The preview began at a baby shower for Betty, who takes the time to say how ‘touched’ she is by Candy’s generosity, compassion and friendship.
‘You’re just a sweetheart,’ the late fifth-grade teacher tells her pal as the clip shows Biel’s character embarking on a months-long affair with her husband Allan Gore.

Chilling music begins to play in the background as Candy admits she feels ‘horrible’ to one of her friends about sleeping with Betty’s husband.
‘Candy, were were so close,’ Betty tells Candy in one scene, before friend-turned-foe brushes her off by saying she’s just been so ‘busy’ lately.
Footage then pans to Candy telling Allan that she believes Candy knows about their relationship and she goes on to pay Betty a visit.
The full story of Betty’s murder and Candy’s subsequent acquittal was featured in Texas Monthly as a two-part series in 1984. The reporting has served as a source for ‘Love and Death.’

Candy was ultimately charged with murder and released on bail with the full support of her church.
She hired Don Crowder, a lawyer she knew from the church, to represent her. They agreed she would meet with Dr. Fred Fason, a psychiatrist and clinical hypnotist, to help her remember what happened on the night of Betty’s murder for her trial.
Dr. Fason determined after a few hypnosis sessions that Candy suffered from childhood trauma that had triggered her rage as an adult. She told the jury that Betty had confronted her about her affair with Allan and had attacked her with the axe first, claiming she turned the murder weapon on her former friend in self-defense.
