All I can think about is the horror of what this little Angel went through at the hands of these monsters both before she was murdered and after. I believe they should both be in prison for the murder of Harmony.
I agree with your comment! Kayla is just as guilty, in my opinion. How she could allow and condone these horrors is difficult to comprehend! Evil doesn't even begin to explain them! 😮😠
That photo of Harmony of her in a blue dress, she looks to be smiling , her smile doesn’t reach her eyes, it’s forced. She wasn’t happy. The pain in her eyes was heartbreaking 💔
I thought the same thing and I wouldn't be shocked if he gets off with this. After yesterday's witness Anthony, gave a totally different story to Kayla so which one is lying?
@@LisaEvan-mx2vl I think they should both be done with murder. She watched, if we are to believe her, while he beat a 5 year old to death and all because she was selfish and wanted him around for her needs and kids.
Whaaaa it took too long for them to carefully unwrap forensically protected materials for you. This isn't TV. It's real life. It takes a minute to protect the integrity of the exhibits.
@theresamorrison2638 It's the 300 unnecessary witnesses being called by the prosecution. Did we really need an entire day to discuss a fingerprint in blood? Or several ex co-workers to just confirm they worked with Kayla and Adam at dunkin doughnuts? And is it really necessary for the jury to hear from every single detective, investigator, and officer that stepped foot into the F.I.T. room to remove ceiling tiles. The Jury is going to be unbelievably exhausted from irrelevant testimony long before the defense starts calling witnesses.
All I can say is he got the attorney he deserves. She is one of the most incompetent people. If I was drinking every time she said um, I would be hammered 15 minutes after she started talking.
💯 And the snot clearing in the microphone is so disgusting… and then she sighs right after. Ugh. She is awful in many ways! He definitely got the team he deserved. 🤣
The female attorney needs to either retire or get a job as a greeter at Wally’s! 🙄 She is horrible but then when the dude can’t bother to show TF up for his own trial - why even bother - eh? He killed her and his be-ach let it happen. They both deserve to see zero actual sunlight ever!
It’s not just you. All she does is repeat things. I’m sure the jury is tired of that grating voice asking repetitive questions over and over and over. 🤦🏻♀️
There have been a lot of people on the stand so far but I found the forensic testimony by the professionals who processed the collected evidence very interesting
Same. I especially felt for Det. Lemy. I have no doubt he's haunted by this ceiling. Also, yesterday, didn't Kayla's mom have a different story regarding the saws? Seems Kayla was adamant that she kept the brand new saw under the kitchen sink, but her mom never brought up that as a place she keeps them. I wonder if they decide to prosecute her for Harmony's passing.
@@PositiveJuJuI really hope so. That guy Anthony gave a different story about Harmony. He said he never saw her or waved to her at his apartment building. Someone is lying.
Exactly! All of these people commenting yesterday that defense attorney asking pointless questions were IMO flat wrong. The whole point was to illustrate what you both noted here. Your some of the few who get it.
@@paulinedavis772they are all liars. What do you expect they are all freaking drug addict. Half of their drugs friends that they questioned don't even remember, because they spend the whole day doing drugs. They have no recollections of what's happening.
Ironically Adam feels his life in danger and the good state of New Hampshire in it's authority have chosen to protect him. Shame it did not put forth the same efforts for Harmony. WHO would place a child into the custody of a criminal DA and think it was in her best interests?
Any parent has the right to be a parent as long as they comply with what DCYF and the courts want from them. So why would Adam do 4 yrs of hoop jumping to kill her? I think Kayla did it and Adam protected her.
I really don't think 🤔 Kayla killed Haromy....I think Adam murdered Harmony. Who else can make the damage on Harmony's face ., black 🖤 and blue and swollen....poor little Harmony. 😞😩😅
This is the question everybody is asking: why he got custody? Apparently the family court judge who presided the case: mark Newman, gave custody to the bio father because the bio mother didn't show up in court that day ( because she had another custody hearing for another of her kid on that same day! Obviously she did not have great legal representation to avoid this overlapping)...the question as why the judge did not taken in to account that the bio dad was a massive felon, had killed, was a drug addict and was a violent person ...well, this is still to be unpacked, would love to see the court document of the actual custody deliberation. I think they should make a deal with the bio dad to find out how did he dispose of the body...
Lol. And all 75 detectives that were in the room when the ceiling tile was removed did a fabulous job giving the same exact recounting of one another. It's almost like we didn't need to hear all 75, we could have just had 2, the guy who cut the tile and the lead investigator on the case. I'm sure the jury were thrilled with the over explanations and repetitive testimonies. I do not envy them.
I feel like when the female attorney asks her questions they actually hurt her client. Her questions make the prosecution look and seem better prepared.
@@BobSmith-ll9oland the judge that gave Adam Montgomery custody of Harmony even though he had been convicted of murder in 2014, a career criminal and the CPS agent that didn’t follow through when the tip had been called in about her black eye!! He was so smug and condescending on the stand 😡
Agreed. And more sad the step mom even if she didn’t play a role didn’t stop the abuse and instead ate breakfast while that little girl was dead. Both are ANIMALS!
Adam should’ve been ordered to be in the courtroom. I’m sure that the defense was happy that Adam wasn’t there. Adam obviously has a horrific temper and no self control so I’m sure Adam would’ve gotten angry during the trial.
I don't understand it either. The judge can order it but I guess it's not necessary for the progression of the trial. He was so adamant about being there to prove his innocence though so I don't get why he wouldn't show up to atleast try and create reasonable doubt.
Imo, it shouldn't be allowed. If you're charged with such a heinous crime, you should have to stand before the jury, judge and lawyers! It sickens me, it's a cowardly tactic no doubt thought through with his defence team. The idea is the jury can't tangibly connect the evidence to the man. I just hope they see through their strategy and it backfires!!
Which would have shown exactly who he is. I think it would have been good to see, to read him and watch him. You can learn a lot about someone when you see how they react and how they behave. it’s a pity he was even given the choice to not be there. That’s infuriating. And the lady lawyer omg… she has got to be the most annoying person ever. Everything about her is irritating.
All this Caroline does is try to twist everyones words up leading to absolutely nothing as usual. Well, atleast the good thing about that is tha Adam has her as a lawyer.
I agree. She asks the most irrelevant questions. Did you used to sell drugs? Driving without a license? Like none of that proves Adam is innocent 🤷♀️. Yeah bad people usually hang with other bad people shocking huh. She’s ridiculous
You know what was more devastating for me. That those two monsters covered her with a blanket and didn't even bother to check on this little girl. I couldn't even sleep when I heard kayla testimony. 😭😭😭
Adam’s lawyers are ridiculous. The whole time questioning Kayla, never once did they ask if Kayla ever mistreated Harmony or hit her. Never asked Kayla about her relationship with Harmony and how she felt about Harmony. Never asked why Kayla was scared of Adam when she clearly stated that the first time Adam looked with evil eyes or whatever was when he was beating Harmony to death. Which clearly implies Adam never hit or abused her before he started believing Kayla was informing on him to police so why was she too scared to try to stop him from hurting Harmony that day in the car or the many times prior to when he killed her. There was so many opportunities to call Kayla out on why she didn’t intervene to help Harmony or if she ever did anything to Harmony herself. Testimony indicates Harmony was scared of both Kayla and Adam. You would think when claiming Kayla killed Harmony that the lawyer would question her on how she treated Harmony. There may have been hope for catching Kayla out lying and seeing her deal fall through so she could be charged. We all know if Adam was hurting one of Kayla’s children that she would not have sat by watching her child be beaten then do nothing whilst her child died on the back seat. Kayla was just as abusive and indifferent to Harmony as Adam was. If Adam’s lawyer was any good at all, she could have at least proven that with proper questioning.
Idk... they were both addicts so it wouldn't be uncommon for her to sit back while under the influence while Adam hit their other children. I also don't understand the defense. They questioned her about food and what she was feeding them and what food they had available to them as if this was a starving case. I know they're trying to make her out to be the bad person but they're not doing it correctly. They aren't asking questions that would paint her to seem guilty or for the jury to even question her own motives, thus creating reasonable doubt. His attorney is a Clown.
You're kidding right?!? The whole damn thing was about that! When she asked did she clean her clothes and underwear she did said no. Did she let her sit in clothes and underwear she peed and pood in. She said yes. What did they eat? She really couldn't remember then admitted baby cereal. Said the car always smelled got her to admit she never cleaned it because Kayla said 'it always smelled anyway.'. And in and on. And she did it in a way that stupid Kayla didn't even realize it. I thought it was brilliant.
@@theresamorrison2638I've had experience with addicts, and Kayla and Adam were seriously addicted. People with an addiction problem that bad make obtaining drugs their first priority. The sad thing is that this is just one couple. There are thousands of kids out there right now who are being raised by addicts. Social services is not well funded, and the case workers always have way too many families to oversee. I'm pretty sure that as soon as the boys got older and more rambunctious, Adam would have taken his anger out on them, too.
That retired lab man was an excellent witness! Very professional!! Had his full report WITH HIM! Looked at the jury when answering!, clear understandable answers! Polite!! Organized! Well educated in his field!!
I have never watched a trial where the defendant was given a choice of being at their trial or not. I personally think he should be there even if he doesn't want to be there
It's their right to be there or not. As long as it doesn't hinder the progression of the trial, their lawyer can be there alone as their representation. I've seen a few trials where the defendant did not show up, its odd though. For someone trying to prove his innocence you'd think he'd at least show up.
Imo, it shouldn't be allowed. If you're charged with such a heinous crime, you should have to stand before the jury, judge and lawyers! It sickens me, it's a cowardly tactic no doubt thought through with his defence team. The idea is the jury can't tangibly connect the evidence to the man. I just hope they see through their strategy and it backfires!!
It pains me to even write this, but with all the moving of her body, I don't think there was much left of her body! This case is beyond disturbing! I hope and pray Harmony gets some justice. Let's hope that for once, the adults do the right thing because she was most certainly failed when she was alive! 😢❤🙏
They keep talking about the question of whether or not there was blood in the stains of the ceiling tiles. There wouldn't have been blood, because by that time, he'd put the body in the bathtub and washed it off and crammed it into the hospital bag. There would still be DNA from the tissue I would think.
@@Felicity2121What was left of her might be in a shallow grave somewhere, but no one knows because he rented the truck and turned off the GPS. They're never going to find her. Poor baby.
@@zxy78267I'm sure that satanic monster burned her remains 😭😭😭whatever was left of her. That monster froze her, thaw her and then squeeze all the liquid of her body😭😭😭as if she was a piece of clothing. Poor baby 😭😭😭😭💜💜💜
I don't know I would've thought the jurors need to see that ceiling stain right up close regardless of what the judge said was of no need. You can't expect a sketch of just the area nor a photo to have the same impact necessary to illicit the depth of belief in a juror that there is NO possible doubt of the defendant's responsibility in concealing Harmony's death at the very least.
I’ll never forget watching them remove the sealed refrigerator from the apartment building..I knew then something had happened to Harmony. How can a father do those horrible things to his baby girl?
@@theresamorrison2638 oh my gosh, thank you so much for clearing that up. I would never had known that had you not commented on my little ol comment. Where would we be without the likes of you setting the record straight and ensuring justice prevails. Thank you for your undying service in making sure that we everyday folk are kept up to date with the goings on in the world.
How can anyone do that to that sweet little girl? I know we shouldn't wish bad things for people but I hope he gets what he deserves in prison! Those guys don't like it when you hurt children!
The way she says ‘okay’ and you can literally hear the smirk in her voice, I’d have a hard time not mouthing off to her too honestly and I’m a ‘normal’ person.
@@Wildones-yy9dq 🤣😂🤣 I know what you mean! I'd probably get 24 hours in jail for contempt cuz I would go off! 🤣 She reminds me of Elaine from the Depp trail! 😳
Breaks my heart just hearing all this. And seeing these things. And realizing this beautiful little girl will probably never be found and that is just horrible. My heart breaks for crystal and all those who truly loved and cared for harmony. May God bless her soul and may she rest in peace 🕊️💗 please God give Adam the DP please
I understand that being an addict makes you mess up your priorities, but let's just be honest here, Crystal lost her children due to her own actions. Poor Harmony didn't stand a chance with these people as parents and step-parents. Harmony would have been safe and alive and with her mother. Had her MOTHER cared enough to put her children first. She didn't. All of these people are responsible for that baby girl's brutal murder.
I feel like I could compare fingerprints after witness, Martin Orlowicz. He did an amazing job with explaining the complex process of his job. He was a great witness!!
Defense is so bad, I’m wondering if they are purposely sabotaging their chances and trying to help the prosecution to ensure there is NO reasonable doubt whatsoever .. Otherwise, they have no soul and are as bad as the monster they are defending.
@@maryellenbrucculeri513I've thought the same, I mean even if I was a defense attorney there is no way on this earth I would even try to prove this monster innocent!!!!!!!
Two young people with a whole life ahead of them, that could have turned their life around for their children, but the drugs were more important for them. They both will spend their miserable life in jail. Two children are now orphan, because they will no longer see their parents again. I just hope to God 🙌🏼🙌🏼who ever is taking care of this baby takes good care of them.
If I was on the jury, I would want to see the exhibits up close. The fact that the little boys were almost directly underneath their sister's decomposing body is horrifying. The smell must have been awful.
5:45:06 it would be easy to assume if she was having accidents n they testified to not having many clothes for her, 4/5 pants make sense to her size 18 mo sweater clearly didn’t match the pants and could have been an older sweater or one of the boys sweaters as she soiled hers often. adam admitted guilt before the trial so he isn’t going to get away with this.
I really don’t like this defense attorney. Her voice is annoying and she’s condescending … although it’s subtle. She just goes over the same thing the prosecutor went over. Do you have any NEW questions? Why are you just regurgitating what has already been said?
i have lived in nh 25 years and i never thought the day would come that i would see the most idiotic s group of peoples in the same room as we see at this trial
they got evicted on 11/27….. by. 12/7. never hadissues w accidents prior and it took about 2 weeks to be done with it and angry at a 5 y old…. so much so that you unalived your own blood it’s sick. father of the year!
This defense attorney has used the same note for her evidence every single day. It’s literally the only thing they have. Yes Kayla lied to the grand jury. Yes Kayla wrote her thoughts down about betrayal and sex. Jesus Christ this is getting old. Does she not realize how bad this sounds and looks? I know they don’t have a ton of evidence but repeating the same questions about the same thing for 6-7 hours a day is insane
For the people complaining about Spanish speaking. The majority of US residents speak English but it is not the official language. Our country does not have an official language.
The chat has so many nasty comments and insults regarding the witness in need of an interpreter... disgusting and inacceptable. Troconis who lived in the US, who has a good job, still asked for an interpreter, it makes sense to be sure to understand statements and reply correctly
Because people think living in the states means they must learn English when it doesn't. This is why interpreters even have jobs here. The US does not have an official language. Just because we know English does not mean everyone else should.
Amen!!! And people have the nerve to wonder why the world is so ugly. Ignorance and bigotry at its finest. Probably didn’t even notice the man could understand and say words in English but they probably can’t understand he probably felt more comfortable dealing with the law in another language.
@@Kat3jsif you read @tdanielle23 comment correctly, the U.S. does not have an official language. If you don’t like it, perhaps you could try to change the law. Otherwise, deal with it 🤷♀️
Just out of curiosity: so far, who here thinks the state is meeting its burden & that Adam Montgomery will be found guilty based on the evidence presented in court? And who thinks the defense has sufficiently shown that there is enough reasonable doubt to find Adam Montgomery not guilty?
I think he will be found guilty. The state is doing the best they can based on the evidence they have and the quality of witnesses they are forced to present. But I think Adam will be found guilty because 1. Who admits to abusing their daughter's dead body 2. But doesn't show up for their murder trial? This is sus. I am certain the jurors hate Kayla, but she's not on trial, unfortunately. Can you imagine what they think of being forced to listen to this testimony while the accused doesn't even care enough to show up? This alone would show his guilt. He doesn't care enough to want to know what happened to his daughter or what others are saying happened...
Also, I think once all the witnesses are presented, the prosecution will summarize the salient and key elements and points referring back to specific testimony to clearly paint the picture of his guilt.
Off of what has presented thus far all we really have proof of is his finger prints being located on actual evidence where decomp was present. As far as actual proof that he solely was responsible for Harmony's death and was the sole participant.. there hasn't been any relatable evidence to the actual murder. Just the evidence of the aftermath. I think he's guilty and I also think Kayla is since he said he'd take all responsibility for her so she could continue to be a mom to their sons.. she stated that in her testimony on both days. There has not been enough presented to rule out Kayla. Adam has admitted to tampering with the corpse, and Kayla admitted on stand she helped move the body from location to location.. what neither have ever admitted to is the actual murder. Sadly unless Harmony is recovered I don't know if they can prove who actually caused her death between Adam and Kayla.
The state has a difficult case to prove. The defense is going to argue that Kayla did it. That is their only real defense. Ilwho knows how the jury will look at it? The prosecution has no body and all of their fact witnesses are terrible. The jury may come to the conclusion that the state didn't meet its burden of proof. 9ne thing I was wondering about was the day Kayla testified when she was practically n9dding off and barely opened her eyes during her testimony. I wonder if Adam is convicted if that will give them an opening to appeal.
When they do the evidence reports, why don't they include the origin of the item along with what they're testing? "That's a pink sweater." "Do you know where it came from?" "No, I don't." Arghhh
That baby girl got her karma on these animals! Within hrs of Adam murdering her with Kayla watching their car broke down. They then slept in Anthony’s car where the battery died. Her body fluids leaking out of the ceiling to her now telling the world exactly what these monsters did to her! I hope when this is all over that beautiful wanted loved baby girl can rest easy and do all she ever wanted watch over her baby brothers! She will forever be their 👼🏻
Almost forgot Harmony’s troll toothbrush was found in the truck after the car had been in a junk yard and parted out for yrs she made sure that tooth brush would be found with her DNA on it! I hope she haunts these 2 animals till they can’t take anymore and go crazy
Yeah, it doesn’t surprise me that much. I got beaten pretty badly, as a child/teenagers, and I can absolutely attest that often, the worse injuries are internal injuries. You bleed from the nose, but it just mostly hurt when it’s hands rather than objects 😢
He opted out of going to "court" because he doesn't want to be strip searched leaving and coming back to the jail......i believe its because he cant be bothered to hear the horrific things he did to his daughter.....sick twisted sociopath.
So again, the coward still isn’t in court day 6 can anyone tell me now Adam has decided to not turn up in court. Can he say on appeal because he did not appear in court he did not know anything what was going on in court and use that to get out of prison if you know what I mean ????? following from Australia and I’ve had enough of this Mrs Smith woman. Her voice is very annoying.
I don't think he would be able to use that for appeal. It's in the court record that he is asked everyday if he is coming to court or not. For whatever reason he is refusing to come to court.
@@tygressmomma hi im following all this from Australia 🇦🇺 so many Australian people are following this to your justice system should make him see this and not have a choice to be there or not and Thankyou so so much for your support in telling me that information I hope he gets his karma soon and that sweat little girl harmony rip 💜💜💜💜I think that Adam should tell them where she is so harmony can rip
@@lamiya900in the US, it’s our “right as an American” to have representation in court. Either by attending yourself or having your lawyer represent you. It doesn’t happen very often.
@@TheLostSoulsInitiativeI think that's just a flimsy excuse not to be there. Or maybe his attorney told him not to show up. He probably can't fake remorse day after day.
I don't know why the female defense attorney reminds me of Elaine (Amber Heards attorney), but she does! I even call her Elaine when I'm screaming at my phone as I've been watching this trial! 😂 Elaine! Mic! 🤣 Anyone else get the same vibes?
I wish so badly Harmony gets justice and unfortunately that would mean for Kayla to rot in prison. However how many years is adam looking at already with the charges he pleaded guilty to? Not including the weapon charges
People think him not coming to court is cowardly and it is but defense wise thats smart bc he has a teardrop tatt and an it tatt it would be hard not to see that and not think its susp.
Every civilian witness has been asked on stand to identify Adam by the same pic that is then shown to the Jury. And that pic is recent (a mug shot possibly) and shows the tattoo.
This defense attorney needs to have her license checked ! She does not need to be a lawyer anymore ! Why does she keep overriding what these state witnesses say ? These are law enforcement and crime scene investigators why do you think they are not going to speak up over you ? She has to be a "public pretender" as I like to call the court appointed pders lol !
First off I think with a lot of the evidence mentioned that he definitely tied to it. But Kevin alone said that Adam hit Harmony and gave her a black eye. So he has no problem with being overly hard and rough with her. I don’t how much Kayla played in treating her badly or abusing her, i see her more as she did nothing for her. She saw it, allowed it and went on it wasn’t happening to her or her boys so not her problem, not her daughter. So she is still guilty regardless. I also think Adam killed her, not Kayla. I say that because if he can beat Harmony the way he did then beat Kayla for what she did. If Kayla had in fact killed Harmony and he truly loved his daughter whose to say he wouldn’t have damn near killed Kayla not protect her. I think he did, and when hearing the all the stuff in the paperwork about what he did. Which was gone through and it was graphic and very laid out. I don’t think they’re ever going to find that precious little girl, he literally broke her into pieces and tossed her all an over. They are never going to really know where she is or how to locate all of her. It breaks my heart. And him being allowed to not be in his own trial to me is BS. I have seen this now a couple times over the past few months. And why should he be given a choice to be there or not. He should have to sit there. And if he was to act like a fool, it would show exactly who he is, and what he did. It was also give the jury a chance to see the man who is being accused and see how he reacts and how he handles the whole trial. That poor little girl was tossed away, and the sad thing is she had other people who wanted her. There was a family who wanted to adopt her along with her brother. She was also doing well in foster care with the lady who had her as a baby. The state should be held accountable and the caseworker should also be charged, the judge who allowed Adam custody should also be held accountable. More and more children are dying because the system thats suppose to help them doesn’t do a damn thing but watch them die. And they toss the file aside and move on. This precious baby was tossed aside by everyone who should have fought to save her. And what the hell to staying in a car in the middle of freaking winter with 3 babies. They could have done something, went somewhere or even stayed with the one friend who offered them a place. If they were so busy getting high they didn’t want to take care of their children they should have given them to family or something. I just can’t imagine. I do know about addiction and how people can be, but someone should have done something. Why didn’t he give her back to her mother. Something anything. It’s just one more sad death that should never have been. (Only relaying my own thought and feelings, not trying to be offensive and hateful.)
At 58 12 The guy sitting at defense table gets a look on his face then Suddenly Puts his hand up to cover something from the prosecutor Any guesses ???
Where did they find the cooler at? Because I'm wondering when Adam got rid of it and where he put it. Anyone know? Did Adam give it back to Kayla's mom after he didn't need it anymore?
Cooler was taken from moms house when they needed it for evidence. He didnt take the cooler with them......just stored that baby in there while they were staying with her mom.
I was just wondering doesn't seem strange to anybody else that this defense counsel seems to just be solidifying the DNA evidence and the forensic evidence against her client instead of disputing anything every witness she's just going over and verifying what the prosecution has just said therefore solidifying the evidence against her client I'm not sure if she knows what side she's supposed to be representing when is this defense Council ever going to represent an alternative Theory
Why didn't this psychopath just turn Harmony to CPS instead of killing his own flesh and blood? A five year old child. What he did to her is unconscionable. I couldn't watch this in its entirety, just bits and peices it brings me to tears how Harmony was failed by adults.
@@kylie-needs-a-holiday6636 Thank you for the information. Hard to believe but those are the wheels of justice. Sad, she will be reunited with her children.
If that can sparkle a little bit the hypocrisy of it, think that without Kayla there wouldn’t be ANY justice. No ceiling, no fingerprints, no blood, and no hypothesis for the location of the body.. bittersweet for sure, nonetheless Harmony will be remembered, which is not always the case… ❤
It sounds like the prosecutor has gotten the cold from whoever has been coughing since the beginning of the trial. Why wouldn't the sick person wear a mask?
I must apologise to the Defence lawyers. I was quite critical of the constant repetition , but really they didn’t choose this case, Their client they have is a Tool who doesn’t have any gonads , who doesn’t show up in court etc. I haven’t heard anything positive or nice about him and they have to try make a case of it and defend him. I too would be harping on and on and what the States witnesses say
Poor cops must hate going to court. Makes you wonder, does their subpoena get handed out at the station or to their home address. Be tempting to go on a long vacation.
I’d say this is the most disgusting thing I’ve ever had to listen to in my life. I don’t have to listen to it obviously, it’s like I just can’t stop. I cannot get it. How this father could do this. He must’ve been stoned out of his mind the whole time, that’s the only way anyone would do something like this. The battery of the child you don’t have to be out of your mind to do. But everything else-lugging around her body in a plastic bag and then a tote bag and a cooler; storing it in the pizza parlors freezer , oh my God it’s disgusting. all I can think of is demon possession. Hell is full of people like him and hell is a real place. And regardless of whether he’s demon possessed or not the reason he did this is because he’s ingested all these disgusting drugs, and what they do is open Your body to possession-one of these days he’s gonna wake up and I don’t think he’lI think he’ll ever forget or forgive himself. He will not make it in jail for long-that’s for sure. Unless they put him in solitary confinement.
sorry, but i picked up that the evidence tech had gum in her mouth on the stand, come on , otherwise im glad they did such a thorough job with all this large scale evidence
@@debraolson5063but does this prove how little Harmony died or just that he handled her body afterwards? That is to say, how do his fingerprints in the blood **prove** that he beat her to death? Because he’s already confessed to abuse of a corpse & tampering with evidence. Kayla admitted that she also handled Harmony’s body. Jesus Christ. I am getting really concerned about the state’s case and that little Harmony is not going to see any sort of justice. I live in NH & I’m getting pissed off.
@-the_autistic_samana- I think his uncle's testimony about Adam admitting to him that he bear her is the only real tie to him committing the murder. Kayla already fried her brains and she only came forward when she could use information to her advantage. That isn't going to help her credibility at all.

Thank you for taking the time to make these timestamps!!
Gracias for the time stamps❤
S absolutely ridiculous he can freaking choose not to be there 😮
All I can think about is the horror of what this little Angel went through at the hands of these monsters both before she was murdered and after. I believe they should both be in prison for the murder of Harmony.
And because we all agree they both played a part, I’ll bet no one is found responsible!
Sad she got immunity for her testimony but hopefully they find a loop hole and send her to life.
I agree with your comment! Kayla is just as guilty, in my opinion. How she could allow and condone these horrors is difficult to comprehend! Evil doesn't even begin to explain them! 😮😠
@@sythmc8600 😢
That photo of Harmony of her in a blue dress, she looks to be smiling , her smile doesn’t reach her eyes, it’s forced. She wasn’t happy. The pain in her eyes was heartbreaking 💔
I’ve never seen a trial that the attorneys are so poorly prepared. The time it takes to get the exhibits ready is ridiculous. That poor jury.
I thought the same thing and I wouldn't be shocked if he gets off with this. After yesterday's witness Anthony, gave a totally different story to Kayla so which one is lying?
I've seen a few and they always end up being found not guilty
@@LisaEvan-mx2vl I think they should both be done with murder. She watched, if we are to believe her, while he beat a 5 year old to death and all because she was selfish and wanted him around for her needs and kids.
Whaaaa it took too long for them to carefully unwrap forensically protected materials for you. This isn't TV. It's real life. It takes a minute to protect the integrity of the exhibits.
@theresamorrison2638 It's the 300 unnecessary witnesses being called by the prosecution. Did we really need an entire day to discuss a fingerprint in blood? Or several ex co-workers to just confirm they worked with Kayla and Adam at dunkin doughnuts? And is it really necessary for the jury to hear from every single detective, investigator, and officer that stepped foot into the F.I.T. room to remove ceiling tiles. The Jury is going to be unbelievably exhausted from irrelevant testimony long before the defense starts calling witnesses.
All I can say is he got the attorney he deserves. She is one of the most incompetent people. If I was drinking every time she said um, I would be hammered 15 minutes after she started talking.
💯 And the snot clearing in the microphone is so disgusting… and then she sighs right after. Ugh. She is awful in many ways! He definitely got the team he deserved. 🤣
@@MommaSmithshe reminds me of Elaine from the Depp trail. Seems as incompetent as her, too. 😅
@@charlotte_stevenstotally checked to see if it was the same lawyer hahaha
Maybe she is doing it purposely to not get him off😊
@@TheLostSoulsInitiative lol, it's kinda weird 😳🤣
The female attorney needs to either retire or get a job as a greeter at Wally’s! 🙄 She is horrible but then when the dude can’t bother to show TF up for his own trial - why even bother - eh? He killed her and his be-ach let it happen. They both deserve to see zero actual sunlight ever!
She sounds like Amber Heard's attorney!!
Yeah, is it a defense tactic to bore the jury to death? If so, she's on it
Ho Q…IKR…this needs to stop..but I guess it won’t only when others end it….😤
And....uh.... 🙄 I lost count how many times she does it each time. I wonder if her dog was stung by a bee?
Her incessant coughing drives me insane!! Why the heck does she not take cough syrup or a cough drop. 😬😬😬
Does that Defense Attorney listen to what was said before she even asked her questions? Or is it just me?
It’s not just you. All she does is repeat things. I’m sure the jury is tired of that grating voice asking repetitive questions over and over and over. 🤦🏻♀️
@@MommaSmithshe us so annoying 😡🤬
No she doesn't but then again I happy she is horrible he doesn't deserve a good one
@@MommaSmith facts, and she keeps getting it wrong then to 😅
@@MommaSmithyes her voice annoying and all she did was repeat .
There have been a lot of people on the stand so far but I found the forensic testimony by the professionals who processed the collected evidence very interesting
Same. I especially felt for Det. Lemy. I have no doubt he's haunted by this ceiling.
Also, yesterday, didn't Kayla's mom have a different story regarding the saws? Seems Kayla was adamant that she kept the brand new saw under the kitchen sink, but her mom never brought up that as a place she keeps them. I wonder if they decide to prosecute her for Harmony's passing.
@@PositiveJuJuI really hope so. That guy Anthony gave a different story about Harmony. He said he never saw her or waved to her at his apartment building. Someone is lying.
Exactly! All of these people commenting yesterday that defense attorney asking pointless questions were IMO flat wrong. The whole point was to illustrate what you both noted here. Your some of the few who get it.
@@paulinedavis772they are all liars. What do you expect they are all freaking drug addict. Half of their drugs friends that they questioned don't even remember, because they spend the whole day doing drugs. They have no recollections of what's happening.
Ironically Adam feels his life in danger and the good state of New Hampshire in it's authority have chosen to protect him. Shame it did not put forth the same efforts for Harmony. WHO would place a child into the custody of a criminal DA and think it was in her best interests?
The "system" most definitely failed her! 😞
Any parent has the right to be a parent as long as they comply with what DCYF and the courts want from them. So why would Adam do 4 yrs of hoop jumping to kill her? I think Kayla did it and Adam protected her.
I really don't think 🤔 Kayla killed Haromy....I think Adam murdered Harmony. Who else can make the damage on Harmony's face ., black 🖤 and blue and swollen....poor little Harmony. 😞😩😅
This is the question everybody is asking: why he got custody? Apparently the family court judge who presided the case: mark Newman, gave custody to the bio father because the bio mother didn't show up in court that day ( because she had another custody hearing for another of her kid on that same day! Obviously she did not have great legal representation to avoid this overlapping)...the question as why the judge did not taken in to account that the bio dad was a massive felon, had killed, was a drug addict and was a violent person ...well, this is still to be unpacked, would love to see the court document of the actual custody deliberation.
I think they should make a deal with the bio dad to find out how did he dispose of the body...
Wtf
Mr Orlowicz did a fabulous job with explaining that very conplex analysis of fingerprinting.
Lol. And all 75 detectives that were in the room when the ceiling tile was removed did a fabulous job giving the same exact recounting of one another. It's almost like we didn't need to hear all 75, we could have just had 2, the guy who cut the tile and the lead investigator on the case. I'm sure the jury were thrilled with the over explanations and repetitive testimonies. I do not envy them.
I feel like when the female attorney asks her questions they actually hurt her client. Her questions make the prosecution look and seem better prepared.
I agree! I can't say her inadequacies don't please me, I believe it will be to the prosecution's advantage!
the attorneys need to wear head microphones because once they leave the podium or turn around you can't hear them
Yes, I noticed the same too. I asked myself....is she defending him or is she the prosecutor?😂😂😂
I cannot stress enough how much I was dreading defense cross examination as the prosecution was going over DNA evidence with Katie Swanson.
I thought the same she was helping the prosecution
So sad everybody failed this little girl . 😢
You mean her caretakers
@@BobSmith-ll9ol Yes Bob all those who we’re responsible for her care and anyone who decided to look the other way .🌸🌺
@@BobSmith-ll9oland the judge that gave Adam Montgomery custody of Harmony even though he had been convicted of murder in 2014, a career criminal and the CPS agent that didn’t follow through when the tip had been called in about her black eye!! He was so smug and condescending on the stand 😡
Agreed. And more sad the step mom even if she didn’t play a role didn’t stop the abuse and instead ate breakfast while that little girl was dead.
Both are ANIMALS!
@@BobSmith-ll9olEveryone failed her since the time she was born, because her mother was a drug addict too.
Adam should’ve been ordered to be in the courtroom.
I’m sure that the defense was happy that Adam wasn’t there. Adam obviously has a horrific temper and no self control so I’m sure Adam would’ve gotten angry during the trial.
And possibly cause a mistrail
I agree. He wouldn’t have been able to sit still or quiet
I don't understand it either. The judge can order it but I guess it's not necessary for the progression of the trial. He was so adamant about being there to prove his innocence though so I don't get why he wouldn't show up to atleast try and create reasonable doubt.
Imo, it shouldn't be allowed. If you're charged with such a heinous crime, you should have to stand before the jury, judge and lawyers! It sickens me, it's a cowardly tactic no doubt thought through with his defence team. The idea is the jury can't tangibly connect the evidence to the man. I just hope they see through their strategy and it backfires!!
Which would have shown exactly who he is. I think it would have been good to see, to read him and watch him. You can learn a lot about someone when you see how they react and how they behave. it’s a pity he was even given the choice to not be there. That’s infuriating. And the lady lawyer omg… she has got to be the most annoying person ever. Everything about her is irritating.
All this Caroline does is try to twist everyones words up leading to absolutely nothing as usual. Well, atleast the good thing about that is tha Adam has her as a lawyer.
I agree. She asks the most irrelevant questions. Did you used to sell drugs? Driving without a license? Like none of that proves Adam is innocent 🤷♀️. Yeah bad people usually hang with other bad people shocking huh. She’s ridiculous
💯
She is giving Elaine vibes from the Depp trail. She's beyond annoying, but let's hope it works to the prosecution's favor.
i couldn't imagine having to be the attorney that has to defend him
@@LisaEvan-mx2vl I know we have to have them, everyone has the right to a fair trial of course, but I could NEVER be a defence attorney! 😳
absolutely devastating to see the stained ceiling from harmony’s body decomposing. that has been the saddest thing for me thus far 😭
You know what was more devastating for me. That those two monsters covered her with a blanket and didn't even bother to check on this little girl. I couldn't even sleep when I heard kayla testimony. 😭😭😭
I can't deal with the unpreparedness of these attorney's. Un frikenbelieveable.😡
Adam’s lawyers are ridiculous. The whole time questioning Kayla, never once did they ask if Kayla ever mistreated Harmony or hit her. Never asked Kayla about her relationship with Harmony and how she felt about Harmony.
Never asked why Kayla was scared of Adam when she clearly stated that the first time Adam looked with evil eyes or whatever was when he was beating Harmony to death. Which clearly implies Adam never hit or abused her before he started believing Kayla was informing on him to police so why was she too scared to try to stop him from hurting Harmony that day in the car or the many times prior to when he killed her.
There was so many opportunities to call Kayla out on why she didn’t intervene to help Harmony or if she ever did anything to Harmony herself. Testimony indicates Harmony was scared of both Kayla and Adam.
You would think when claiming Kayla killed Harmony that the lawyer would question her on how she treated Harmony. There may have been hope for catching Kayla out lying and seeing her deal fall through so she could be charged. We all know if Adam was hurting one of Kayla’s children that she would not have sat by watching her child be beaten then do nothing whilst her child died on the back seat. Kayla was just as abusive and indifferent to Harmony as Adam was. If Adam’s lawyer was any good at all, she could have at least proven that with proper questioning.
Idk... they were both addicts so it wouldn't be uncommon for her to sit back while under the influence while Adam hit their other children.
I also don't understand the defense. They questioned her about food and what she was feeding them and what food they had available to them as if this was a starving case. I know they're trying to make her out to be the bad person but they're not doing it correctly. They aren't asking questions that would paint her to seem guilty or for the jury to even question her own motives, thus creating reasonable doubt. His attorney is a Clown.
I agree she should of asked Kayla's mom if she saw bruises or Adam striking her. Or how the family interacted with each other.
You're kidding right?!? The whole damn thing was about that! When she asked did she clean her clothes and underwear she did said no. Did she let her sit in clothes and underwear she peed and pood in. She said yes. What did they eat? She really couldn't remember then admitted baby cereal. Said the car always smelled got her to admit she never cleaned it because Kayla said 'it always smelled anyway.'. And in and on. And she did it in a way that stupid Kayla didn't even realize it. I thought it was brilliant.
@@bonniebroach4721kayla mom only saw harmony one time, that's what she said when she was crossed examined. She looks like a ex drug addict herself.
@@theresamorrison2638I've had experience with addicts, and Kayla and Adam were seriously addicted. People with an addiction problem that bad make obtaining drugs their first priority. The sad thing is that this is just one couple. There are thousands of kids out there right now who are being raised by addicts. Social services is not well funded, and the case workers always have way too many families to oversee.
I'm pretty sure that as soon as the boys got older and more rambunctious, Adam would have taken his anger out on them, too.
That retired lab man was an excellent witness! Very professional!! Had his full report WITH HIM! Looked at the jury when answering!, clear understandable answers! Polite!! Organized! Well educated in his field!!
It feels like this defense attorney is giving a lesson on how the police correctly preserve evidence against her client🤔
Wow, I can't believe there aren't more people in the audience!
No one showed up for Adam. That speaks volumes.
I have never watched a trial where the defendant was given a choice of being at their trial or not. I personally think he should be there even if he doesn't want to be there
It's their right to be there or not. As long as it doesn't hinder the progression of the trial, their lawyer can be there alone as their representation. I've seen a few trials where the defendant did not show up, its odd though. For someone trying to prove his innocence you'd think he'd at least show up.
Imo, it shouldn't be allowed. If you're charged with such a heinous crime, you should have to stand before the jury, judge and lawyers! It sickens me, it's a cowardly tactic no doubt thought through with his defence team. The idea is the jury can't tangibly connect the evidence to the man. I just hope they see through their strategy and it backfires!!
The defendant should be their because lots of $$$ is being spent/wasted on this POS!!!!
@@ab41895 👏👏👏 good point!
If you were innocent you would make sure you were there . To me shows his guilt .
It pains me to even write this, but with all the moving of her body, I don't think there was much left of her body! This case is beyond disturbing! I hope and pray Harmony gets some justice. Let's hope that for once, the adults do the right thing because she was most certainly failed when she was alive! 😢❤🙏
Right.......as hard as it is to say whyyyyyy tf did he keep her with him like a trophy for months and months 🙈 lay that baby to rest.
I know it’s truly awful. Him putting her in shallow grave would have been better 😢 poor baby 🤍🕯
They keep talking about the question of whether or not there was blood in the stains of the ceiling tiles. There wouldn't have been blood, because by that time, he'd put the body in the bathtub and washed it off and crammed it into the hospital bag. There would still be DNA from the tissue I would think.
@@Felicity2121What was left of her might be in a shallow grave somewhere, but no one knows because he rented the truck and turned off the GPS. They're never going to find her. Poor baby.
@@zxy78267I'm sure that satanic monster burned her remains 😭😭😭whatever was left of her. That monster froze her, thaw her and then squeeze all the liquid of her body😭😭😭as if she was a piece of clothing. Poor baby 😭😭😭😭💜💜💜
I don't know I would've thought the jurors need to see that ceiling stain right up close regardless of what the judge said was of no need.
You can't expect a sketch of just the area nor a photo to have the same impact necessary to illicit the depth of belief in a juror that there is NO possible doubt of the defendant's responsibility in concealing Harmony's death at the very least.
Especially since day 1 began with The View!
When did judge say that?
I love the fact that so many of the witnesses seem so fed up with this defence lady lawyer and alsays have to correct her lol
Could listen to Martin Orlowitz all day, he’s great!
His testimony was excellent. When Connie or whatever her name is starts talking I don't have to use the mute button, my ears slam shut automatically.
I’ll never forget watching them remove the sealed refrigerator from the apartment building..I knew then something had happened to Harmony. How can a father do those horrible things to his baby girl?
Drugs did it and probably his up bringing. He comes from no.good family. The uncle was also in jail and you could see he also abuses drugs.
@@feliciadvargasI lost my brother-in-law and my sister-in-law, then their son, our nephew to drug and alcohol addiction. It breaks my heart.
He hasn’t even turned up. Surely that speaks volumes. Why doesn’t he just plead guilty and be done with it.
Right? Did you see the video where he said he couldn’t wait to come to court to clear his name?! 😂😂😂
Righttttt he's clesrly never getting out....he's already doing 70 yrs for the gun charges
Because we have a judicial system that doesn't say oh well let's just be done with it. Innocent til proven guilty....
@@theresamorrison2638 oh my gosh, thank you so much for clearing that up. I would never had known that had you not commented on my little ol comment. Where would we be without the likes of you setting the record straight and ensuring justice prevails. Thank you for your undying service in making sure that we everyday folk are kept up to date with the goings on in the world.
He should have to sit through the entire trial.
How can anyone do that to that sweet little girl? I know we shouldn't wish bad things for people but I hope he gets what he deserves in prison! Those guys don't like it when you hurt children!
Is it just me or is Adam’s female attorney’s voice sooo annoying?!
It's not just you, she's insufferable!
The way she says ‘okay’ and you can literally hear the smirk in her voice, I’d have a hard time not mouthing off to her too honestly and I’m a ‘normal’ person.
@@Wildones-yy9dq 🤣😂🤣 I know what you mean! I'd probably get 24 hours in jail for contempt cuz I would go off! 🤣 She reminds me of Elaine from the Depp trail! 😳
Everything about her is annoying
Elaine Bredahoff vibes...
Mr. McMahon is a very good witness.
Dude is this attorney like okay??? She is laughing and keeps back tracking and making mistakes and I’m just like holy crap, how unprofessional
Breaks my heart just hearing all this. And seeing these things. And realizing this beautiful little girl will probably never be found and that is just horrible. My heart breaks for crystal and all those who truly loved and cared for harmony. May God bless her soul and may she rest in peace 🕊️💗 please God give Adam the DP please
Well so far it only seems like Uncle Kevin cared
With a 6 mile difference on the road trip in the uhaul, I searched the map and I immediately was directed to the water. 😢
@@joditurrisi6004 if your talking about on Adams side of the family maybe...
@@beetleguise4922yes so far he's the only one who opened his mouth and showed concern for Harmony.
I understand that being an addict makes you mess up your priorities, but let's just be honest here, Crystal lost her children due to her own actions. Poor Harmony didn't stand a chance with these people as parents and step-parents. Harmony would have been safe and alive and with her mother. Had her MOTHER cared enough to put her children first. She didn't. All of these people are responsible for that baby girl's brutal murder.
I feel like I could compare fingerprints after witness, Martin Orlowicz. He did an amazing job with explaining the complex process of his job. He was a great witness!!
Defense is so bad, I’m wondering if they are purposely sabotaging their chances and trying to help the prosecution to ensure there is NO reasonable doubt whatsoever ..
Otherwise, they have no soul and are as bad as the monster they are defending.
@@maryellenbrucculeri513I've thought the same, I mean even if I was a defense attorney there is no way on this earth I would even try to prove this monster innocent!!!!!!!
Two young people with a whole life ahead of them, that could have turned their life around for their children, but the drugs were more important for them. They both will spend their miserable life in jail. Two children are now orphan, because they will no longer see their parents again. I just hope to God 🙌🏼🙌🏼who ever is taking care of this baby takes good care of them.
If I was on the jury, I would want to see the exhibits up close.
The fact that the little boys were almost directly underneath their sister's decomposing body is horrifying. The smell must have been awful.
I’m not surprised he found no prints on the cooler, it was used by other people for a couple years after Harmony .
How would you like to find out, after the fact, that you used a cooler that held the dead body of beautiful Harmony!!!
I don't even believe it's the same cooler. Seriously
And most coolers are textured.
5:45:06 it would be easy to assume if she was having accidents n they testified to not having many clothes for her, 4/5 pants make sense to her size 18 mo sweater clearly didn’t match the pants and could have been an older sweater or one of the boys sweaters as she soiled hers often. adam admitted guilt before the trial so he isn’t going to get away with this.
I really don’t like this defense attorney. Her voice is annoying and she’s condescending … although it’s subtle.
She just goes over the same thing the prosecutor went over.
Do you have any NEW questions? Why are you just regurgitating what has already been said?
Martin Orlowicz is like the super smart , super nerdy professor. I wouldn't doubt him at all!😂
i have lived in nh 25 years and i never thought the day would come that i would see the most idiotic s group of peoples in the same room as we see at this trial
I have lived in NH 38 years.... and I am not surprised at all....
The female defense attorney is horrible!
Defense lawyer should team up with Lady Amica Cream from AH vs JD’s trial.. they even look alike dammit 😂
Lady amica cream 🤣🤣🤣
I was just thinking that
Wonder? If Adam Montgomery is watching his trail from his cell?
Funny that I was thinking this as well
Hope Not.
I was wondering if he was planning to testify on his behalf, but since he hasn't showed up at all, that's probably a no.
I hope he is required to be there for sentencing and victim impact statements. He should be required to hear that.
He should have to sit through the entire trial. The jury should be able to see the accused.
This entire situation will not escape Gods attention. He know each and every detail. His judgment, will be very just.
they got evicted on 11/27….. by. 12/7. never hadissues w accidents prior and it took about 2 weeks to be done with it and angry at a 5 y old…. so much so that you unalived your own blood it’s sick. father of the year!
This defense attorney has used the same note for her evidence every single day. It’s literally the only thing they have. Yes Kayla lied to the grand jury. Yes Kayla wrote her thoughts down about betrayal and sex. Jesus Christ this is getting old. Does she not realize how bad this sounds and looks? I know they don’t have a ton of evidence but repeating the same questions about the same thing for 6-7 hours a day is insane
For the people complaining about Spanish speaking. The majority of US residents speak English but it is not the official language. Our country does not have an official language.
They're the same people that vacation in Mexico and don't know Spanish
I agree!
It makes me so angry that he's not sitting for the trial.😡🤬
The chat has so many nasty comments and insults regarding the witness in need of an interpreter... disgusting and inacceptable. Troconis who lived in the US, who has a good job, still asked for an interpreter, it makes sense to be sure to understand statements and reply correctly
Because people think living in the states means they must learn English when it doesn't. This is why interpreters even have jobs here. The US does not have an official language. Just because we know English does not mean everyone else should.
Amen!!! And people have the nerve to wonder why the world is so ugly. Ignorance and bigotry at its finest. Probably didn’t even notice the man could understand and say words in English but they probably can’t understand he probably felt more comfortable dealing with the law in another language.

Just out of curiosity: so far, who here thinks the state is meeting its burden & that Adam Montgomery will be found guilty based on the evidence presented in court?
And who thinks the defense has sufficiently shown that there is enough reasonable doubt to find Adam Montgomery not guilty?
I think he will be found guilty. The state is doing the best they can based on the evidence they have and the quality of witnesses they are forced to present.
But I think Adam will be found guilty because 1. Who admits to abusing their daughter's dead body 2. But doesn't show up for their murder trial? This is sus.
I am certain the jurors hate Kayla, but she's not on trial, unfortunately. Can you imagine what they think of being forced to listen to this testimony while the accused doesn't even care enough to show up?
This alone would show his guilt. He doesn't care enough to want to know what happened to his daughter or what others are saying happened...
Also, I think once all the witnesses are presented, the prosecution will summarize the salient and key elements and points referring back to specific testimony to clearly paint the picture of his guilt.
They created doubt in a lot of minds
Off of what has presented thus far all we really have proof of is his finger prints being located on actual evidence where decomp was present. As far as actual proof that he solely was responsible for Harmony's death and was the sole participant.. there hasn't been any relatable evidence to the actual murder. Just the evidence of the aftermath.
I think he's guilty and I also think Kayla is since he said he'd take all responsibility for her so she could continue to be a mom to their sons.. she stated that in her testimony on both days. There has not been enough presented to rule out Kayla. Adam has admitted to tampering with the corpse, and Kayla admitted on stand she helped move the body from location to location.. what neither have ever admitted to is the actual murder.
Sadly unless Harmony is recovered I don't know if they can prove who actually caused her death between Adam and Kayla.
The state has a difficult case to prove. The defense is going to argue that Kayla did it. That is their only real defense. Ilwho knows how the jury will look at it? The prosecution has no body and all of their fact witnesses are terrible. The jury may come to the conclusion that the state didn't meet its burden of proof. 9ne thing I was wondering about was the day Kayla testified when she was practically n9dding off and barely opened her eyes during her testimony. I wonder if Adam is convicted if that will give them an opening to appeal.
When they do the evidence reports, why don't they include the origin of the item along with what they're testing? "That's a pink sweater." "Do you know where it came from?" "No, I don't." Arghhh
👏👏 Mr Kevin
That baby girl got her karma on these animals! Within hrs of Adam murdering her with Kayla watching their car broke down. They then slept in Anthony’s car where the battery died. Her body fluids leaking out of the ceiling to her now telling the world exactly what these monsters did to her! I hope when this is all over that beautiful wanted loved baby girl can rest easy and do all she ever wanted watch over her baby brothers! She will forever be their 👼🏻
Almost forgot Harmony’s troll toothbrush was found in the truck after the car had been in a junk yard and parted out for yrs she made sure that tooth brush would be found with her DNA on it! I hope she haunts these 2 animals till they can’t take anymore and go crazy
And her DNA was in the refrigerator.
What I can’t understand is if he beat her that bad in the car why was there no blood
Because it doesn’t take much force to kill a little 5 year old girl, she probably had mostly internal skull Injuries 😢
Yeah, it doesn’t surprise me that much. I got beaten pretty badly, as a child/teenagers, and I can absolutely attest that often, the worse injuries are internal injuries. You bleed from the nose, but it just mostly hurt when it’s hands rather than objects 😢
Where the heck is Adam, that whimp..I thought everyone needed to face trial..
Maybe his attorney is getting on his nerves too.

I don't know why the female defense attorney reminds me of Elaine (Amber Heards attorney), but she does! I even call her Elaine when I'm screaming at my phone as I've been watching this trial! 😂 Elaine! Mic! 🤣 Anyone else get the same vibes?
Absolutely yes 100% lol
Definitely
💯
I wish so badly Harmony gets justice and unfortunately that would mean for Kayla to rot in prison. However how many years is adam looking at already with the charges he pleaded guilty to? Not including the weapon charges
No matter the outcome of this trial he will be behind bars for decades. I believe it's 32-75 years he's got.
I pray they pull her aggreement after seeing all the lies she told. On and off the stand.
I can not stop thinking about Harmony 😢❤
THANK GOD!
People think him not coming to court is cowardly and it is but defense wise thats smart bc he has a teardrop tatt and an it tatt it would be hard not to see that and not think its susp.
Every civilian witness has been asked on stand to identify Adam by the same pic that is then shown to the Jury. And that pic is recent (a mug shot possibly) and shows the tattoo.
@@Sunflower20810it does show that tattoo. I think they know he couldn’t be quiet if he was there… his temper would show and he’d be done. Coward 100%.
Rest in peace sweet harmony ❤❤
What is the defense doing?
It’s seems they are doing as lousy job possible. Perhaps they are trying to pave the way for an appeal based on their poor job.
@@Joshysjourneyor doing it so he doesn’t get off.
This defense attorney needs to have her license checked ! She does not need to be a lawyer anymore ! Why does she keep overriding what these state witnesses say ? These are law enforcement and crime scene investigators why do you think they are not going to speak up over you ? She has to be a "public pretender" as I like to call the court appointed pders lol !
GIVE ME STRENGTH! So unprofessional 😮
Does it bother anyone else that the TV is crooked, or is it just my OCD? 😅
I totally agree. It bothers me too. Severely.
The lady lawyer’s voice is so annoying
It's so upsetting they never told were she is .(Harmony body) Those monster's
Did they find Harmony's glasses?
If they did they didn't say, but by the sounds of the way he was hitting her they are probably long gone....
First off I think with a lot of the evidence mentioned that he definitely tied to it. But Kevin alone said that Adam hit Harmony and gave her a black eye. So he has no problem with being overly hard and rough with her. I don’t how much Kayla played in treating her badly or abusing her, i see her more as she did nothing for her. She saw it, allowed it and went on it wasn’t happening to her or her boys so not her problem, not her daughter. So she is still guilty regardless. I also think Adam killed her, not Kayla. I say that because if he can beat Harmony the way he did then beat Kayla for what she did. If Kayla had in fact killed Harmony and he truly loved his daughter whose to say he wouldn’t have damn near killed Kayla not protect her. I think he did, and when hearing the all the stuff in the paperwork about what he did. Which was gone through and it was graphic and very laid out. I don’t think they’re ever going to find that precious little girl, he literally broke her into pieces and tossed her all an over. They are never going to really know where she is or how to locate all of her. It breaks my heart. And him being allowed to not be in his own trial to me is BS. I have seen this now a couple times over the past few months. And why should he be given a choice to be there or not. He should have to sit there. And if he was to act like a fool, it would show exactly who he is, and what he did. It was also give the jury a chance to see the man who is being accused and see how he reacts and how he handles the whole trial. That poor little girl was tossed away, and the sad thing is she had other people who wanted her. There was a family who wanted to adopt her along with her brother. She was also doing well in foster care with the lady who had her as a baby. The state should be held accountable and the caseworker should also be charged, the judge who allowed Adam custody should also be held accountable. More and more children are dying because the system thats suppose to help them doesn’t do a damn thing but watch them die. And they toss the file aside and move on. This precious baby was tossed aside by everyone who should have fought to save her. And what the hell to staying in a car in the middle of freaking winter with 3 babies. They could have done something, went somewhere or even stayed with the one friend who offered them a place. If they were so busy getting high they didn’t want to take care of their children they should have given them to family or something. I just can’t imagine. I do know about addiction and how people can be, but someone should have done something. Why didn’t he give her back to her mother. Something anything. It’s just one more sad death that should never have been. (Only relaying my own thought and feelings, not trying to be offensive and hateful.)
I think he was getting a check for her and didn’t want to give that up
this is the johnny depp & amber heard trial all over again 😂😂😂 Defense attorney is ambers lawyers twin.
I like the young prosecuting attorney because when he swears a witness in, he doesn't end with "so help you God ". Keep God out of the courts!
Wouldn’t pictures of the tiles be enough to show the jury? Instead of opening all of the tiles?
At 58 12
The guy sitting at defense table gets a look on his face then
Suddenly
Puts his hand up to cover something from the prosecutor
Any guesses ???
I believe he was hitting the mute button on the microphone
Where did they find the cooler at? Because I'm wondering when Adam got rid of it and where he put it. Anyone know? Did Adam give it back to Kayla's mom after he didn't need it anymore?
Wasn’t her moms house where the police got it from
@@Kat3js ok, well do you know where they found it at?
@@Jess023 I have no clue
@@Kat3js ok thanks
Cooler was taken from moms house when they needed it for evidence. He didnt take the cooler with them......just stored that baby in there while they were staying with her mom.
I was just wondering doesn't seem strange to anybody else that this defense counsel seems to just be solidifying the DNA evidence and the forensic evidence against her client instead of disputing anything every witness she's just going over and verifying what the prosecution has just said therefore solidifying the evidence against her client I'm not sure if she knows what side she's supposed to be representing when is this defense Council ever going to represent an alternative Theory
I think she's doing it on purpose
I don't think that the defense attorney cares. She just repeats what the prosecutor says.
Omfg. The defense attorney dies nothing other than repeat everything that was said during direct. Could you just not please?
What was the point of the Spanish drywall worker ????😊
Adam can't even fake remorse
I swear this is such stupid question is no joke about a paper, she has no choice. Oh my gosh is terrible
I may have missed it... can someone tell me if anyone has testified to where the Igloo cooler was found when it was originally identified as evidence?
Idk what's worse...the DA hacking, the prosecutor who seems like a he just graduated and his dumb questions or the witnesses not being prepared
Does anyone know the date Kayla and Adam was arrested.
Adam was arrested on January 4, 2022. Kayla was arrested on January 6, 2022 for welfare fraud and again on June 3, 2022 for perjury.
This defence lawyer OMG her questioning is absolute ridiculous a lot of words with no substance .. painful word salad 🤦♀️
Can someone explain to me who the witness # 24 is? 4:48:30
he installed the ceiling at the FIT center
seemed pointless to have him there but 🤷🏻♀️
Why didn't this psychopath just turn Harmony to CPS instead of killing his own flesh and blood? A five year old child. What he did to her is unconscionable. I couldn't watch this in its entirety, just bits and peices it brings me to tears how Harmony was failed by adults.
He couldn't do that then he would lose the cash aid and food stamps he was getting for Harmony in his name
@bizzi They had 3 boys together, kayla has an older son with someone else and Adam had harmony
They had 2 boys and their last/youngest child is a girl
2 boys and a baby girl together. Kayla has and older son and he had harmony.
Did I hear correctly that Kayla Montgomery got immunity from the murder or her involvement?
As far as I know she was just charged for perjury and is up for parole mid year
😮
@@kylie-needs-a-holiday6636 Thank you for the information. Hard to believe but those are the wheels of justice. Sad, she will be reunited with her children.
If that can sparkle a little bit the hypocrisy of it, think that without Kayla there wouldn’t be ANY justice. No ceiling, no fingerprints, no blood, and no hypothesis for the location of the body.. bittersweet for sure, nonetheless Harmony will be remembered, which is not always the case…
❤
Oh my gosh that cop must be going dumb and dumber😂😂😂😂😂
It sounds like the prosecutor has gotten the cold from whoever has been coughing since the beginning of the trial. Why wouldn't the sick person wear a mask?
I must apologise to the Defence lawyers. I was quite critical of the constant repetition , but really they didn’t choose this case, Their client they have is a Tool who doesn’t have any gonads , who doesn’t show up in court etc. I haven’t heard anything positive or nice about him and they have to try make a case of it and defend him. I too would be harping on and on and what the States witnesses say
Poor cops must hate going to court. Makes you wonder, does their subpoena get handed out at the station or to their home address. Be tempting to go on a long vacation.

I’d say this is the most disgusting thing I’ve ever had to listen to in my life. I don’t have to listen to it obviously, it’s like I just can’t stop. I cannot get it. How this father could do this. He must’ve been stoned out of his mind the whole time, that’s the only way anyone would do something like this. The battery of the child you don’t have to be out of your mind to do. But everything else-lugging around her body in a plastic bag and then a tote bag and a cooler; storing it in the pizza parlors freezer , oh my God it’s disgusting. all I can think of is demon possession. Hell is full of people like him and hell is a real place. And regardless of whether he’s demon possessed or not the reason he did this is because he’s ingested all these disgusting drugs, and what they do is open Your body to possession-one of these days he’s gonna wake up and I don’t think he’lI think he’ll ever forget or forgive himself.
He will not make it in jail for long-that’s for sure. Unless they put him in solitary confinement.
This case and the Gabriel Fernandez case will stick with me forever.
Darn this Judge sure likes her breaks 😮
Every trial I've seen does 2 breaks and a lunch 🤷🏼♀️ that's a LONG time to just sit still and listen carefully
Most jobs have breaks like that lol
This is why I watch after the trial is done for the day. I can use 1.5 speed and skip breaks
They have too by law for the jurors.
sorry, but i picked up that the evidence tech had gum in her mouth on the stand, come on , otherwise im glad they did such a thorough job with all this large scale evidence
23 years in the state and no speaking english.unreal;

I been working missed since 11 ish. Anything important?
His prints were identified in the blood in the ceiling!
@@debraolson5063 thanks, I missed that! Justice for Harmony.
@@debraolson5063but does this prove how little Harmony died or just that he handled her body afterwards? That is to say, how do his fingerprints in the blood **prove** that he beat her to death? Because he’s already confessed to abuse of a corpse & tampering with evidence. Kayla admitted that she also handled Harmony’s body.
Jesus Christ. I am getting really concerned about the state’s case and that little Harmony is not going to see any sort of justice. I live in NH & I’m getting pissed off.
@-the_autistic_samana- I think his uncle's testimony about Adam admitting to him that he bear her is the only real tie to him committing the murder. Kayla already fried her brains and she only came forward when she could use information to her advantage. That isn't going to help her credibility at all.
