According to Oxygen, Montgomery's legal professional mentioned that she had killed Gore in self-defense. While on the stand, Montgomery explained that she showed up on the Gore's place of dwelling to pick out up a showering suit for Alisa, the Gore's older daughter whom she was once babysitting (via All That's Interesting). It's then that Gore asked Montgomery point-blank if she was having an affair with Allan. Montgomery confessed that she was and claims that Gore proceeded to attack her with the ax. Montgomery then overpowered Gore and killed her. She left baby Bethany in her crib and returned home as if nothing had happened.

In a decision that is still deemed debatable as of late, Buzzfeed states that jurors purchased Montgomery's self-defense tale. She was once in the end acquitted of Gore's murder in October 1980. Bustle stories that after the trial got here to an finish, Allan remarried and lost custody of Alisa and Bethany to Gore's oldsters. Alisa now lives in Kansas together with her own circle of relatives and works as a business controller.

Per The Sun, she has long gone on to say that "My family has a lot of anger and a lot of hatred toward her (Montgomery)." Alisa's younger sister Bethany agrees and mentioned in a 2000 interview that "I just think (Montgomery) got away with it." Bustle notes that Bethany has a daughter, Betty, that was once named after her mom.
