Members of the press gathered around defense attorney Don Crowder outside of the old Collin County Courthouse after a Collin County jury acquitted Candace Montgomery of the charge that she murdered Betty Gore, a Wylie schoolteacher, with a 3-foot ax. The nine-woman, three-man jury returned its verdict after three hours of deliberation. The trial was moved from the new Collin County Courthouse (built 1979) to the old Collin County Courthouse (built 1876 and renovated in 1927) to provide additional seating space at the sensational trial.
