137
Uh, sorry. Excuse me.
55
00:03:00,138 --> 00:03:02,764
- Denny, you wanna...
- Oh.
56
00:03:02,765 --> 00:03:04,142
There you go.
57
00:03:05,268 --> 00:03:07,519
All right. Like this.
58
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,813
Forty-one times.
59
00:03:09,814 --> 00:03:11,773
- Twenty-eight to the head.
- Mm-hmm.
60
00:03:11,774 --> 00:03:14,276
Now, Mrs. Gore did put up
a fight, as you can tell
61
00:03:14,277 --> 00:03:15,986
from the defensive wounds on her hands
62
00:03:15,987 --> 00:03:19,865
and all the blood that was on
the walls and the machines.
63
00:03:19,866 --> 00:03:23,160
And then this here,
where we cut out the linoleum,
64
00:03:23,161 --> 00:03:24,995
that's where we got the footprint
65
00:03:24,996 --> 00:03:27,415
to Mrs. Montgomery's shower shoes.
66
00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:34,171
Now, gentlemen...
67
00:03:35,548 --> 00:03:36,840
An offense like this,
68
00:03:36,841 --> 00:03:39,301
it don't happen without passion.
69
00:03:39,302 --> 00:03:41,511
And further proof to that
is Mrs. Gore's eyes
70
00:03:41,512 --> 00:03:42,888
were chopped out.
71
00:03:42,889 --> 00:03:44,764
Now, that's something usually indicative
72
00:03:44,765 --> 00:03:47,142
of a homosexual killings, gay lovers,
73
00:03:47,143 --> 00:03:49,644
'cause they'll do... now, sometimes they'll
74
00:03:49,645 --> 00:03:51,897
chop out people's eyes
and things like that,
75
00:03:51,898 --> 00:03:54,941
uh, especially if they're having an affair
76
00:03:54,942 --> 00:03:57,068
because they say, "I don't
want you having any eyes
77
00:03:57,069 --> 00:03:59,154
for anybody other than me."
78
00:03:59,155 --> 00:04:01,448
I don't know. I ain't a psychiatrist,
79
00:04:01,449 --> 00:04:04,117
so I couldn't begin to explain
the thought process on that.
80
00:04:04,118 --> 00:04:07,537
But in this case, it's,
"I don't want you having eyes
81
00:04:07,538 --> 00:04:09,831
for Allan 'cause I still
have eyes for him."
82
00:04:09,832 --> 00:04:12,250
And the wounds on Mrs. Montgomery?
83
00:04:12,251 --> 00:04:14,669
Medical examiner says
probably cause for the bruises
84
00:04:14,670 --> 00:04:17,047
on her legs is the ax coming down
85
00:04:17,048 --> 00:04:18,298
and the handle hitting her legs.
86
00:04:18,299 --> 00:04:19,382
- Right.
- Oh.
87
00:04:19,383 --> 00:04:20,759
I mean, we all learned not to do that
88
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:21,968
in Scouts, right?
89
00:04:21,969 --> 00:04:23,637
But ladies don't know that.
90
00:04:23,638 --> 00:04:25,805
- Got herself in the toe once.
- Mm-hmm.
91
00:04:25,806 --> 00:04:28,391
Lucky she didn't chop it off.
92
00:04:28,392 --> 00:04:30,602
And, uh...
93
00:04:30,603 --> 00:04:33,188
and then when she was done,
she took a shower,
94
00:04:33,189 --> 00:04:35,148
tried to wipe up the mess with a towel,
95
00:04:35,149 --> 00:04:39,069
but misses her own fingerprints
in blood, which we got.
96
00:04:39,070 --> 00:04:40,279
Dead to rights.
97
00:04:42,532 --> 00:04:44,492
And then she just...
98
00:04:49,705 --> 00:04:53,000
She just walked out the door and, uh...
99
00:04:55,461 --> 00:04:58,755
She walked out the door
and left that baby in that crib
100
00:04:58,756 --> 00:05:01,634
crying for her mother for 13 hours.
101
00:05:05,638 --> 00:05:08,849
She's, uh, a monster.
102
00:05:08,850 --> 00:05:11,059
Well, she's got two choices.
103
00:05:11,060 --> 00:05:14,271
She could plead not guilty,
in which case, we got her...
104
00:05:14,272 --> 00:05:16,648
we got her fingerprints, her blood,
105
00:05:16,649 --> 00:05:18,108
and her hair at the scene...
106
00:05:18,109 --> 00:05:21,570
or she could plead insanity,
but no jury's gonna buy that
107
00:05:21,571 --> 00:05:23,905
seeing as she took the kids
to the pool and the movies
108
00:05:23,906 --> 00:05:25,991
and just went about her day.
109
00:05:25,992 --> 00:05:28,118
There's a third option.
110
00:05:28,119 --> 00:05:29,912
She could plead self-defense.
111
00:05:32,456 --> 00:05:33,582
Well...
112
00:05:33,583 --> 00:05:36,459
Son, if we're having an argument,
113
00:05:36,460 --> 00:05:38,962
and you go grab an ax,
114
00:05:38,963 --> 00:05:41,006
the argument ends right there.
I'm out the door.
115
00:05:41,007 --> 00:05:43,174
We can finish this discussion
on the telephone.
116
00:05:43,175 --> 00:05:45,677
Yeah, two people, one ax.
117
00:05:45,678 --> 00:05:48,179
You come at me with an ax,
118
00:05:48,180 --> 00:05:50,807
as soon as I get it,
I'm no longer defending myself.
119
00:05:50,808 --> 00:05:52,142
- Right.
- Yeah.
120
00:05:52,143 --> 00:05:55,228
Please, God, let them plead self-defense.
121
00:05:55,229 --> 00:05:57,689
How the heck you gonna argue that?
122
00:05:57,690 --> 00:05:59,233
Hmm?
123
00:06:15,708 --> 00:06:19,670
They'll believe me because
they want to believe me.
124
00:06:21,213 --> 00:06:24,633
We just need to give them
something to hang their hat on.
125
00:06:26,636 --> 00:06:29,262
Candy.
126
00:06:29,263 --> 00:06:31,765
What did you do?
127
00:06:31,766 --> 00:06:33,309
Tell me.
128
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,188
Candy. What did you do?
129
00:07:35,456 --> 00:07:38,465
sync and corrections by solfieri
www.addic7ed.com
130
00:08:15,661 --> 00:08:17,704
Betty Gore died on Friday the 13th,
131
00:08:17,705 --> 00:08:20,457
the same day that the movie
Friday the 13th came out.
132
00:08:20,458 --> 00:08:23,626
The Gore house is the 13th one
from the corner.
133
00:08:23,627 --> 00:08:27,255
Uh, the body was found
13 hours after her death
134
00:08:27,256 --> 00:08:29,591
and Candy was arrested 13 days later.
135
00:08:29,592 --> 00:08:32,427
You can... you can draw your own conclusions
136
00:08:32,428 --> 00:08:33,803
as to the meaning of it all.
137
00:08:33,804 --> 00:08:36,389
And her last name is Gore.
138
00:08:36,390 --> 00:08:38,266
I'm changing my last name
to "Livesforever."
139
00:08:38,267 --> 00:08:39,809
Well, I heard that one of the jurors
140
00:08:39,810 --> 00:08:41,603
is on the same softball team
as Don Crowder.
141
00:08:41,604 --> 00:08:42,979
Well, I heard Judge Ryan
142
00:08:42,980 --> 00:08:44,689
delayed his retirement for this.
143
00:08:44,690 --> 00:08:45,982
And he wants a conviction.
144
00:08:45,983 --> 00:08:47,525
I just think that she's obsessed
145
00:08:47,526 --> 00:08:49,235
with her perception in the community.
146
00:08:49,236 --> 00:08:51,738
Betty found out that
she was screwing Allan,
147
00:08:51,739 --> 00:08:54,240
threatened to tell, and that's
why she hacked her up.
148
00:08:54,241 --> 00:08:55,950
- She's a narcissist.
- She's innocent!
149
00:08:55,951 --> 00:08:58,203
- All right, hon.
- You didn't have to come, Tom.
150
00:08:58,204 --> 00:09:01,164
- I ain't gonna miss this.
- It's not a show.
151
00:09:01,165 --> 00:09:03,084
- Mm-hmm.
- It was a drifter!
152
00:09:04,126 --> 00:09:07,253
Don Crowder. Guy's an ambulance chaser.
153
00:09:07,254 --> 00:09:08,963
What's he doing with a murder case?
154
00:09:08,964 --> 00:09:11,424
He's a showman. Loves attention.
155
00:09:11,425 --> 00:09:13,760
I've run into him a couple of times.
156
00:09:13,761 --> 00:09:15,678
Loves to talk about playing
in the Cotton Bowl.
157
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,348
Hey, look, start with Allan Gore.
158
00:09:18,349 --> 00:09:20,725
Hit them with the emotion
of the devastated husband,
159
00:09:20,726 --> 00:09:23,228
the destruction of a family
by a scorned mistress.
160
00:09:23,229 --> 00:09:25,147
How could they come back from that?
161
00:09:26,649 --> 00:09:28,024
Yeah.
162
00:09:30,653 --> 00:09:32,737
Is it her?
163
00:09:32,738 --> 00:09:35,073
- Excuse me.
- All right. Come on.
164
00:09:46,502 --> 00:09:49,254
- You ready to fight?
- Yes, sir.
165
00:09:49,255 --> 00:09:51,172
We know you're innocent, Candy.
166
00:09:54,593 --> 00:09:57,470
We love you, Candy. Stay strong, Candy!
167
00:09:57,471 --> 00:09:58,763
You're guilty!
168
00:09:58,764 --> 00:10:01,225
We love you, honey. We're here for you.
169
00:10:03,853 --> 00:10:05,311
- You're innocent.
- Candy!
170
00:10:05,312 --> 00:10:07,397
Love you, Candy!
171
00:10:07,398 --> 00:10:08,940
She's guilty!
172
00:10:08,941 --> 00:10:11,192
She should be in jail!
173
00:10:29,378 --> 00:10:31,921
All right. Now, before we begin,
174
00:10:31,922 --> 00:10:35,633
counsel will recall
back on the 11th day of July,
175
00:10:35,634 --> 00:10:38,845
this court issued an order
restricting news releases
176
00:10:38,846 --> 00:10:41,806
and prohibiting counsel
from discussing this case
177
00:10:41,807 --> 00:10:44,517
with any members of the news media.
178
00:10:44,518 --> 00:10:46,853
So this morning, I'm up in my office,
179
00:10:46,854 --> 00:10:49,272
and I walk over to the window
and look down,
180
00:10:49,273 --> 00:10:51,774
and there is Mr. Crowder
181
00:10:51,775 --> 00:10:55,366
conducting a press conference
with the television media.
182
00:10:55,368 --> 00:10:57,436
So what do you have to say about that?
183
00:10:58,824 --> 00:11:00,700
Your Honor, I thought the order was lifted.
184
00:11:00,701 --> 00:11:03,412
If I am in error, it is an innocent error.
185
00:11:04,622 --> 00:11:05,872
Furthermore, let me ask you this...
186
00:11:05,873 --> 00:11:08,833
Sir, you're not asking
this court a question.
187
00:11:08,834 --> 00:11:11,252
I asked you if you want
to make a statement.
188
00:11:11,253 --> 00:11:13,880
So now this court finds you in contempt.
189
00:11:13,881 --> 00:11:16,549
Your punishment is a $100 fine
190
00:11:16,550 --> 00:11:19,677
and 24 hours in the Collin County Jail.
191
00:11:19,678 --> 00:11:22,513
But so your confinement doesn't interfere
192
00:11:22,514 --> 00:11:25,391
with the proper representation
of your client,
193
00:11:25,392 --> 00:11:27,853
I'm gonna suspend your sentence.
194
00:11:29,521 --> 00:11:32,231
Thank you, Your Honor.
195
00:11:32,232 --> 00:11:35,360
Until the day
of the conclusion of the trial.
196
00:11:36,904 --> 00:11:40,031
All right, now are you ready
to enter a plea?
197
00:11:40,032 --> 00:11:41,617
It's up to you.
198
00:11:44,411 --> 00:11:46,372
Candace Montgomery.
199
00:11:49,208 --> 00:11:50,667
You stand charged with
200
00:11:50,668 --> 00:11:53,503
the first-degree felony offense of murder.
201
00:11:53,504 --> 00:11:56,130
So how do you plea?
202
00:11:56,131 --> 00:11:57,882
Not guilty.
203
00:12:06,850 --> 00:12:09,352
And how would you
describe your relationship
204
00:12:09,353 --> 00:12:12,689
with your wife prior to
the events of June 13th?
205
00:12:12,690 --> 00:12:16,109
Fine. Not great.
206
00:12:16,110 --> 00:12:17,402
Can you speak up, please?
207
00:12:17,403 --> 00:12:20,363
The acoustics in this courtroom
are not great.
208
00:12:20,364 --> 00:12:24,576
I said my marriage to Betty
was fine, but not great.
209
00:12:26,328 --> 00:12:28,539
But you loved each other.
210
00:12:33,252 --> 00:12:35,003
- Yes.
- You had just learned
211
00:12:35,004 --> 00:12:38,132
that you were expecting
a third child, hadn't you?
212
00:12:39,216 --> 00:12:40,759
Yes.
213
00:12:44,430 --> 00:12:47,933
How did your affair end with the defendant?
214
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,234
Just one day.
215
00:13:02,823 --> 00:13:05,116
That's it?
216
00:13:07,494 --> 00:13:08,995
Yes.
217
00:13:08,996 --> 00:13:12,123
One day we decided
to stop seeing each other
218
00:13:12,124 --> 00:13:15,335
because it wasn't good for
either one of our marriages.
219
00:13:17,171 --> 00:13:20,298
You told investigators that
you were the one who ended it.
220
00:13:20,299 --> 00:13:22,425
You were rather specific
about the reason why.
221
00:13:22,426 --> 00:13:24,510
I don't remember how
the conversation started.
222
00:13:24,511 --> 00:13:26,930
- No.
- But it was mutual.
223
00:13:28,182 --> 00:13:31,059
You told law enforcement that
you were the one who ended it
224
00:13:31,060 --> 00:13:32,727
because she was in love with you and you...
225
00:13:32,728 --> 00:13:34,938
I don't know why I said that.
226
00:13:36,398 --> 00:13:38,524
The affair ended amicably.
227
00:13:44,698 --> 00:13:46,909
Um...
228
00:13:48,577 --> 00:13:50,162
I'll pass the witness.
229
00:13:53,415 --> 00:13:56,584
How would you
characterize your relationship
230
00:13:56,585 --> 00:13:58,503
with Mrs. Montgomery now?
231
00:13:58,504 --> 00:14:00,213
Friendly.
232
00:14:00,214 --> 00:14:03,257
We're still friends.
233
00:14:07,346 --> 00:14:11,849
And when you found out that
there was a possibility
234
00:14:11,850 --> 00:14:16,395
Mrs. Montgomery might have been
Betty's killer,
235
00:14:16,396 --> 00:14:18,857
how'd you react to hearing that news?
236
00:14:21,318 --> 00:14:23,986
Well, I was shocked.
237
00:14:23,987 --> 00:14:25,947
I couldn't believe it.
238
00:14:25,948 --> 00:14:28,116
I still can't.
239
00:14:28,117 --> 00:14:29,576
Can't what?
240
00:14:32,121 --> 00:14:35,164
I can't believe that Candy
could have done it.
241
00:14:38,669 --> 00:14:40,921
Thank you very much, Mr. Gore.
242
00:14:43,644 --> 00:14:45,854
It's like he's a witness for the defense.
243
00:14:45,856 --> 00:14:47,635
Witness is excused.
244
00:14:47,636 --> 00:14:49,720
What just happened?
245
00:14:54,351 --> 00:14:55,852
Hi.
246
00:15:23,547 --> 00:15:26,090
Deputy Deffibaugh, other than the cut
247
00:15:26,091 --> 00:15:28,050
on Candace Montgomery's toe,
248
00:15:28,051 --> 00:15:31,387
did you observe any other
injuries on the defendant?
249
00:15:31,388 --> 00:15:32,805
Yes, sir.
250
00:15:32,806 --> 00:15:35,433
There were several bruises
on her feet and legs.
251
00:15:35,434 --> 00:15:37,018
Hmm.
252
00:15:37,019 --> 00:15:38,978
I'll pass the witness.
253
00:15:40,689 --> 00:15:46,110
Would you describe these wounds
as evidence of a struggle?
254
00:15:46,111 --> 00:15:47,612
That's possible, sure.
255
00:15:47,613 --> 00:15:48,988
Objection.
256
00:15:48,989 --> 00:15:50,907
Your Honor, that's speculative.
257
00:15:50,908 --> 00:15:53,202
- Sustained.
- I'll pass the witness.
258
00:15:56,371 --> 00:16:00,249
Deputy, is it possible that the bruises
259
00:16:00,250 --> 00:16:02,710
you observed on the defendant
were self-inflicted?
260
00:16:02,711 --> 00:16:05,046
- Yes, that's possible.
- Objection, Your Honor.
261
00:16:05,047 --> 00:16:06,964
Overruled.
262
00:16:06,965 --> 00:16:08,841
Uh, I don't recall, Your Honor, this ruling
263
00:16:08,842 --> 00:16:10,134
when I asked a nearly identical question.
264
00:16:10,135 --> 00:16:12,637
Mr. Crowder, I'm going
to insist that you...
265
00:16:12,638 --> 00:16:15,473
We'd like the record show now
the judge's bias.
266
00:16:15,474 --> 00:16:17,683
There is no necessity to
dictate into the record...
267
00:16:17,684 --> 00:16:19,852
We have to preserve the record, Judge.
268
00:16:19,853 --> 00:16:21,729
You've interjected your bias in this case
269
00:16:21,730 --> 00:16:24,023
from the very time that it started.
270
00:16:24,024 --> 00:16:27,693
You hit me with contempt
for breaking a press gag order
271
00:16:27,694 --> 00:16:29,362
when at the very same time,
272
00:16:29,363 --> 00:16:32,156
you had the press in your own office.
273
00:16:32,157 --> 00:16:33,699
As you said, it's right upstairs.
274
00:16:33,700 --> 00:16:36,369
Let me tell you something.
I am gonna conduct this trial
275
00:16:36,370 --> 00:16:38,496
in an orderly and professional manner.
276
00:16:38,497 --> 00:16:41,457
And I anticipate the attorneys
to do the same.
277
00:16:41,458 --> 00:16:44,627
Now, there are not going to be
any personal attacks
278
00:16:44,628 --> 00:16:46,444
on the presiding judge of this court.
279
00:16:46,446 --> 00:16:48,184
That's fine with me,
as long as the presiding judge
280
00:16:48,186 --> 00:16:49,423
of this court reins in their bias.
281
00:16:49,424 --> 00:16:51,133
Will you let me finish what I'm saying?
282
00:16:51,134 --> 00:16:53,261
I will not be lectured to
or bullied in this courtroom.
283
00:16:53,262 --> 00:16:55,930
I am representing a woman who
may go to jail for her life.
284
00:16:55,931 --> 00:16:58,432
I will perfect the record and
I will have the record show it.
285
00:16:58,433 --> 00:17:01,852
And the record in this case
shows that from the very time
286
00:17:01,853 --> 00:17:04,605
that it started up until now,
you have interjected your bias
287
00:17:04,606 --> 00:17:05,940
and you continue to do so.
288
00:17:05,941 --> 00:17:09,193
And no, I will not lay down for you!
289
00:17:12,281 --> 00:17:14,198
All right, sir. For that remark,
290
00:17:14,199 --> 00:17:16,367
this court is gonna hold you in contempt.
291
00:17:16,368 --> 00:17:19,996
I'm gonna assess your
punishment at a $100 fine
292
00:17:19,997 --> 00:17:23,833
and 72 hours in the Collin County Jail.
293
00:17:23,834 --> 00:17:28,379
This brings your total
to $200 and 96 hours.
294
00:17:28,380 --> 00:17:32,301
Mr. O'Connell, you may proceed.
295
00:17:35,304 --> 00:17:37,097
I will pass the witness.
296
00:17:53,030 --> 00:17:56,950
Were there any useful
fingerprints found on the ax?
297
00:18:00,141 --> 00:18:04,248
I'm well aware that on Quincy
or Hawaii Five-O,
298
00:18:04,249 --> 00:18:06,167
uh, they always get the fingerprint.
299
00:18:06,168 --> 00:18:08,002
But here in real life,
300
00:18:08,003 --> 00:18:09,670
the obtaining of a useful fingerprint
301
00:18:09,671 --> 00:18:12,006
is an unusual circumstance.
302
00:18:12,007 --> 00:18:14,300
And did you find any physical evidence
303
00:18:14,301 --> 00:18:16,635
that would contradict a version of events
304
00:18:16,636 --> 00:18:19,806
where, um, Betty picked up the ax?
305
00:18:22,184 --> 00:18:23,560
No.
306
00:18:24,978 --> 00:18:27,063
Deputy, let me just
come right out and say it.
307
00:18:33,362 --> 00:18:35,655
Candy killed Betty Gore
in that utility room.
308
00:18:37,741 --> 00:18:38,908
What?
309
00:18:38,909 --> 00:18:40,159
Oh, my God.
310
00:18:44,414 --> 00:18:46,792
She did it. She actually killed her.
311
00:18:48,335 --> 00:18:50,503
Why would she do such a thing?
312
00:19:01,348 --> 00:19:02,598
Okay.
313
00:19:02,599 --> 00:19:05,267
She left, uh, blood, fingerprints, hair.
314
00:19:05,268 --> 00:19:06,811
She didn't really try
to hide anything, did she?
315
00:19:06,812 --> 00:19:07,812
She did not.
316
00:19:07,814 --> 00:19:10,314
Then I'd say she's a pretty
inept criminal, wouldn't you?
317
00:19:10,315 --> 00:19:12,691
Probably, I would.
318
00:19:12,692 --> 00:19:16,278
You said before that Betty Gore
319
00:19:16,279 --> 00:19:18,239
could have picked up the ax first.
320
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,117
Uh, no, sir. I said that
there was no physical evidence
321
00:19:21,118 --> 00:19:23,786
- to contradict the possibility.
- Right.
322
00:19:23,787 --> 00:19:27,373
Did you find any evidence
that would indicate
323
00:19:27,374 --> 00:19:30,710
conclusively that this was
an unprovoked attack?
324
00:19:33,338 --> 00:19:36,216
Conclusively? No.
325
00:19:37,259 --> 00:19:39,135
I'll pass the witness.
326
00:19:39,136 --> 00:19:41,178
Mary, mother of Jesus, they're gonna do it.
327
00:19:41,179 --> 00:19:42,972
Self-defense with an ax.
328
00:19:42,973 --> 00:19:44,181
The hell they are.
329
00:19:45,475 --> 00:19:50,855
Did the chop wounds on Betty Gore's face
330
00:19:50,856 --> 00:19:53,733
- appear in parallel?
- Yes.
331
00:19:53,734 --> 00:19:56,610
They appear to have all been
afflicted from the same angle.
332
00:19:56,611 --> 00:19:59,530
And what does that tell you
about the state of Mrs. Gore
333
00:19:59,531 --> 00:20:02,408
when the blows were struck?
334
00:20:02,409 --> 00:20:05,161
Um... that she was not moving.
335
00:20:05,162 --> 00:20:08,831
So if it was a fight, at this point,
336
00:20:08,832 --> 00:20:13,294
Mrs. Gore was not fighting back.
337
00:20:13,295 --> 00:20:14,587
That's right.
338
00:20:20,844 --> 00:20:23,554
If it pleases the court,
339
00:20:23,555 --> 00:20:26,765
ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
340
00:20:26,766 --> 00:20:30,019
the State will rest its case.
341
00:20:39,529 --> 00:20:41,573
So you...
342
00:20:42,616 --> 00:20:44,533
- No.
- You...
343
00:20:44,534 --> 00:20:46,744
There's a perfectly reasonable explanation.
344
00:20:46,745 --> 00:20:48,205
All the doctors said so.
345
00:20:49,331 --> 00:20:50,789
All the doctors?
346
00:20:50,790 --> 00:20:53,375
I spoke to Dr. Bright,
and he explained overkill.
347
00:20:53,376 --> 00:20:56,504
That's when, um, more damage
is done than is needed to kill.
348
00:20:56,505 --> 00:20:59,548
Now, they picked that
military guy for foreman.
349
00:20:59,549 --> 00:21:00,674
- Uh-huh.
- He gets it.
350
00:21:00,675 --> 00:21:02,134
In the heat of battle, it's possible
351
00:21:02,135 --> 00:21:03,719
for soldiers to lose it.
352
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,888
And Dr. Williamson said that the overkill
353
00:21:05,889 --> 00:21:08,724
was a result of a dissociative
reaction that I had.
354
00:21:08,725 --> 00:21:10,351
Baby, you need to eat some food.
355
00:21:10,352 --> 00:21:12,853
Dr. Green says even though
we live in a civilized society,
356
00:21:12,854 --> 00:21:15,356
our bodies are still like
when we lived in the jungle
357
00:21:15,357 --> 00:21:18,192
ten thousand years ago.
358
00:21:18,193 --> 00:21:19,443
All right.
359
00:21:19,444 --> 00:21:20,736
Did you see that jury?
360
00:21:20,737 --> 00:21:22,279
They were relieved when I said
"self-defense."
361
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:23,405
- Did you see them?
- I did.
362
00:21:23,406 --> 00:21:24,782
I haven't seen anything,
363
00:21:24,783 --> 00:21:26,701
sitting in that room with Allan all day.
364
00:21:27,786 --> 00:21:29,078
Tom, you need another beer?
365
00:21:29,079 --> 00:21:30,538
Uh, please.
366
00:21:30,539 --> 00:21:35,167
When we feel that our life
is in danger, we respond.
367
00:21:35,168 --> 00:21:37,169
Like if a lion came pouncing
out of the bushes.
368
00:21:37,170 --> 00:21:38,712
Right. And it's even worse for me,
369
00:21:38,713 --> 00:21:41,006
because he also said
I have been over-controlled
370
00:21:41,007 --> 00:21:42,341
and over-civilized.
371
00:21:42,342 --> 00:21:44,343
Well, who controls you?
372
00:21:44,344 --> 00:21:47,179
My mother. And that's the thing.
373
00:21:47,180 --> 00:21:48,847
I have been controlled all my life
374
00:21:48,848 --> 00:21:52,434
and I didn't even know it
because I have suppressed it.
375
00:21:52,435 --> 00:21:54,895
That's why I sent her to
Dr. Fason... age regression.
376
00:21:54,896 --> 00:21:56,689
- Age regression?
- Mm-hmm.
377
00:21:56,690 --> 00:22:00,109
To find the incident in her childhood
378
00:22:00,110 --> 00:22:03,571
that caused this dissociative reaction
379
00:22:03,572 --> 00:22:05,281
though hypnosis. Oh, Pat.
380
00:22:05,282 --> 00:22:06,699
You know, they had that on Columbo.
381
00:22:06,700 --> 00:22:08,659
Uh, George Hamilton and Lesley Ann Warren.
382
00:22:08,660 --> 00:22:10,035
What do you know about that?
383
00:22:10,036 --> 00:22:12,705
So he took me back to when I was four
384
00:22:12,706 --> 00:22:14,623
and I was in an emergency room.
385
00:22:14,624 --> 00:22:16,000
And I was screaming all get-out
386
00:22:16,001 --> 00:22:17,668
because I had cut my head.
387
00:22:17,669 --> 00:22:19,504
And I was bleeding real bad.
388
00:22:20,672 --> 00:22:24,342
And then my mother, she shushed me.
389
00:22:25,594 --> 00:22:27,137
Shh!
390
00:22:28,388 --> 00:22:31,056
Just like that.
391
00:22:31,057 --> 00:22:33,726
Because she said I was upsetting everyone.
392
00:22:33,727 --> 00:22:36,228
You know,
393
00:22:36,229 --> 00:22:39,232
"What will they think about you?"
394
00:22:40,191 --> 00:22:41,859
Over-civilized.
395
00:22:41,860 --> 00:22:43,819
You never told me this.
396
00:22:46,698 --> 00:22:52,036
I have never truly been able
to express my feelings since.
397
00:22:52,037 --> 00:22:55,915
And they've just all been
building up inside.
398
00:22:55,916 --> 00:22:57,291
Mm.
399
00:22:57,292 --> 00:23:00,628
When a receiver enters
the area of a defensive back,
400
00:23:00,629 --> 00:23:02,630
then that defensive back
intends to hit that man
401
00:23:02,631 --> 00:23:04,673
hard as he can, just as hard as he can,
402
00:23:04,674 --> 00:23:06,008
you know, maybe even harm that man.
403
00:23:06,009 --> 00:23:09,553
But it is not a conscious thing.
404
00:23:09,554 --> 00:23:12,014
He is reacting to the ball and the man.
405
00:23:12,015 --> 00:23:13,891
Right.
406
00:23:13,892 --> 00:23:15,810
So why didn't you run?
407
00:23:16,978 --> 00:23:18,647
I tried.
408
00:23:21,483 --> 00:23:23,526
I'm just hurt, I guess.
409
00:23:24,944 --> 00:23:27,363
You lied.
410
00:23:27,364 --> 00:23:30,866
Well, you didn't tell me
and you tell me everything.
411
00:23:30,867 --> 00:23:32,911
I couldn't.
412
00:23:35,121 --> 00:23:36,789
I didn't want anybody to know.
413
00:23:36,790 --> 00:23:39,875
I couldn't say it. I couldn't say it.
414
00:23:39,876 --> 00:23:41,293
So the doctors are gonna explain,
415
00:23:41,294 --> 00:23:44,088
and then Candy will tell
her story in her own words.
416
00:23:44,089 --> 00:23:46,340
- No, I'm not gonna do that.
- Yes, you will.
417
00:23:46,341 --> 00:23:48,175
I... I can't say it.
418
00:23:48,176 --> 00:23:50,386
- Oh, you'll say it.
- No.
419
00:23:50,387 --> 00:23:52,097
No, I don't wanna say it.
420
00:23:53,223 --> 00:23:54,556
The jury needs to hear the whole story.
421
00:23:54,557 --> 00:23:56,100
They need to hear it from you.
422
00:23:57,811 --> 00:23:59,353
Please, don't make me do this.
423
00:23:59,354 --> 00:24:02,231
Candy, this is for all the marbles.
424
00:24:02,232 --> 00:24:04,525
Your life.
425
00:24:11,449 --> 00:24:14,368
What's everybody gonna think?
426
00:24:14,369 --> 00:24:16,204
That you did what you had to do.
427
00:24:17,580 --> 00:24:20,165
And you're gonna do it. You'll be fine.
428
00:24:20,166 --> 00:24:22,126
Pat, tell her.
429
00:24:24,462 --> 00:24:27,131
Everybody loves you.
430
00:24:48,653 --> 00:24:52,323
Take us back to the morning of June 13th.
431
00:24:57,912 --> 00:25:00,915
What time did you arrive at the Gore home?
432
00:25:07,046 --> 00:25:10,090
Mrs. Montgomery.
433
00:25:10,091 --> 00:25:13,051
Did you, um...
434
00:25:13,052 --> 00:25:16,848
did you go up and ring the doorbell?
435
00:25:20,310 --> 00:25:22,062
Did you knock?
436
00:25:32,697 --> 00:25:34,657
Candace?
437
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:39,871
Candy.
438
00:25:48,713 --> 00:25:50,506
It was about 10:00
439
00:25:50,507 --> 00:25:52,216
and I had just gone to pick up
440
00:25:52,217 --> 00:25:54,843
her daughter Christina's bathing suit.
441
00:25:54,844 --> 00:25:56,763
And some peppermints.
442
00:26:05,313 --> 00:26:07,272
Hey, y'all.
443
00:26:11,236 --> 00:26:13,362
I wasn't expecting you until noon.
444
00:26:13,363 --> 00:26:16,740
Oh, I knew you wouldn't mind.
This was better for me.
445
00:26:16,741 --> 00:26:19,244
Oh. You doing some sewing?
446
00:26:20,995 --> 00:26:23,372
I'm, uh, making outfits for the family.
447
00:26:23,373 --> 00:26:24,456
We're going on vacation.
448
00:26:24,457 --> 00:26:26,416
Oh, how darling.
449
00:26:26,417 --> 00:26:29,670
Lord, I wish I had the time.
450
00:26:29,671 --> 00:26:32,047
Um, can I get you a cup of coffee?
451
00:26:32,048 --> 00:26:33,674
No, thank you. Can't stay long.
452
00:26:33,675 --> 00:26:35,425
So much to do.
453
00:26:37,595 --> 00:26:38,929
Now, who is that?
454
00:26:38,930 --> 00:26:41,515
Oh, that...
455
00:26:41,516 --> 00:26:43,810
Oh, my goodness.
456
00:26:46,229 --> 00:26:49,022
I went out the patio door.
457
00:26:49,023 --> 00:26:52,401
Oh, what is your name?
458
00:26:53,444 --> 00:26:55,487
Come here. Come here.
459
00:26:55,488 --> 00:26:57,322
- Chito.
- Chito!
460
00:26:57,323 --> 00:26:59,741
- Yeah.
- Oh, Chito.
461
00:26:59,742 --> 00:27:01,122
Oh, gonna give me all the kisses.
462
00:27:01,138 --> 00:27:02,786
- We actually don't really...
- Who's got all the kisses?
463
00:27:02,787 --> 00:27:04,788
- Uh, pick him up.
- Oh, yes, you do!
464
00:27:04,789 --> 00:27:06,790
We don't want him to get used to...
465
00:27:06,791 --> 00:27:08,584
- Oh, my goodness.
- Being picked up.
466
00:27:08,585 --> 00:27:10,919
Okay. Okay. My precious little man.
467
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,212
Now, if you can...
468
00:27:12,213 --> 00:27:14,965
Oh, you're gonna make my husband jealous.
469
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:16,383
Oh.
470
00:27:16,384 --> 00:27:18,552
We came back in the same way.
471
00:27:18,553 --> 00:27:21,179
Now, what is it we were talking about?
472
00:27:21,180 --> 00:27:24,391
Oh, vacation. Yes. Oh, my goodness.
473
00:27:24,392 --> 00:27:28,520
I almost forgot to tell you
the most exciting news.
474
00:27:28,521 --> 00:27:32,691
Sherry and I, we're starting a business.
475
00:27:32,692 --> 00:27:35,485
Cover Girls. Isn't that so clever?
476
00:27:35,486 --> 00:27:37,154
'Cause we're gonna be doing wall coverings
477
00:27:37,155 --> 00:27:39,406
and paint and wallpaper and, oh, gosh,
478
00:27:39,407 --> 00:27:41,742
you know how Sherry and I get
when we get our giggles.
479
00:27:41,743 --> 00:27:43,076
We thought it up.
480
00:27:43,077 --> 00:27:44,745
We could barely speak through the laughter.
481
00:27:44,746 --> 00:27:47,080
So we knew it was a winner.
482
00:27:47,081 --> 00:27:48,665
'Course, you already have my phone number,
483
00:27:48,666 --> 00:27:50,208
but those cards are so cute,
484
00:27:50,209 --> 00:27:52,295
I just can't stop handing 'em out.
485
00:27:53,463 --> 00:27:55,672
And, you know, Sherry and I, we could...
486
00:27:55,673 --> 00:27:57,883
really help you brighten up the place.
487
00:27:57,884 --> 00:27:59,259
I know. I know.
488
00:27:59,260 --> 00:28:01,053
You don't need to be thinking
about all that right now
489
00:28:01,054 --> 00:28:03,764
with your vacation coming up,
so you just let me know.
490
00:28:03,765 --> 00:28:05,599
Ooh, I gotta scoot.
491
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,351
Okay, what were you saying earlier
492
00:28:07,352 --> 00:28:10,187
about Christina swimming
and some peppermints?
493
00:28:10,188 --> 00:28:13,052
And then, she just said...
494
00:28:14,692 --> 00:28:17,862
Are you having an affair with Allan?
495
00:28:20,990 --> 00:28:22,909
No.
496
00:28:24,327 --> 00:28:28,206
But you did, didn't you?
497
00:28:30,959 --> 00:28:33,168
Yes, but it was a long time ago.
498
00:28:40,218 --> 00:28:41,886
Just a minute.
499
00:28:43,972 --> 00:28:46,849
And then she walked into the utility room.
500
00:28:48,810 --> 00:28:51,103
And when she came back...
501
00:28:51,104 --> 00:28:54,231
she had an ax.
502
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,292
Betty?
503
00:29:14,293 --> 00:29:16,963
I don't want you to see him ever again.
504
00:29:18,423 --> 00:29:20,799
You can't have him.
505
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,719
Don't be ridiculous.
506
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,222
It was over a long time ago.
507
00:29:28,182 --> 00:29:31,018
Well, don't ever see him again.
508
00:29:31,019 --> 00:29:32,894
You know what?
509
00:29:32,895 --> 00:29:34,896
Under the circumstances,
I think it's better
510
00:29:34,897 --> 00:29:37,315
if I just bring Christina home
right after Bible school, okay?
511
00:29:37,316 --> 00:29:40,569
No, I don't wanna see you again today.
512
00:29:40,570 --> 00:29:43,280
Just keep her.
513
00:29:43,281 --> 00:29:44,656
Bring her back tomorrow.
514
00:29:44,657 --> 00:29:47,117
I don't wanna look at you again.
515
00:30:00,757 --> 00:30:03,592
I'll get a towel from the bathroom.
516
00:30:03,593 --> 00:30:08,847
Um, can you get Christina's
suit from on the washer?
517
00:30:22,987 --> 00:30:24,864
Thank you.
518
00:30:27,700 --> 00:30:29,534
She would give her daughter a peppermint
519
00:30:29,535 --> 00:30:30,786
for going under the water.
520
00:30:30,787 --> 00:30:32,913
For Christina.
521
00:30:32,914 --> 00:30:34,164
Should be enough.
522
00:30:37,210 --> 00:30:38,919
She looked so hurt.
523
00:30:42,548 --> 00:30:44,716
So I said...
524
00:30:44,717 --> 00:30:47,135
I'm sorry.
525
00:30:53,434 --> 00:30:55,019
I'm sorry.
526
00:31:01,943 --> 00:31:04,611
And then she pushed me.
527
00:31:11,619 --> 00:31:14,037
You can't have him.
528
00:31:14,038 --> 00:31:16,790
You can't have him this time.
529
00:31:16,791 --> 00:31:19,084
Betty, please.
530
00:31:19,085 --> 00:31:21,461
We were both standing real close
531
00:31:21,462 --> 00:31:22,921
with our hands on the ax.
532
00:31:22,922 --> 00:31:24,631
And we weren't really struggling,
533
00:31:24,632 --> 00:31:26,675
but...
534
00:31:26,676 --> 00:31:30,513
I just did not ever believe
she would use it.
535
00:31:35,977 --> 00:31:39,396
Nobody ever uses an ax on somebody.
536
00:31:43,192 --> 00:31:44,776
Then something changed in her,
537
00:31:44,777 --> 00:31:46,570
and she said...
538
00:31:46,571 --> 00:31:48,780
I've got to kill you.
539
00:31:54,745 --> 00:31:56,538
You hit me.
540
00:31:59,458 --> 00:32:02,336
And that's when I knew
she wanted to kill me.
541
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,344
Ahh! Ahh!
542
00:32:26,152 --> 00:32:27,152
Ahh!
543
00:32:27,153 --> 00:32:29,363
I pushed her and got it and...
544
00:32:30,907 --> 00:32:32,238
I hit her.
545
00:32:35,286 --> 00:32:38,079
I thought... I thought she was dead.
546
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,457
So I threw the ax
547
00:32:40,458 --> 00:32:43,168
and I ran up to the door to the house
548
00:32:43,169 --> 00:32:45,003
and she slammed her body against it.
549
00:32:45,004 --> 00:32:46,588
She... she was trapping me in.
550
00:32:46,589 --> 00:32:49,716
And I said, "Please let me go."
551
00:32:49,717 --> 00:32:52,511
And she just looked at me and she said...
552
00:32:54,805 --> 00:32:56,640
"I can't."
553
00:33:24,669 --> 00:33:27,380
I ran for the garage door.
554
00:33:28,381 --> 00:33:30,049
But she had locked it.
555
00:33:31,217 --> 00:33:32,550
Oh.
556
00:33:42,687 --> 00:33:44,271
Please.
557
00:33:44,272 --> 00:33:47,483
I said, "Please, let me go.
I don't want him."
558
00:33:52,446 --> 00:33:54,155
I don't want him.
559
00:34:04,125 --> 00:34:05,667
And that's when we heard the baby crying.
560
00:34:05,668 --> 00:34:07,253
We both heard it.
561
00:34:08,713 --> 00:34:11,089
Shh.
562
00:34:11,090 --> 00:34:13,550
She shushed me.
563
00:34:13,551 --> 00:34:15,885
After what she did to me.
564
00:34:17,221 --> 00:34:18,513
Ahh!
565
00:34:18,514 --> 00:34:19,723
I didn't even think about it.
566
00:34:19,724 --> 00:34:21,599
I grabbed that ax from her and I hit her.
567
00:34:39,869 --> 00:34:41,536
Yeah.
568
00:34:41,537 --> 00:34:42,955
I hit her.
569
00:34:45,124 --> 00:34:47,083
Ahh!
570
00:34:53,174 --> 00:34:54,966
But I don't know. I wasn't even there.
571
00:34:54,967 --> 00:34:57,969
It was just like I was standing...
572
00:35:00,431 --> 00:35:02,182
Standing back.
573
00:35:02,183 --> 00:35:04,184
Watching me do it.
574
00:35:13,611 --> 00:35:14,945
Ahh!
575
00:35:44,266 --> 00:35:46,101
That's your story.
576
00:36:33,816 --> 00:36:35,817
After you stopped,
577
00:36:35,818 --> 00:36:39,821
um, hitting her...
578
00:36:39,822 --> 00:36:41,698
what did you do?
579
00:36:47,329 --> 00:36:50,331
I, um... I found my shoe.
580
00:36:50,332 --> 00:36:52,333
I had lost it and I put it on.
581
00:36:52,334 --> 00:36:54,711
And then I went and I...
582
00:36:54,712 --> 00:36:56,881
and I found the towel.
583
00:36:58,883 --> 00:37:02,343
And I tried to... I tried to clean.
584
00:37:02,344 --> 00:37:05,013
I tried to clean it up.
585
00:37:05,014 --> 00:37:07,850
But I couldn't clean it up.
586
00:37:10,186 --> 00:37:14,982
I was covered in blood and I...
I had to get it off my arms.
587
00:37:16,567 --> 00:37:18,860
It was really making me sick.
588
00:37:28,454 --> 00:37:30,872
Did it ever enter your mind
589
00:37:30,873 --> 00:37:33,374
that if you were to kill Betty Gore,
590
00:37:33,375 --> 00:37:35,376
you'd get Allan Gore back?
591
00:37:35,377 --> 00:37:38,129
No.
592
00:37:38,130 --> 00:37:40,548
Did you even want him back?
593
00:37:40,549 --> 00:37:41,925
No.
594
00:37:41,926 --> 00:37:45,678
Did you consider telling anybody
595
00:37:45,679 --> 00:37:47,431
what had really happened?
596
00:37:51,644 --> 00:37:54,604
I was so afraid to and I was so ashamed.
597
00:37:54,605 --> 00:37:57,357
And I never wanted anyone to ever know.
598
00:37:57,358 --> 00:38:00,276
Well, did you think you'd be believed?
599
00:38:00,277 --> 00:38:01,695
No.
600
00:38:07,826 --> 00:38:10,829
Mrs. Montgomery, I need you to be...
601
00:38:10,830 --> 00:38:13,207
I need you to be real honest
with this jury.
602
00:38:14,667 --> 00:38:18,086
You're not happy that this
situation took place?
603
00:38:21,382 --> 00:38:22,967
No.
604
00:38:24,510 --> 00:38:28,596
But you feel genuine anger
to this day, don't you?
605
00:38:28,597 --> 00:38:33,101
I... I am angry that it has happened, yes.
606
00:38:33,102 --> 00:38:34,728
Why is that?
607
00:38:38,232 --> 00:38:41,944
Because it all just seems so pointless.
608
00:38:42,987 --> 00:38:44,196
Pointless?
609
00:38:45,364 --> 00:38:47,949
I don't want him.
610
00:38:47,950 --> 00:38:50,369
And I kept trying to tell her that.
611
00:38:57,001 --> 00:39:01,170
You didn't plan this, did you?
612
00:39:01,171 --> 00:39:03,007
No.
613
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,053
No, and she put me in that position.
614
00:39:10,848 --> 00:39:14,475
It has caused me to lose...
615
00:39:14,476 --> 00:39:16,979
everything that is important to me.
616
00:39:20,566 --> 00:39:22,651
And it hurts.
617
00:39:23,944 --> 00:39:25,654
It hurts.
618
00:39:37,041 --> 00:39:38,792
I, uh...
619
00:39:39,752 --> 00:39:41,795
I'll pass the witness.
620
00:39:51,639 --> 00:39:55,683
Mrs. Montgomery,
was the affair with Allan Gore
621
00:39:55,684 --> 00:39:57,393
the first one that you've had
since your marriage...
622
00:39:57,394 --> 00:39:58,937
- Objection.
- To Mr. Montgomery?
623
00:39:58,938 --> 00:40:01,105
- Overruled.
- Your Honor, this...
624
00:40:01,106 --> 00:40:04,150
this is not proper.
This is not proper at all.
625
00:40:04,151 --> 00:40:06,486
We renew our objection.
626
00:40:06,487 --> 00:40:08,029
Overruled.
627
00:40:08,030 --> 00:40:11,909
Mrs. Montgomery will answer the question.
628
00:40:24,213 --> 00:40:26,422
It was the first time.
629
00:40:26,423 --> 00:40:27,924
- Yes.
- Hmm.
630
00:40:27,925 --> 00:40:29,550
Well, was it the last one?
631
00:40:29,551 --> 00:40:31,887
- Objection.
- Overruled.
632
00:40:38,602 --> 00:40:40,311
No, sir.
633
00:40:42,982 --> 00:40:44,983
Now, the affair with Mr. Gore
634
00:40:44,984 --> 00:40:48,569
terminated in October of '79,
is that correct?
635
00:40:48,570 --> 00:40:49,821
- Yes.
- Since that time,
636
00:40:49,822 --> 00:40:51,406
who else have you been involved with?
637
00:40:51,407 --> 00:40:53,574
Your Honor, could we have
a running objection please?
638
00:40:53,575 --> 00:40:55,576
No, sir. You make your objections
639
00:40:55,577 --> 00:40:57,036
when you think they're appropriate.
640
00:40:57,037 --> 00:41:01,582
Well, I object to this question.
It is improper to... to go into any, uh,
641
00:41:01,583 --> 00:41:05,128
specific acts of what might be
deemed immoral conduct.
642
00:41:05,129 --> 00:41:07,589
Objection is overruled.
643
00:41:18,726 --> 00:41:22,019
I was with a man...
644
00:41:22,020 --> 00:41:26,691
for a brief time from
early November to mid-December.
645
00:41:26,692 --> 00:41:29,569
That also was of '79, yes?
646
00:41:29,570 --> 00:41:30,737
Yes.
647
00:41:30,738 --> 00:41:33,323
What was his name, please?
648
00:41:36,910 --> 00:41:39,454
I will not give you his name.
649
00:41:39,455 --> 00:41:41,999
I'm sorry, I didn't hear the answer.
650
00:41:44,001 --> 00:41:46,335
I said I will not give you his name.
651
00:41:46,336 --> 00:41:48,004
Why not?
652
00:41:48,005 --> 00:41:49,840
Because it is irrelevant.
653
00:41:51,467 --> 00:41:54,677
And I don't wanna do any damage
to his family.
654
00:41:56,930 --> 00:41:58,474
Another family.
655
00:42:02,936 --> 00:42:05,104
Did you tell your
husband about this man as well?
656
00:42:05,105 --> 00:42:08,065
Your Honor, we object again
as to this being improper impeachment.
657
00:42:08,066 --> 00:42:10,359
Objection is overruled.
658
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:11,903
That's three more days of time
659
00:42:11,904 --> 00:42:15,365
added to your contempt
sentence, Mr. Crowder.
660
00:42:26,752 --> 00:42:27,753
Pat.
661
00:42:38,222 --> 00:42:39,764
Hey, it's over?
662
00:42:39,765 --> 00:42:41,766
I mean, it's killing me
not being in there with you.
663
00:42:41,767 --> 00:42:43,310
I know.
664
00:42:46,104 --> 00:42:47,814
You have to tell him.
665
00:42:47,815 --> 00:42:50,192
It's gonna be in the papers.
666
00:42:56,240 --> 00:42:59,159
I was with somebody else.
667
00:43:03,705 --> 00:43:05,873
- Yeah, I know.
- No.
668
00:43:05,874 --> 00:43:08,210
Not Allen. After Allen.
669
00:43:13,674 --> 00:43:15,258
No, we...
670
00:43:15,259 --> 00:43:16,884
Yes.
671
00:43:16,885 --> 00:43:18,762
No, no...
672
00:43:20,681 --> 00:43:21,765
I...
673
00:43:23,142 --> 00:43:25,143
I...
674
00:43:25,144 --> 00:43:27,019
Stop it. I need you now more than ever
675
00:43:27,020 --> 00:43:28,729
and you are falling apart on me.
676
00:43:32,317 --> 00:43:33,985
She's fighting for her life.
677
00:43:33,986 --> 00:43:37,655
Pat, it doesn't matter if
she screwed one guy or 100,
678
00:43:37,656 --> 00:43:39,073
as long as she never does it again.
679
00:43:39,074 --> 00:43:41,409
Pat, this helps us.
680
00:43:41,410 --> 00:43:44,704
Okay? The DA's whole case
is about how Candy
681
00:43:44,705 --> 00:43:47,415
was so in love with Allan
that she killed his wife.
682
00:43:47,416 --> 00:43:49,000
Now, if she was with someone else,
683
00:43:49,001 --> 00:43:50,960
that means she wasn't hung up on him.
684
00:43:50,961 --> 00:43:52,670
Now they got nothing.
685
00:44:07,351 --> 00:44:10,687
When Betty Gore came at Candy Montgomery,
686
00:44:10,814 --> 00:44:12,899
she was no longer a human being.
687
00:44:12,900 --> 00:44:15,359
She was an animal in search of prey.
688
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,028
I don't know if final summations
689
00:44:17,029 --> 00:44:18,905
are all that important to juries.
690
00:44:18,906 --> 00:44:21,699
To a woman named Betty Gore,
691
00:44:21,700 --> 00:44:24,535
and event of massive tragedy
took place June 13th...
692
00:44:24,536 --> 00:44:26,662
a Friday the 13th.
693
00:44:26,663 --> 00:44:30,249
And this case will end
very nearly on Halloween.
694
00:44:30,250 --> 00:44:32,251
Maybe there's something involved here
695
00:44:32,252 --> 00:44:33,711
we can't understand.
696
00:44:33,712 --> 00:44:35,963
Something greater than all of us.
697
00:44:35,964 --> 00:44:40,676
The reality is there is not
a single shred of evidence
698
00:44:40,677 --> 00:44:45,264
to suggest that Betty
ever held this ax in her hands.
699
00:44:45,265 --> 00:44:50,102
And I won't pretend to tell you that, uh,
700
00:44:50,103 --> 00:44:52,146
reading a news account of The Shining,
701
00:44:52,147 --> 00:44:54,148
an ax murder movie,
702
00:44:54,149 --> 00:44:56,525
would drive somebody to do this.
703
00:44:56,526 --> 00:44:58,694
But...
704
00:44:58,695 --> 00:45:02,741
doesn't it suggest to you
why the ax was involved?
705
00:45:04,451 --> 00:45:06,619
And who got the ax?
706
00:45:06,620 --> 00:45:08,371
I don't care
707
00:45:08,372 --> 00:45:10,373
what all the psychiatrists
in the world say.
708
00:45:10,374 --> 00:45:12,833
There's just no way that you
can open up somebody's mind,
709
00:45:12,834 --> 00:45:15,294
look into it and see and decide
what they're thinking
710
00:45:15,295 --> 00:45:16,837
or how they're considering something
711
00:45:16,838 --> 00:45:20,299
or what they were feeling
at any given date or time.
712
00:45:20,300 --> 00:45:22,802
John Steinbeck once wrote that, uh,
713
00:45:22,803 --> 00:45:27,056
there are those among us
who live in rooms of experience
714
00:45:27,057 --> 00:45:29,558
that you and I cannot enter.
715
00:45:29,559 --> 00:45:32,770
You're not gonna pick up an ax
716
00:45:32,771 --> 00:45:35,815
and swing it 28 times, 41,
717
00:45:35,816 --> 00:45:37,608
however many times it was in this case
718
00:45:37,609 --> 00:45:39,318
and not know what you're doing.
719
00:45:39,319 --> 00:45:42,989
If you're worried about
whether or not Mrs. Montgomery
720
00:45:42,990 --> 00:45:44,365
will ever be punished,
721
00:45:44,366 --> 00:45:46,325
well, don't worry about it any longer.
722
00:45:46,326 --> 00:45:50,037
There will never be a day in
the life of Mrs. Montgomery...
723
00:45:50,038 --> 00:45:53,332
that she will be able to put
out of her mind
724
00:45:53,333 --> 00:45:56,043
that she committed this act.
725
00:45:56,044 --> 00:45:58,421
She lives in that room of experience,
726
00:45:58,422 --> 00:46:01,299
and it now constitutes a cell...
a jail cell.
727
00:46:01,300 --> 00:46:05,845
And Betty Gore, she threw away the key.
728
00:46:05,846 --> 00:46:10,016
Now, in a murder case where
there's two people involved
729
00:46:10,017 --> 00:46:12,852
and one of them's dead, well,
you're only gonna get
730
00:46:12,853 --> 00:46:16,564
one version of how that event took place.
731
00:46:16,565 --> 00:46:20,568
Does there exist a reasonable
doubt in this case?
732
00:46:20,569 --> 00:46:22,319
No.
733
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:26,700
There exists hundreds of reasonable doubts.
734
00:46:34,708 --> 00:46:37,461
Good luck to you.
735
00:46:46,178 --> 00:46:48,304
I appreciate the time and attention
736
00:46:48,305 --> 00:46:49,722
that you have given to us.
737
00:46:49,723 --> 00:46:53,809
You've been very attentive
to this entire presentation.
738
00:46:53,810 --> 00:46:56,188
Thank you.
739
00:47:03,487 --> 00:47:04,946
That's it?
740
00:47:26,093 --> 00:47:27,469
Now?
741
00:47:48,115 --> 00:47:50,783
I still say crime of passion.
742
00:47:50,784 --> 00:47:53,202
It's okay in France.
743
00:47:53,203 --> 00:47:56,122
Don't you wish you loved someone that much?
744
00:47:56,123 --> 00:47:58,165
And they loved you?
745
00:48:24,609 --> 00:48:26,193
Mr. Foreman,
746
00:48:26,194 --> 00:48:28,279
has the jury reached a verdict, sir?
747
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,447
Your Honor, we have.
748
00:48:30,448 --> 00:48:31,782
Where is Sherry?
749
00:48:31,783 --> 00:48:33,617
I will read the jury's verdict.
750
00:48:42,294 --> 00:48:45,463
"We, the jury, find the defendant...
751
00:48:51,970 --> 00:48:53,804
Not guilty.
752
00:48:53,805 --> 00:48:55,723
Oh, no!
753
00:49:00,061 --> 00:49:02,646
Congratulations, Candy.
754
00:49:02,647 --> 00:49:04,899
Order!
755
00:49:04,900 --> 00:49:06,525
Bailiffs, clear the court.
756
00:49:06,526 --> 00:49:08,736
She left my baby.
757
00:49:08,737 --> 00:49:11,530
Ladies and gentlemen,
please make your way outside.
758
00:49:16,661 --> 00:49:18,914
Truly a jury of her peers.
759
00:49:22,834 --> 00:49:25,753
You didn't care whether she lived or died.
760
00:49:47,234 --> 00:49:50,778
Let's go home. Let's go.
761
00:49:52,405 --> 00:49:55,449
All right.
762
00:50:04,668 --> 00:50:06,543
I'll talk to the judge, get you out.
763
00:50:06,544 --> 00:50:08,921
Don't you dare.
764
00:50:13,093 --> 00:50:15,344
You know what? I have to say
that I wasn't surprised.
765
00:50:15,345 --> 00:50:17,888
This is exactly what we expected,
766
00:50:17,889 --> 00:50:20,015
because we've maintained
all along she was innocent
767
00:50:20,016 --> 00:50:21,518
and now she's vindicated.
768
00:50:23,103 --> 00:50:24,395
Oh, my God.
769
00:50:24,396 --> 00:50:26,397
It is just so great
that everything can just
770
00:50:26,398 --> 00:50:28,024
go back to normal.
771
00:50:29,943 --> 00:50:32,736
Candy, it'll never be normal.
772
00:50:32,737 --> 00:50:34,321
You know that, right?
773
00:50:34,322 --> 00:50:36,031
Well, sure it will be.
774
00:50:36,032 --> 00:50:37,866
I mean, even Allan gets it.
775
00:50:37,867 --> 00:50:40,287
I mean, people just wanna move on.
776
00:50:42,747 --> 00:50:45,207
Look...
777
00:50:45,208 --> 00:50:47,502
you might wanna consider a fresh start.
778
00:50:49,379 --> 00:50:50,879
Oh.
779
00:50:58,888 --> 00:51:00,223
Where is Sherry?
780
00:51:01,766 --> 00:51:04,310
Probably busy keeping
her husband away from you.
781
00:51:06,396 --> 00:51:07,981
Tramp!
782
00:51:10,184 --> 00:51:12,144
Jezebel!
783
00:51:12,145 --> 00:51:13,851
That's what you are!
784
00:51:23,538 --> 00:51:25,039
So next time you're sad
785
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:28,959
because you didn't get what you want...
786
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,837
you just wait.
787
00:51:35,717 --> 00:51:40,471
Because God has something
even better for you.
788
