## Resource

Candy Montgomery's lawyer stood up in front of the jury and admitted his client had killed Betty Gore with an axe. Then he spent eight days convincing them to let her walk free. The defense that followed was so audacious that reporters in the gallery actually laughed out loud. Some of the jurors didn't think it was funny. In the final episode on Candy Montgomery, we cover the trial, the verdict that stunned a town, and the aftermath. This episode contains descriptions of extreme violence and the mutilation of a body.
