@@kellyhersey2553he’s not been there the entire trial. I believe a defendant has a right to waive appearance in non-capital offenses. In the opening of the trial he did speak with the judge via Zoom. Personally, I think he’s a coward.
Totally agree. But, she is representing a absolute POS who refuses to appear in court. She is just doing her job. I've been curious if she is a public defender. Either way, I certainly do not envy her position..that's gotta be so hard to form any sort of arguement on AM behalf.
I dont understand why the f this women is acting like her holding a paper to the jury about a guy selling drugs is a smoking gun of some sort...like lady no one cares when this guy sold drugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He had nothing to do with your client beating his child!!!!!!!!!!! Stop wasting our time
@theresamorrison2638 , it is a waste of time. They've already established that he was given a deal from drug trafficking charges. This trial is about what Adam did and what she's trying to do, everyone sees through. Her condescending tone is not gonna help her cause. The jury has to like you, has to trust you. It's easy to see what she's trying to do and it's not affective. She's trying to say he's lying so he can get off and/or reduced charges. The jury is not gonna appreciate her tactics because a child has been murdered by her father, allegedly. They are not gonna care about his drug trafficking from years ago.
I think both Kayla and Adam should both spend the rest of their lives in prison! They both were there when the abuse was going on. I think it was Adam that did the beating. But Kayla did absolutely nothing to help her. And she could’ve told anyone. She could’ve gotten Harmony out of there! I almost wonder if her murder wasn’t premeditated along time ago for these losers to get their hands on her food stamps and child support money, so they could waste it on drugs! They both should rot in prison forever. Along with child welfare that didn’t follow up like they should have!!!
Or maybe Kayla had more to do with hirting or killing Harmony. She claimed Adam told her he "would take the fall for everything." To me, that means both were to blame equally, but one would be punished. Him.
Mothers living in a DV relationship will do most anything to “maintain” calm in the relationship. Including but not limited to offering their children to their partner for sex, to get drugs, assist in abuse… I have seen everything in my years as an investigator. No question Kayla was at least complicit in Harmony’s death. She loved Adam but did not love herself. She was also an emotional prisoner and both of them were heavy drug users. Kayla… got the deal. Make a deal with one demon to catch the Devil.
I'm leaning this way also, she admitted to hitting Harmony herself. It's he said she said. We don't even know for absolute sure how she died, we will never know 💯 🙏💖
The irony is not lost on me that although Mr Bodero is not a good man and lived/lives amongst the armpit of society and the hard core drug scene, he is the most likable, straightforward, no BS, honest witness so far. ❤
I have met some incredibly remarkable people when I was using. There were truly some caring, honest, straightforward people. Being an addict doesn’t always mean they are the scum of the earth. It’s typically just everyday people who are struggling with something they don’t know how to cope with.
“Right?” “Right?” “Right?” Defense atty really bugs me. Feel sorry for guy that gave them drugs. He does NOT want to take responsibility for what he didn’t do. Don’t blame him a bit.
He's not smarter in any way... 🤣 he doesn't even know what he's been convicted with and lied to a grand jury. He also smokes and sells crack... I'm questioning your intelligence now.
Just because someone has sold drugs in their life doesn't mean they are any less intelligent then a lawyer!!! Yes def stupid as far as doing something illegal however most of the time that's based on how they grew up and poverty and addiction
I can't believe no one called out this lawyer that Adams car was only 10 years old in 2020 not 20 years old. Why is no one calling out all her mistakes and the witness agreed. The jury must be so confused
@@zacharyo5033yes, itˋs a common practice. False Details, Timeline etc. I had to experience this during a lawsuit against my boyfriend one day before christmas last year. Facts were distorted, no one clarified it. I sat in the audience and was not allowed to speak. He was sentenced to 3 years in prison, we have appealed the verdict because facts were misrepresented by the opposing lawyer. (Feeling the urge 2 clarify that he doesn‘t hurt anybody nor did things near by that. ) Hope in the Harmony-Case they see the manipulation 😢 (I‘m sorry bout my english skills, i‘m not a native speaker - obviously😅)
It doesn't seem like it would be fair or just for an attorney to manipulate witnesses like that. It not only confuses the witnesses, but it in fact could confuse the jury, thus screwing up the verdict which is supposed to be based on EVIDENCE and FACTS.
I at first thought the defense lawyer was doing a fairly decent job but she is very annoying. She is badgering Mr. Bodero and he is cooperating and trying to tell the honest truth. I mean he is not a model citizen by any means but he sounds like he does have some compassion. He let them stay in his car. He brought them leftover Thanksgiving food and even bought them a pizza. I mean he tried to help those 2 losers (Adam & Kayla). They both deserve to be in jail for the rest of their natural lives! That poor sweet little girl Harmony. She deserved so much better! May she rest in prace.
Where is the defense attorney going with her questions? This man is not on trial; yet she’s been asking every question as if he is!!! Makes no sense! What is she trying to prove?
It annoys me that objections aren't made when Defence is behaving poorly. She wastes so much time Edit: after reading the comments bellow mine, I now get more of a gist about the situation. I'm not super familiar with this case other than true crime channels on YT. This case has been horrendous right from the start. Most of the witnesses seem to be high as FK.
If you’re speaking about Anthony Bodero, it goes towards his credibility. I’m not sure why the prosecution put him on. He directly contradicted some of Kayla’s testimony, admitted to lying before, & seemed less than honest about some recent drug charges. The prosecution didn’t ask him if he saw bruises on Harmony or evidence of abuse committed by Adam. They didn’t even ask him about his observations about how Adam treated Harmony or if Adam was acting strange during their stay in the parking lot of Colonial Village. He denied even knowing that they were there except for the two days they were in his Audi. I honestly don’t know what the hell the prosecution is doing. As a resident of New Hampshire I know most of us believe Adam is guilty & we’ve felt that way for years. But that prejudice is **not** supposed to inform the jury’s decision. If we are going just on what the state has presented then - so far - I don’t think they’ve met their burden.
Omg thank God you're not in the jury. The point was Adam was driving for him for drugs even in November and December and he's lying about saying he didn't sell them drugs around then, lying he only saw Harmony 2 x, and lying he didn't know they were living in the Sebring for 10 days in the parking lot of his apt. Remember when she asked about him giving them Thanksgiving dinner, and his lie that it wasn't the day after Thanksgiving, it was 10 days later when they were in his Audi for 10 days!? That was another way she proved his lies. Who would give leftovers 10 days after? Nothing any attorney says, asks or does is a waste of time / not for a reason. You have to think about it that way.
Omg this defense attorney is soooo frustrating! Why does she expect this man to recall every single time he’s seen “the boys”. She’s trying to have a “gotcha” moment and it’s not working
This defense attorney: I’d rather hear fingernails on a blackboard. Maybe if she’d lower the volume? Or whisper. Or quit hammering unimportant facts to try to impeach a witness. Or quit repeating things already established. Or mis-state facts. Be DONE!!
I have decided the defence lawyer, isn't defending anyone - rather showing everyone who met, or involved with Harmony's life is guilty of causing her death. He only wanted Harmony for her food stamps, and to get back at the mother, those in cosy offices choose not to care. There is a story called "Inspector Calls", I studied at school, I am reminded everyone has a part to play towards her death. I watching from UK. 233 children died during first lockdown, from those who suppose to care.
I wouldn't want the female defense attorney to ask me nothin. Not even for directions to McDonald's. Man, she's hard to listen to. She sounds so condescending.
Anthony seems like a genuinely nice guy. Drug dealer or not hes helpful and cares about people alot. Defence atty was an absolute dumpster fire. Good on tony for calling her out
No wonder this women is a PUBLIC DEFENDER cuz no one would hire her!!! Like read the room lady!!! Wow!! She just makes everything so weird and uncomfortable...drags everything out for no reason..gets all the info wrong and is flat out rude and condescending when she is the one who gets facts wrong alot!!!
@@Dhamma_Nomad what does him being " credible" have to do with anything when the goof she is representing doesn't even show up for.court., he should be deemed guilty case closed and not put everyone through all this crap when he can even be there to sit through and listen to all the terrible stuff his poor girl had to go through... Coward
Kayla & adam are ate up for bringing Bodero into their bs ! That man was nice enough to let u sleep in his car !! & scanless people man i swear ! TRUSTNOONE
She’s trying to discredit him, make the jury think he’s a bad dude and can’t trust anything he says.. I think that’s a big part of a defense attorney’s job?!? From all the trials I’ve watched, seems like all the defense lawyers act like this one in some way.. 🤷🏽♀️ just my opinion tho 😊
Seeing the live chat, ppl saying Mr Bedro looks old for his age, is crazy. He looks good for 50! He’s the most likable witness. No BS, straightforward guy.
Saw a report on Court TV that said he refuses to come to court because he does not want to undergo the strip searches when leaving and returning to prison.
The only reason I’m glad he’s not there by opting out that proves his guilt. However it would be nice for him to have to face the music and relive everything that happened to her. But he’s a monster and a coward.
@@goldiegolden2254The real reason is that he has a tattoo on his face which represents that he is in a prison gang and has committed another murder. Not a good look.
You are so right. Hell what kind of grandmother lets her toddlers be homeless like Kayla’s mother did and even though she was not Harmony’s grandmother how could you ignore her too. Both these so called parents need life in prison.
Thank god the attorneys on Harmonys side r organised and put together.... she needs justice ❤..Adams attorneys are thankfully brain numbing and so unorganised
Istg it seems like they woke up, got dressed, and just decided they wanted to play lawyer for the day....all their 'facts' are read straight from paper. No look into the evidence whatsoever. I will say-he has the right ones representing him however lol
When defense was trying to insinuate that there was no blood showing when they did the testing of the car, that made me mad. The step mother never said he beat the child until she bled. You can severely damage a young child’s brain that would cause death without drawing blood. The father already admitted that he did something with her body! That she IS dead. He just doesn’t want to admit that HE did it!!
@teresamorrow2459 He pled guilty to those 2 charges because they are going to try and say She was left alone with Lil One to try and put doubt in jury mind. If she was left alone with her then Defense will say she had every opportunity to kill her and it gives them doubt and he walks. So then they can say she concocted the story and he hid body to protect her
@@GailKelly-k2k I got that from his defense. But, I don’t buy it. If anything, they are both guilty. I don’t believe would have covered up the death of his child if he cared about her! It was obvious that she was only useful for monetary purposes/ state funded aid/ food stamps for both of their drug habits. Those two boys are better off without either of them in their lives. You can’t do something like that to a child and think another child would be safe around either of them! Be it the beatings or the corpse disposal! Both are guilty!!! They both knew she had died!!
And the letting her lay in the pee. I'm thinking she prob didn't tell or ask for anything she was so afraid. Can you imagine being stuck in that tiny car with two parents high on fentnyl, heroin, crack?! Were they shooting up IN the car in front of Harmony? Just ugh. Who knows how they were when they were high prob didn't feel time passing they weren't stressed or worried or hungry. had a 5-year-old in the back who had to witness whatever behavior and I bet every minute felt like an hour in that car.
Im watching the testimony of the "drug lord" , even tho he provides for addicts 💔i mean his character is more legit than anyone iv seen on stand thus far 🙆🤷
@@MsChristinaLS exactly and even tho he was technically taking from the kids thru Kayla and Adam , I think he genuinely cared more about them then Kayla and Adam ever did
@@Cheesecurd2011even got them pizza, he seems like a genuinely decent guy alot of people are born into the drug world and never know any different than dealing
@@myshellee Omg thank God you're not in the jury.

@@theresamorrison2638 bordero wasn't on trial though! Rule#1 there is never an honest drug dealer or user. It was annoying how long it went on for ....sure defense has a job to do - defend a man who is so guilty that he can't even show his own face in court . He knows what he did to his little girl.
Why is the defence attorney acting as if Bodero is on trial for drug charges and driving without a license? Does she not realize he isnt on trial, he is a witness testifying in Adam Montgomery's murder trial what in the hell?
I’m guessing she’s trying to discredit his testimony?!? Make him out to be a non trustworthy person to the jury.. dont trust anything a drug dealer says.. know what I mean?!
This Defense Attorney... how did she even make it through Law school? Her questioning makes no sense or reason and her speaking skills are terrible.... agh, and, agh, agh.... geesh!
And the snotty 'ok' 'right' like she openly doesn't believe the person she is speaking to. I fully understand that every person has a right to representation. I fully understand what a defense person's job is for. What I don't understand or like, is the attitude that goes with some of these attys. Her Q'ing and purposely out to confuse these witnesses makes her look so absolutely dumb. I really appreciated Anthony not putting up with her sh-t! He stood his ground and called her out a time or 2 when he said 'don't get that confused with...'
This attorney has represented multiple people and I have not been able to find a case she won. 1. Kirkman Cassanaugh (guilty of 2 murders and life sentences around 2008) 2. Logan Clegg (guilty of two murders and life sentences 2023) 3. Adam Montgomery Gun trial (guilty 2023 with decades-long sentence ) 4. Michael Addison (accused of murdering a police officer) resulting in the death penalty as punishment when it was still legal in NH.
@@SSN-tl8vhwow! Thanks for that info! I guess she’s in for another big “L” on this case also! You would think after so many losses that she would try to reflect back on things & see if it could possibly be something to do with her strategy or HER! Guess she may be one of those people that thinks they are all that & a bag of chips! I think I would go pro se over having her as my attorney!
@@gypsyfox312 This comment makes me think back to Chandler Halderson and his defense attys. They sat there and barely said anything. They did however, make sure that prosecution dotted their I's and crossed their T's. I believe they didn't care due to not being able to defend the indefensible. I think Atty Smith should have taken a page from their books! Lol
Defense Atty Smith just has to HAVE THE LAST WORD! Direct/x/redirect is the norm but miss priss Atty chatty kathy over here, has to have a re cross exam almost everytime!! Well, AM cant say he had insufficient council. There's the silver lining! No reasons to file for appeal issues!
Mr bedero seems like a straight forward person who doesn't know anything. Just the way he talks and holds himself I'd say its safe to assume Harmony was never abused near him. I can't stand the defense she sounds so ignorant adam gets what he deserves with this public defender shes horrible
Does the defense team not have ANYTHING new to ask? They literally make us listen to the same question, same answer, over and over again! If they have no new questions, why ask?
Who cares what this guy’s record is.. is he on trial for killing his child or any child? NOPE!! He’s a ( was) a drug dealer, did he hold a gun to their heads to make them buy the drugs? NOPE!!! I don’t blame him for asking for immunity on drug dealing, look how she’s trying to use it against him . He’s not on trial. How many times does he have to say he NEVER had a DLs , or that he can’t remember when he sold them drugs, I’m sure most dealers don’t mark it on their calendars.
Montgomery‘s attorney is so annoying to listen to. I truly can’t stand her!!!!! She makes up scenarios in her head and tries to convince the people she’s questioning that’s how it happened. She knows her client is guilty of this disgusting heinous murder of his own daughter. I find it disgusting that she can represent a disgusting human being like Adam Montgomery. This is a Casey Anthony story all over again. Hopefully he doesn’t get away with murder like she did.
They knew it was cold in New Hampshire and they had kids in the car, but spent their money on drugs/fastfood vs getting a hotel room, then they’re begging everyone to jump them. Unbelievable. I cant even believe people like Adam & Kayla exist. It’s generational, too. Kayla’s mom actually sent her daughter & grandbabies into the winter cold to continue staying in there car because she couldnt provide them a place to stay. How are there ALL these adults and not one of them can do anything for these children? Where are Adam’s parents? They squatted in his grandma’s house. Harmony deserved so much better than these LOW LIVES she was forced to live with.
@@notsorryyouretriggeredI can see leaving the adults to their own consequences, but I don't understand someone who would leave her grandkids to live on the street or in a shelter. She's as bad as Kayla.
@LaCroixsaregood there's alot worse then ppl living in cars trust me it's sad poor kids see alot then they become a victim of circumstance and most the time end up doing the same as their parents sometimes they prove the system wrong and break the cycle but it's few and far between tbh harmony saved her brothers now hopefully they will have a better life
I just can’t imagine knowing that there are small children living in my car in the middle of the winter. I’d have made a call to DHS and reported them so maybe all three of them would be alive and well today.
I mean had he not let them stay there whos to say where they would have been I mean he cared when no one else did... but he ain't the type to call and get people caught up just how it is he made sure they were fed and warm
Such injustice and just another slap in the face that an accused defendant is given the option to attend court and face his accusers for his alleged crimes. How is this possible? Ridiculous, they should have NO rights at this time, none! Where were the rights of their victims?
@@jimmyparker2071 Thanks for sharing. I’m well aware of their rights, which I don’t agree with, and is the reason why I made my original comment. He’s still a total coward for not attending the trial thus far. I’ll leave it there.
I know Kayla didn't hurt that little girl because she has WAY more patience on that stand dealing with his female attorney day in and day out lol I would've already caught a case dealing with her fuckery!!!!
Regardless of if she put hands on her or not, ignoring a child that is being hit multiple times and is making groaning noises is absolutely abuse. Both evil
I bet kayla beat her. She's on something on the stand. She's no better than Adam. We need to stop giving women a pass in these situations. If you notice, her children were not beaten.
Adam's attorney is trying to make the witnesses feel like they are the ones on trial. She keeps bringing up illegal things they did. She's ruffling their feathers to make them feel like they're the ones who did something wrong. Though, taking food stamps out of Harmony's mouth when she's helping to keep them high *inadvertently with benefits* is so abhorrent.
Ya he took the food stamps but her druggie parents would of found someone else if he didn't trust that... I mean Anthony was feeding them all he didn't have to he made sure those babies were in a warm car at least
I have never seen such a parade of pathetic people. Kayla was nodding off. All of these people live such horrible lives. They drag their children through it all. The only one who seems to have had any compassion is Anthony Bordero. In spite of his criminal history he seems to have a heart underneath.
You're the only other person who said exactly what I thought about Kayla. She looked like she was nodding out the whole time. Barely could hold her eyes open. But shes in jail, how did she get anything?! Unless she's got alot of money coming in on her books and has connections. But even then, it's hard
@jennifers.3818 I don't know about New Hampshire, but in Texas they give prisoners drugs like Ativan to keep them zoned out. Maybe they gave her something. But she was a mess.
Adam & Kayla would have more help from people but since they are not kind & screw people or friends over, they don’t want anything to do with them. Shortly run out of people to help out! They even ruined Anthony’s car! Really telling that Harmony was not with them at Thanksgiving that year staying in Anthony’s car. I cannot fathom what they did with that child, so horrific, poor child, I know she is in a better, loving place now. ✝️❤️🙏. I hope NOT to see anymore trials in this county / town because the rules of bench approach every objection is ludicrous, they show jury evidence by hand & where is the projector? Most courts have the projectors that do not have to be in slide form anymore. Seem behind in times for sure.
Oh that poor Sgt. he just shook his head & rolled his eyes when the judge said lunch break! Just wanted to get done! That tall state lawyer, omgosh reminds me of all my great uncles on my Dad’s side, 6’7”+ one of my uncles had special made golf shoes size 15/16! Just my grandad kinda scared us when younger, he would grunt answers! All his brothers were so kind. I don’t see many men that height anymore. Was weird because my great grandmother, all their Mom, was 5’6”, but her hubby was 6’8”.
Sad that she even gets any type of publicity from her daughter passing since she wasn't her actual 'mom'. There's a cold place in hell for all that let this happen to her.....she should've been left where she received the most love-with her adoptive parents!!
@@kristeekelly2267Her child had actually been deceased for two & a half years DCFS was contacted by a friend “close to crystal”, then DCFS actually contacted LEO’s. Not Crystal. Let that sink in.
@@kristeekelly2267harmony didn’t have adoptive parents. She had foster parents who sent her back into the system for some reason and than Adam won custody in family court. Her mother tried to fight him getting custody and advocated for her to get adopted by the same family that adopted harmonys little brother. Her mother was not a saint that’s for sure but I do believe she tried to do what was best for harmony and it’s the system that’s to blame. What family court judge gives a convicted felon full custody?
@@jocelyndauvernay8210yes. And it’s not just that he was a felon. He had spent about 40 hours with her during her entire life and all were short supervised visits. Even during that visits there were concerns that Adam had “unrealistic expectations” of Harmony. The mom was in another court at the time and couldn’t be there for the hearing and they went forward anyway and the judge gave Adam full custody. Judge didn’t even require an inspection of Adam’s home, confirmation of his sobriety, or any type of transition plan (all of which are standard in a situation like this). It was completely outrageous but he won’t be held responsible as he retired.
As much as the defense lady is pissing me off, she did good with questioning kaylas mom. I was waiting the whole time for three prosecution to ask about harmony, how she looked, behaved, how did she interact with kayla and adam and the prosecutors did not ask. Smh
The prosecution has not asked anyone that so far. They seem to be focusing exclusively on the few weeks surrounding the crime and on the time when Adam hit Harmony at the house he shared with his uncle, grandmother, & Kayla.
For everyone confused there is the silver car. That was in an accident then there friend gave them a blue Audi. So two cars in question here. Silver and blue cars. If your confused by the witness not being able to remember what car. Because they did switch cars half was threw them brutalizing those babies being homeless in freezing weather
Harmony had a chNce if just one adult who saw the abuse acted on it! I believe the uncle of Adam reported the abuse....where was the overpaid state employees when it was reported? Maybe on vacation? Pisses me off. Why does thedfse en exist if they dont help. Sick.
Blame the top guy. The JUDGE, who thought Adam to be a fit parent, granting him full custody! Yes everyone has a hand in the neglect of Harmony's care. But Adam Montgomery physically did the redrum and the judge handed her to him.
Omg that defense attorney is horrible. 20 minutes of badgering a witness that knows nothing. All he did was try to help out a friend for a few days. That right there is why people shy away from helping people bad getting involved. Anthony has nothing to do with this case. Nothing
@@tracyfrederick5606 they do. But I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be proud of a drug addict, living off the system, having a bunch of kids, and being involved with the abuse and murder of a stepchild. But maybe she is.

She's Elaine Brederhoft's doppelganger 😳

Nothing either attorney says, does or asks is a waste of time. You're just not getting it.
@theresamorrison2638 , it is a waste of time. They've already established that he was given a deal from drug trafficking charges. This trial is about what Adam did and what she's trying to do, everyone sees through. Her condescending tone is not gonna help her cause. The jury has to like you, has to trust you. It's easy to see what she's trying to do and it's not affective. She's trying to say he's lying so he can get off and/or reduced charges. The jury is not gonna appreciate her tactics because a child has been murdered by her father, allegedly. They are not gonna care about his drug trafficking from years ago.
I am so happy with Anthony's testimony, calling out the defense attorney on her crazy tactics and confusing questioning. 🎉

For sure, they are both air heads😂....defense lawyer for this case.....it seems like all she says every other word is....um um um 😂😅
“um” and “ok” are the only words in her vocabulary!
I think both Kayla and Adam should both spend the rest of their lives in prison! They both were there when the abuse was going on. I think it was Adam that did the beating. But Kayla did absolutely nothing to help her. And she could’ve told anyone. She could’ve gotten Harmony out of there! I almost wonder if her murder wasn’t premeditated along time ago for these losers to get their hands on her food stamps and child support money, so they could waste it on drugs! They both should rot in prison forever. Along with child welfare that didn’t follow up like they should have!!!
Or maybe Kayla had more to do with hirting or killing Harmony. She claimed Adam told her he "would take the fall for everything." To me, that means both were to blame equally, but one would be punished. Him.
U are right I agree one hundred
I agree @@jenniferdavis8313
Mothers living in a DV relationship will do most anything to “maintain” calm in the relationship. Including but not limited to offering their children to their partner for sex, to get drugs, assist in abuse… I have seen everything in my years as an investigator. No question Kayla was at least complicit in Harmony’s death. She loved Adam but did not love herself. She was also an emotional prisoner and both of them were heavy drug users. Kayla… got the deal. Make a deal with one demon to catch the Devil.
I'm leaning this way also, she admitted to hitting Harmony herself. It's he said she said. We don't even know for absolute sure how she died, we will never know 💯 🙏💖
The irony is not lost on me that although Mr Bodero is not a good man and lived/lives amongst the armpit of society and the hard core drug scene, he is the most likable, straightforward, no BS, honest witness so far. ❤
I have met some incredibly remarkable people when I was using. There were truly some caring, honest, straightforward people. Being an addict doesn’t always mean they are the scum of the earth. It’s typically just everyday people who are struggling with something they don’t know how to cope with.
Uh wrong. She proved he was lying. SMH.
@@theresamorrison2638how? How exactly did she prove he was lying? All she did was spew confusing, misconstrued info, none of it made any sense
Lolol, the armpit of society! But your right cool and relatable
“Right?” “Right?” “Right?” Defense atty really bugs me. Feel sorry for guy that gave them drugs. He does NOT want to take responsibility for what he didn’t do. Don’t blame him a bit.
Her saying "right" and "ok" in that condescending tone enrages me.
Don’t forget hers uhs and ums… 🙄
This is so pissing me off!!! I can't believe the prosecutor isn't doing a damn thing!!!😡
M-kays too lol @@amydaniels6442
They point she is making is he is lying.
A defendant should not have choice if he/she wants to be at there trial.. they should be force to listen to horrible things they have done
Remember, defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty by the jury.

He was not putting up with her bs lol
He's been the most authentic person in this trial.
@@NatashaSnell no, not at all.
@@theroxygirl731 I agree!
I love how Anthony holds himself with this quack defense lawyer I believe he's telling the truth too
I find it funny that this old guy former drug dealer seems a way smarter than the defense lawyer, and is about to freak out from her mistakes.
Yessss omg love this dude. He’s like girlll what??? No. That’s wrong 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@rrt401 oh my good lord. Go back to keeping up with the Kardashians.
He's not smarter in any way... 🤣 he doesn't even know what he's been convicted with and lied to a grand jury. He also smokes and sells crack... I'm questioning your intelligence now.
FACTS!
Just because someone has sold drugs in their life doesn't mean they are any less intelligent then a lawyer!!! Yes def stupid as far as doing something illegal however most of the time that's based on how they grew up and poverty and addiction
OMG that female attorney needs to be fired! She needs memory care.
Will seeing the report refresh your Memory? Yes but its NOT my report.....Defense looks so dumb
Yes a brilliant moment!
That was too funny😂
I can't believe no one called out this lawyer that Adams car was only 10 years old in 2020 not 20 years old. Why is no one calling out all her mistakes and the witness agreed. The jury must be so confused
She is an ass
That’s her entire thing, order out of chaos
@@zacharyo5033yes, itˋs a common practice. False Details, Timeline etc.
I had to experience this during a lawsuit against my boyfriend one day before christmas last year. Facts were distorted, no one clarified it. I sat in the audience and was not allowed to speak. He was sentenced to 3 years in prison, we have appealed the verdict because facts were misrepresented by the opposing lawyer.
(Feeling the urge 2 clarify that he doesn‘t hurt anybody nor did things near by that. )
Hope in the Harmony-Case they see the manipulation 😢
(I‘m sorry bout my english skills, i‘m not a native speaker - obviously😅)
I thought the same thing when she said the car was 20 years old! It’s simple math! She irritates me every time she speaks!
It doesn't seem like it would be fair or just for an attorney to manipulate witnesses like that. It not only confuses the witnesses, but it in fact could confuse the jury, thus screwing up the verdict which is supposed to be based on EVIDENCE and FACTS.
I love this guy-he did his best to straighten out the def. attorney!!! 💙
The prosecutors are so professional and extremely polite…especially when compared the the dragon lady defence attorney
The defense attorney is seriously jonesing for that “gotcha” moment from every single witness.
The defense attorney is acting like every witness is on trial instead Adam
They have to. They don't have a case. And there's a lot of damming evidence against him.
I at first thought the defense lawyer was doing a fairly decent job but she is very annoying. She is badgering Mr. Bodero and he is cooperating and trying to tell the honest truth. I mean he is not a model citizen by any means but he sounds like he does have some compassion. He let them stay in his car. He brought them leftover Thanksgiving food and even bought them a pizza. I mean he tried to help those 2 losers (Adam & Kayla). They both deserve to be in jail for the rest of their natural lives! That poor sweet little girl Harmony. She deserved so much better! May she rest in prace.
Anthony Bodero would’ve been a great actor for breaking bad
Where is the defense attorney going with her questions? This man is not on trial; yet she’s been asking every question as if he is!!! Makes no sense! What is she trying to prove?
It annoys me that objections aren't made when Defence is behaving poorly. She wastes so much time
Edit: after reading the comments bellow mine, I now get more of a gist about the situation. I'm not super familiar with this case other than true crime channels on YT.
This case has been horrendous right from the start. Most of the witnesses seem to be high as FK.
If you’re speaking about Anthony Bodero, it goes towards his credibility. I’m not sure why the prosecution put him on. He directly contradicted some of Kayla’s testimony, admitted to lying before, & seemed less than honest about some recent drug charges. The prosecution didn’t ask him if he saw bruises on Harmony or evidence of abuse committed by Adam. They didn’t even ask him about his observations about how Adam treated Harmony or if Adam was acting strange during their stay in the parking lot of Colonial Village. He denied even knowing that they were there except for the two days they were in his Audi.
I honestly don’t know what the hell the prosecution is doing. As a resident of New Hampshire I know most of us believe Adam is guilty & we’ve felt that way for years. But that prejudice is **not** supposed to inform the jury’s decision. If we are going just on what the state has presented then - so far - I don’t think they’ve met their burden.
Omg thank God you're not in the jury. The point was Adam was driving for him for drugs even in November and December and he's lying about saying he didn't sell them drugs around then, lying he only saw Harmony 2 x, and lying he didn't know they were living in the Sebring for 10 days in the parking lot of his apt. Remember when she asked about him giving them Thanksgiving dinner, and his lie that it wasn't the day after Thanksgiving, it was 10 days later when they were in his Audi for 10 days!? That was another way she proved his lies. Who would give leftovers 10 days after? Nothing any attorney says, asks or does is a waste of time / not for a reason. You have to think about it that way.
Omg this defense attorney is soooo frustrating! Why does she expect this man to recall every single time he’s seen “the boys”. She’s trying to have a “gotcha” moment and it’s not working
Driving me nuts! I really don't understand what she was getting at
I love Anthony's faces at the PD..yeah man we feel your pain!!!!
The way the Defense Attorney says "Okay" with a smirk after anyone answers a question annoys the living hell out of me.
Love how Anthony Bodero didn’t let the def attorney put words in his mouth! He might have priors but he’s a smart man & really wants to help
This defense attorney: I’d rather hear fingernails on a blackboard. Maybe if she’d lower the volume? Or whisper. Or quit hammering unimportant facts to try to impeach a witness. Or quit repeating things already established. Or mis-state facts. Be DONE!!
Or quit saying “OKAY”
That defense... they really want to keep the tow truck driver 'on call?' Wtf. 😆
Absolutely ludacris. I almost felt second hand embarrassed for her at that point
@@nikkijohnson4933 Same. Her attitude with Anthony B was cringe worthy too!
@@9babyblu Anthony's annoyance with her was so palpable ...first time I've ever fist pumped the air for a drug dealer 😆
Defense attorney is on power trip. Lousy attorney.
I have decided the defence lawyer, isn't defending anyone - rather showing everyone who met, or involved with Harmony's life is guilty of causing her death. He only wanted Harmony for her food stamps, and to get back at the mother, those in cosy offices choose not to care.
There is a story called "Inspector Calls", I studied at school, I am reminded everyone has a part to play towards her death.
I watching from UK. 233 children died during first lockdown, from those who suppose to care.
True, but theres only truly 2 people here to blame, Adam and Kayla
Mr. Bodero is wittier than the defense attorney. 😅 He is super credible and I love his determination to help the prosecution’s case.
I wouldn't want the female defense attorney to ask me nothin. Not even for directions to McDonald's. Man, she's hard to listen to. She sounds so condescending.
Anthony seems like a genuinely nice guy. Drug dealer or not hes helpful and cares about people alot. Defence atty was an absolute dumpster fire. Good on tony for calling her out
“Don’t get it confused” put her in her place dude. Don’t let her try to mess you up with the constant circular questions 5:34:00
No wonder this women is a PUBLIC DEFENDER cuz no one would hire her!!! Like read the room lady!!! Wow!! She just makes everything so weird and uncomfortable...drags everything out for no reason..gets all the info wrong and is flat out rude and condescending when she is the one who gets facts wrong alot!!!
This defense attorney is ridiculous and annoying.
The jury will have the same reaction! That's a strike against the defense.
I really dont understand what the defense was getting at when questioning the drug dealer
Credibility.
@@Dhamma_Nomad what does him being " credible" have to do with anything when the goof she is representing doesn't even show up for.court., he should be deemed guilty case closed and not put everyone through all this crap when he can even be there to sit through and listen to all the terrible stuff his poor girl had to go through... Coward
Just taking up air and time! 😂
@@Soulsurfermentality pretty much

Kayla & adam are ate up for bringing Bodero into their bs ! That man was nice enough to let u sleep in his car !! & scanless people man i swear ! TRUSTNOONE
What does bordero’s drug history have to do with Harmony’s murder? Or is this just to show that his a scumbag and she is perfect?
She’s trying to discredit him, make the jury think he’s a bad dude and can’t trust anything he says.. I think that’s a big part of a defense attorney’s job?!? From all the trials I’ve watched, seems like all the defense lawyers act like this one in some way.. 🤷🏽♀️ just my opinion tho 😊
OMG she is infuriating with these questions that are telling us NOTHING about the case!!
Seeing the live chat, ppl saying Mr Bedro looks old for his age, is crazy. He looks good for 50! He’s the most likable witness. No BS, straightforward guy.
Unbelievable they are letting Adam "opt out"
Saw a report on Court TV that said he refuses to come to court because he does not want to undergo the strip searches when leaving and returning to prison.
The only reason I’m glad he’s not there by opting out that proves his guilt. However it would be nice for him to have to face the music and relive everything that happened to her. But he’s a monster and a coward.
@@goldiegolden2254The real reason is that he has a tattoo on his face which represents that he is in a prison gang and has committed another murder. Not a good look.
But yet he shows up when Kayla testifies. He’s so gross.
Unfortunately it’s his constitutional right
EVERYONE ... EVERYBODY let this child down ... EVERYONE
You are so right. Hell what kind of grandmother lets her toddlers be homeless like Kayla’s mother did and even though she was not Harmony’s grandmother how could you ignore her too. Both these so called parents need life in prison.
@@kellypope782she probably lied to her mother after that telling her they found a place. Gaurentee she wasnt getting the truth
Thank god the attorneys on Harmonys side r organised and put together.... she needs justice ❤..Adams attorneys are thankfully brain numbing and so unorganised
Istg it seems like they woke up, got dressed, and just decided they wanted to play lawyer for the day....all their 'facts' are read straight from paper. No look into the evidence whatsoever. I will say-he has the right ones representing him however lol
Love when The detective shuts defense down....Watched it a couple times ...Lmao
When defense was trying to insinuate that there was no blood showing when they did the testing of the car, that made me mad. The step mother never said he beat the child until she bled. You can severely damage a young child’s brain that would cause death without drawing blood. The father already admitted that he did something with her body! That she IS dead. He just doesn’t want to admit that HE did it!!
@teresamorrow2459 He pled guilty to those 2 charges because they are going to try and say She was left alone with Lil One to try and put doubt in jury mind. If she was left alone with her then Defense will say she had every opportunity to kill her and it gives them doubt and he walks. So then they can say she concocted the story and he hid body to protect her
@@GailKelly-k2k I got that from his defense. But, I don’t buy it. If anything, they are both guilty. I don’t believe would have covered up the death of his child if he cared about her! It was obvious that she was only useful for monetary purposes/ state funded aid/ food stamps for both of their drug habits. Those two boys are better off without either of them in their lives. You can’t do something like that to a child and think another child would be safe around either of them! Be it the beatings or the corpse disposal! Both are guilty!!! They both knew she had died!!
And the letting her lay in the pee. I'm thinking she prob didn't tell or ask for anything she was so afraid. Can you imagine being stuck in that tiny car with two parents high on fentnyl, heroin, crack?! Were they shooting up IN the car in front of Harmony? Just ugh. Who knows how they were when they were high prob didn't feel time passing they weren't stressed or worried or hungry. had a 5-year-old in the back who had to witness whatever behavior and I bet every minute felt like an hour in that car.
@@SamiiGHasQuestionsthe thought of that absolutely breaks my heart.
The defense attorney just drags on. She is asking pointless questions. Her voice is so annoying.
Im watching the testimony of the "drug lord" , even tho he provides for addicts 💔i mean his character is more legit than anyone iv seen on stand thus far 🙆🤷
I agree. I would assume that most drug dealers wouldn’t care one bit if one of their customers had no place to live
@@MsChristinaLS exactly and even tho he was technically taking from the kids thru Kayla and Adam , I think he genuinely cared more about them then Kayla and Adam ever did
@@Cheesecurd2011even got them pizza, he seems like a genuinely decent guy alot of people are born into the drug world and never know any different than dealing

I love this Anthony guy 😂

R.i.p sweet angel .we will never forget you ❤ she deserved better.
I dont understand why any of the defense questions have anything to do with the murder. Why isnt the state objecting, for rlevance?
Why is the defence attorney acting as if Bodero is on trial for drug charges and driving without a license? Does she not realize he isnt on trial, he is a witness testifying in Adam Montgomery's murder trial what in the hell?
I felt so uncomfortable listening to her questions I had to bypass the last part. He was not on trial.
I’m guessing she’s trying to discredit his testimony?!? Make him out to be a non trustworthy person to the jury.. dont trust anything a drug dealer says.. know what I mean?!
Would looking at the report help your memory?
Well it didnt the last time so no. I laughed out loud at that.

This Defense Attorney... how did she even make it through Law school? Her questioning makes no sense or reason and her speaking skills are terrible.... agh, and, agh, agh.... geesh!
And the snotty 'ok' 'right' like she openly doesn't believe the person she is speaking to. I fully understand that every person has a right to representation. I fully understand what a defense person's job is for. What I don't understand or like, is the attitude that goes with some of these attys. Her Q'ing and purposely out to confuse these witnesses makes her look so absolutely dumb. I really appreciated Anthony not putting up with her sh-t! He stood his ground and called her out a time or 2 when he said 'don't get that confused with...'
This attorney has represented multiple people and I have not been able to find a case she won.
1. Kirkman Cassanaugh (guilty of 2 murders and life sentences around 2008)
2. Logan Clegg (guilty of two murders and life sentences 2023)
3. Adam Montgomery Gun trial (guilty 2023 with decades-long sentence )
4. Michael Addison (accused of murdering a police officer) resulting in the death penalty as punishment when it was still legal in NH.
@@SSN-tl8vhwow! Thanks for that info! I guess she’s in for another big “L” on this case also!

Guess she may be one of those people that thinks they are all that & a bag of chips! I think I would go pro se over having her as my attorney!
Maybe she knows her clients are guilty so she doesn't care
@@gypsyfox312 This comment makes me think back to Chandler Halderson and his defense attys. They sat there and barely said anything. They did however, make sure that prosecution dotted their I's and crossed their T's. I believe they didn't care due to not being able to defend the indefensible. I think Atty Smith should have taken a page from their books! Lol
Yeah, I totally agree, I Liked Anthony Bodero! He made Sure the DG knew he couldn't be played.
I wouldn’t want to piss Mr. Bordeo off in any way!!!
Defense Atty Smith just has to HAVE THE LAST WORD! Direct/x/redirect is the norm but miss priss Atty chatty kathy over here, has to have a re cross exam almost everytime!! Well, AM cant say he had insufficient council. There's the silver lining! No reasons to file for appeal issues!
Mr bedero seems like a straight forward person who doesn't know anything. Just the way he talks and holds himself I'd say its safe to assume Harmony was never abused near him. I can't stand the defense she sounds so ignorant adam gets what he deserves with this public defender shes horrible
The defense lawyer makes me want to SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okkk.. okkkk… that’s all she says.
How can thee mics pick up whispering but not someone talking at normal volume?? 🤔
Does the defense team not have ANYTHING new to ask? They literally make us listen to the same question, same answer, over and over again! If they have no new questions, why ask?
Who cares what this guy’s record is.. is he on trial for killing his child or any child? NOPE!! He’s a ( was) a drug dealer, did he hold a gun to their heads to make them buy the drugs? NOPE!!! I don’t blame him for asking for immunity on drug dealing, look how she’s trying to use it against him . He’s not on trial. How many times does he have to say he NEVER had a DLs , or that he can’t remember when he sold them drugs, I’m sure most dealers don’t mark it on their calendars.
Montgomery‘s attorney is so annoying to listen to. I truly can’t stand her!!!!! She makes up scenarios in her head and tries to convince the people she’s questioning that’s how it happened. She knows her client is guilty of this disgusting heinous murder of his own daughter. I find it disgusting that she can represent a disgusting human being like Adam Montgomery. This is a Casey Anthony story all over again. Hopefully he doesn’t get away with murder like she did.
All these druggies,and none of them thought to get the children help. Only to help the drug addicts not get sick,the mentality of society now...SAD❗️
They knew it was cold in New Hampshire and they had kids in the car, but spent their money on drugs/fastfood vs getting a hotel room, then they’re begging everyone to jump them. Unbelievable. I cant even believe people like Adam & Kayla exist. It’s generational, too. Kayla’s mom actually sent her daughter & grandbabies into the winter cold to continue staying in there car because she couldnt provide them a place to stay. How are there ALL these adults and not one of them can do anything for these children? Where are Adam’s parents? They squatted in his grandma’s house. Harmony deserved so much better than these LOW LIVES she was forced to live with.
@@notsorryyouretriggeredI can see leaving the adults to their own consequences, but I don't understand someone who would leave her grandkids to live on the street or in a shelter. She's as bad as Kayla.

I just can’t imagine knowing that there are small children living in my car in the middle of the winter. I’d have made a call to DHS and reported them so maybe all three of them would be alive and well today.
The boys are still alive

Such injustice and just another slap in the face that an accused defendant is given the option to attend court and face his accusers for his alleged crimes. How is this possible? Ridiculous, they should have NO rights at this time, none! Where were the rights of their victims?

I agree, I never could be that patient.
Regardless of if she put hands on her or not, ignoring a child that is being hit multiple times and is making groaning noises is absolutely abuse. Both evil
I bet kayla beat her. She's on something on the stand. She's no better than Adam. We need to stop giving women a pass in these situations. If you notice, her children were not beaten.
I think Kayla was hands on brutal with Harmony
This comment was more a dig at the piss-poor female attorney than giving Kayla grace.....
Katie Swango was an excellent witness. Kudos to her.
That moment you realize your favorite person is a converted drug dealer! 😂😂😂
Adam's attorney is trying to make the witnesses feel like they are the ones on trial. She keeps bringing up illegal things they did. She's ruffling their feathers to make them feel like they're the ones who did something wrong. Though, taking food stamps out of Harmony's mouth when she's helping to keep them high *inadvertently with benefits* is so abhorrent.
Ya he took the food stamps but her druggie parents would of found someone else if he didn't trust that... I mean Anthony was feeding them all he didn't have to he made sure those babies were in a warm car at least
The defense attorney is doing her job and tripping up Kayla and her many lies. She did good discrediting her.
Is the defense attorney just wasting time? Every single question she asks makes no SENSE as to why shes asking it.
I volunteer to resolve the Adam Montgomery penalty phase upon conviction.
I have never seen such a parade of pathetic people. Kayla was nodding off. All of these people live such horrible lives. They drag their children through it all. The only one who seems to have had any compassion is Anthony Bordero. In spite of his criminal history he seems to have a heart underneath.
You're the only other person who said exactly what I thought about Kayla. She looked like she was nodding out the whole time. Barely could hold her eyes open. But shes in jail, how did she get anything?! Unless she's got alot of money coming in on her books and has connections. But even then, it's hard
@jennifers.3818 I don't know about New Hampshire, but in Texas they give prisoners drugs like Ativan to keep them zoned out. Maybe they gave her something. But she was a mess.
The female attorney is so annoying. Why she is asking these stupid questions?!!
Harmony deserves justice! 💐
Why does he call her Criminal Swango? Doesnt he mean criminalist??
Adam & Kayla would have more help from people but since they are not kind & screw people or friends over, they don’t want anything to do with them. Shortly run out of people to help out! They even ruined Anthony’s car! Really telling that Harmony was not with them at Thanksgiving that year staying in Anthony’s car. I cannot fathom what they did with that child, so horrific, poor child, I know she is in a better, loving place now. ✝️❤️🙏.
I hope NOT to see anymore trials in this county / town because the rules of bench approach every objection is ludicrous, they show jury evidence by hand & where is the projector? Most courts have the projectors that do not have to be in slide form anymore. Seem behind in times for sure.
Oh that poor Sgt. he just shook his head & rolled his eyes when the judge said lunch break! Just wanted to get done! That tall state lawyer, omgosh reminds me of all my great uncles on my Dad’s side, 6’7”+ one of my uncles had special made golf shoes size 15/16! Just my grandad kinda scared us when younger, he would grunt answers! All his brothers were so kind. I don’t see many men that height anymore. Was weird because my great grandmother, all their Mom, was 5’6”, but her hubby was 6’8”.
Her biological mother was on the stand and didn't even shed a tear not one tear. That little girl suffered but no more shes safe and loved with Jesus
Agree " selfish" this story is horrific...no drug addicts should be allowed to have their children or dangerous felons. RIP Harmony 🙏
Sad that she even gets any type of publicity from her daughter passing since she wasn't her actual 'mom'. There's a cold place in hell for all that let this happen to her.....she should've been left where she received the most love-with her adoptive parents!!

Her mother was not a saint that’s for sure but I do believe she tried to do what was best for harmony and it’s the system that’s to blame. What family court judge gives a convicted felon full custody?
@@jocelyndauvernay8210yes. And it’s not just that he was a felon. He had spent about 40 hours with her during her entire life and all were short supervised visits. Even during that visits there were concerns that Adam had “unrealistic expectations” of Harmony. The mom was in another court at the time and couldn’t be there for the hearing and they went forward anyway and the judge gave Adam full custody. Judge didn’t even require an inspection of Adam’s home, confirmation of his sobriety, or any type of transition plan (all of which are standard in a situation like this). It was completely outrageous but he won’t be held responsible as he retired.
As much as the defense lady is pissing me off, she did good with questioning kaylas mom. I was waiting the whole time for three prosecution to ask about harmony, how she looked, behaved, how did she interact with kayla and adam and the prosecutors did not ask. Smh
The prosecution has not asked anyone that so far. They seem to be focusing exclusively on the few weeks surrounding the crime and on the time when Adam hit Harmony at the house he shared with his uncle, grandmother, & Kayla.
Why is Adam Montgomery in attendance? What makes him so important that he needn’t attend his court case?
For everyone confused there is the silver car. That was in an accident then there friend gave them a blue Audi. So two cars in question here. Silver and blue cars. If your confused by the witness not being able to remember what car. Because they did switch cars half was threw them brutalizing those babies being homeless in freezing weather
Harmony had a chNce if just one adult who saw the abuse acted on it! I believe the uncle of Adam reported the abuse....where was the overpaid state employees when it was reported? Maybe on vacation? Pisses me off. Why does thedfse en exist if they dont help. Sick.
Blame the top guy. The JUDGE, who thought Adam to be a fit parent, granting him full custody! Yes everyone has a hand in the neglect of Harmony's care. But Adam Montgomery physically did the redrum and the judge handed her to him.
@9babyblu the mother wasn't fit either. It's partly her fault. If you want to do drugs, don't have kids.
Defence is a joke, painful to listen to, is she really a lawyer 😅
Anybody else think Anthony looks like Sylvester Stallone?
Omg, both sides are pissing me off with this witness!!😡
Omg that defense attorney is horrible. 20 minutes of badgering a witness that knows nothing. All he did was try to help out a friend for a few days. That right there is why people shy away from helping people bad getting involved. Anthony has nothing to do with this case. Nothing
Kaylas mother. She must be so proud--
So, adults don't make their own decisions?
@@tracyfrederick5606 they do. But I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be proud of a drug addict, living off the system, having a bunch of kids, and being involved with the abuse and murder of a stepchild. But maybe she is.
Anyone thinking Elaine Jr is preparing him for ineffective counsel?
💯😳
“with regardS to” 😫😵💫🙄🙉
Bodeiro ran rings around the Defence lawyer . Does not deal in BS 😅😅😅 clearly
No sir no how
I loved seeing it, can't stand the defense attorney.
Kayla’s Mom Said She Asked Kayla (Not Adam), where Harmony was & we Never Got to Hear How Kayla Responded to that Question. ⚖️🕯️🎀
So glad anthony told the defense lawyer exactly how it was he wasnt falling for her crap 😂😂😂😂😂
