And they can subpoena a person to require that person to testify. But they can't arrest you to force you to testify. They can arrest you for violating a subpoena (hold you in contempt).
Apparently there is a right to not be there, but I’ve never seen anyone else have that right, or use it. I personally think he should be made to be there if he’s not going to take a plea deal and admit to murdering Harmony. It just proves that he is truly a coward. Imo it also proves that he’s guilty. I can’t imagine any innocent person facing these charges to not be in court. I pray he is found guilty and convicted for her murder and that Adam Montgomery will never be set free. He is a danger to society!
Can't pay rent to keep a roof over his children's heads but can fork over hundreds for lime at Home Depot. What a loser on top of being a murderer. RIP Harmony, I hope you are in a much better place now.
Adam is a coward for not showing up, but I think all of these witnesses would have a much harder time if he was staring them down and smirking at their testimony.
I agree , I dont know why hes choosing to stay away but I think its easier for the witnesses , he has clearly intimidated a lot of these people in his time
What is extremely disturbing is there is no sources brought to bear to make a little girl safe But to prosecute offenders over 2 years later expenses are not a problem.
Not following! Plenty of resources available. You had Judge Newman in Middlesex county in MA grant custody to a career criminal who prior to getting custody was involved in a shooting during a drug deal. The issue is putting habitual dirt bags away for years, not months. This animal should have been locked up way before, but our legal system is lazy and pleads case down to lesser offenses allowing scum bags to roam our streets.
That's because the United States social workers are responsible for children's safety instead of having investigators and law-enforcement protect a child. Our system is broken.
@@lisabelle7553 It's really awful and messed up. CPS usually doesn't do crap to help the kids that actually need help. They should do away with the organization and when someone is breaking the law by abusing their kids (or anyone's kids) people should call the police. They should of course give police more training in dealing with situations like that too. It seems like it would make a great deal more sense to call them, since they can actually do things like make arrests. CPS can't arrest anyone. All they do is try to make people sign up for services, and classes, and try to put kids into foster homes, which are more abusive than the homes they are leaving half the time.
@@lisabelle7553 america is a shhh show. weirdly most americans run around thinking the whole wide world is jelous of them, but its the other way around. i have only pity and fear, especially for the children!
Bless the heart of the property manager that helped Kayla. Intervening in a domestic situation is scary for anybody even the police. The fact that she helped Kayla is heroic in my opinion. It is a VERY very dangerous thing to do but it is the right thing to do.
@@lukin_ledbetter totally. I've been in a relationship like that and nobody would help me and so that really stuck out for me. People were so scared of my ex they looked down when I was there with him.
@@cr6661 thank you for your comment. Every time I say anything with compassion for Kayla people will jump on me here. But it's really hard to put ourselves in her shoes and I think she had very little confidence she was beat down so much that she didn't even stick up for a child. And now she has to live with that. I hope she can forgive herself truly I do because I don't see her as the real evil here I think she is redeemable.
@cr6661 unfortunately cps and aps choose the wrong cases to try to go after unfortunately.... I am a nurse and ran a home Healthcare agency and when APS got Involved it amazed me...they chose to go after people whom were completely innocent but the worse pieces of crap that everyone knew and was obvious they never did their job 😢 it was so sad it made me sick it was so hard to watch I couldn't imagine seeing the CPS agencies drop the ball... I mean in this case it's gross negligent... no wonder the worker isn't there anymore
Neither him or Travis will. They both know. Travis did so much to help Adam get that hotel and Uhaul. Read the probable cause its obvious. The state is letting Britney and Travis get away with SO MUCH it's gross
Court TV, I have been a fan since the 80s watching my 1st trial Claus Von Bulow..just wanted to say how much more i appreciate YT coverage of cases and your timestamps..painstaking details Im sure and it is appreciated very much!! The 🐐 of Trials!!
I’m on rewatch crew… I have to say, Travis seems to have turned his life around and was respectful, and seemed completely credible. Hope he continues to do well.
Too late. We are all saturated with information about what substance abuse can do to a person and their families and if you have a propensity towards violence than it’s a lethal cocktail. He’s finished.
I like this prosecutor , hes calm , methodical and respectful to witnesses , the defence on the other hand seems combative and repetitive , all over the place , but to be fair to them when you get a case that really cant be defended youre swimming in treacle
From the parade of witnesses throughout the trial, it seems as though many of the people in NH have addiction problems. Usually with that population, drugs come first.
Apologizing for letting her down is admitting guilt in possible lawsuits. My former mother-in-law was run over by a school bus, the driver wasn't paying attention on school crosswalk. The school principal said we could focus on grieving, they'll cover the funeral expenses. Afterward the school district said we're mistaken, and they never agreed to pay the bill. Even that was after months of avoiding us. At that point we hired our own lawyer, she didn't even have a headstone. My father-in-law told the lawyer he wanted the bill paid as promised. What he ended up getting was so much more than that I'm surprised he didn't have a heart attack. But that's why NH & MA won't do the right thing & that's why the school district here wouldn't.
I don’t even think that little angel had a chance with even her biological mother. So I’m with you a 💯 % the state did this little girl dirty and they should have to be accountable. not so the family gets anything in her death, but so the other little children that are put in similar situation’s have hope.
❤ And God Bless the foster parents who I pray will show them enough love to help them overcome all of the terrible abuse that we know about and especially the things we don’t know about. Hopefully the baby girl was young enough to forget who her parents are until she is older, or forever if she chooses. Those boys will always remember their sister. I’m sure they have missed her beautiful spirit and love.💘
My god… are these the only people that were ever involved ? Wasn’t there extended family…..grandparents, aunts, family, doctors, friends. …I mean additional to those who have already testified? This child never had a chance. EVERYONE let this sweet angel down!!!
poor girl was back and forth for her short life , its hard to believe there wasnt a single stable family member that could have taken her in , shame on them all, I think a lot of children got lost in the system during covid , even more than usual, same thing happened in the UK, children beaten to death in their homes with no eyes on them
Doubtful. Seeing how they turned out, it's kind of letting us know what their family is like and how they grew up. If they had good families they would've never had their children with them while they were homeless.
I hope and pray that his fellow inmates don’t touch him at all…. But make him look over his shoulder wherever he is, wonder if his food is safe to eat or if his liquids are poisoned….. this would be such a tormented way to “live”….
It's a shame they didn't have the audio. How he kept saying he wouldn't talk without a lawyer. He never was concerned where harmony was because he killed and hid her.
@9babyblu it was a part of a pre-trial ruling that the judge determined the audio wouldn't be used in court. I don't understand it either other than someone wanting to plead the 5th?? I wish the audio would have been allowed. Very revealing to me how much he wasn't worried about his missing daughter...
If I was in management of the restaurant that Harmony's murderer worked at and daily brought a bag that he kept in walk-in freezer, I'd be finding out and saying NO!! Who knows what would have happened.....
I would have at least been curious enough to ask about it. If that happened, AM wouldn't have brought it back tho. If he was sketchy when answering, I would have acted like it's all good then sneakily hid the bag to go thru it, behind a locked door...
All I could think of during that manager's testimony was just that (inquiring about bag) and the embarrassment (at the LEAST) of showing my face knowing there was no questioning/now aware of this travesty...
Should have been against Health Dept rules for that bag to be in the walk in freezer. So there's no reason why the manager didn't ask anything or do anything. The mini fridge at the motel that Travis opened up the fridge and looked in, but didn't open the bag is another person who seen but says he didn't.
I made a similar comment and got shredded for my opinion. Seriously, all I said was I would never wear a hoodie to court and people came for me hard! 😮 can't have a damn opinion anymore...
Seriously I cannot believe what Travis and Britney have gotten away with it's disappointing and disgusting!!! 😒 The probable cause laid it out but the state sure didn't. This is crazy.
I'm currently watching the defense question witness #39...why is this grown man talking to this grown woman like she's a child? Why are people like that
Kayla knows where Harmonys body is and I think she participated in her abuse. No stepmother in love with her abuser will protect a daughter that is not hers.
Possibly, unless Adam thought she would squeal. It makes perfect sense that he would not tell her unfortunately. Since the defense is trying to say that she murdered Harmony. If finding Harmony would prove her innocence and not facing Murder charges, I personally believe that she would tell where Harmony is.
I do agree 💯 that she was also abusive to Harmony. I’m sure she was showing her boys “some” affection (probably very little) but I don’t think she treated Harmony with any, not an ounce of love. I’m sure those boys were extremely neglected and abused by their parents as well and I’m so glad that she lost her rights to them!
She's guilty for not stopping it. No matter if the child is hers are not. No matter if she participated or not. She knew what was happening. Just another weak junkie looking for her next high. That's ALL she cared about and that's WHY she stayed.
Adams sure looks like he SO excited for his day in court as he claims he didnt kill his baby girl Harmony,,cant even be a man and show up in court ,,,,,
I can barely contain my fury, my sadness over this case. This poor beautiful girl. I have a 5 year old daughter and this breaks me. I dream about Harmony. I think about her all day. Adam and Kayla. Brittany and Travis. everyone disgusting pos involved… your time is coming. Fly High Harmony ❤ Rest in Gods hands. WE LOVE YOU BABY GIRL
I have great admiration for this man to do the right thing and tell all he knows even while it's showing his sad addiction. He has a job so maybe he's okay now,
For Travis? Omg you need to read that probable cause affidavit of Adam Montgomery. Travis is so complicit that it is crazy he is able to walk. There are even witnesses that went to police way before all this blew up and told them that Travis would get high on crack and start telling people that he HELPED ADAM dispose of Harmony after wrapping up her bits in plastic and going for a ride with Adam to dispose of her in a bunch of different places. Travis and Britney have gotten away with so much. I hope people read that probable cause affidavit. It's available from a Google search. It tells so much more of the story. It's absolutely terrifying.....
They are awful aren't they? They are making this so layered and confusing. Their questioning of witnesses is horrible. This case has always been a mess but this trial is all over the place. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed. I watch LOTS of trials and I'm disappointed so far in this prosecution team.
So Britney and Travis were at Adam and Kayla's apartment on 3/1/20. Then, on 3/3/20, Britney and Travis "run into" Kayla and Adam (with Harmony in the bag) at a hotel that all 4 end up not using bc of deposit rates. So all 4 leave and go to the Econo Lodge where Britney puts her card up for Adam and Kayla to have their own room for two nights 3/3/20-3/4/20. It seems to me that they planned this at the Union st apt days earlier. Why didnt the prosecutor or defense ask why they all went to Econo after "running into" each other at the first hotel? Sounds like all 4 made this plan at the Union street apt and met up to execute it using Britneys card so they could dispose of poor Harmony. The hotel was all set but bc **Britney didnt have her ID** the plan started to fall apart as far as the Uhaul to transport Harmonys body to Massachusetts bc she had the cc card but no ID and they needed someone who did. Probably feeling bad she spent all this money and that Adam and Kayla had trekked Harmony's dead body, Travis sprung into action to finish the plan and find someone who would rent the uhaul. Feeling bad his gf scrrewed things up by not having an ID, Travis called Brenden and got him to use HIS ID so Adam could get the Uhaul! Remember, TRAVIS asked Brenden for the Uhaul. He told Brenden that "Britney was moving" and needed it. He never said anything about Kayla & Adam. And Brenden did it thinking he was helping Travis & Britney. Then Travis went & got the Uhaul from Brenden, and then handed the keys to Adam so he could do what he had to do. You will not convince me that Britney and Travis "didnt know." I hate when attorneys leave unanswered questions. Its obvious to me they know more. They probably got them their own room bc they didnt want a dead child in her mini fridge. These people make me sick!
WOW that's so crazy..I didn't really put together the friends actions and events etc. Was more focused on Adam and Kayla...but what you pointed out makes so much sense!! They are all in cahoots...or at the very least know what's up.
They probably do know more, or at least suspected more. The hotel and getting the uhaul is just drug user behavior. If someone says they'll give a drug user some dope if they do xyz, they'll usually agree. And if both parties are users they'll spend time using in the hotel room before/after whatever the arrangement was for happens (in this case renting a hotel room& acquiring a uhaul for adam). Seen similar behavior many times in far less nefarious situations.
soooo Adam like to best on women and small children that couldn't fight back...and now not even show up for court...what a coward....and he said he couldn't wait for this trial to prove he didn't kill Harmony...what a crock from a coward
@@SquidSnuggles I wonder why as well. I believe that was what the attorneys were discussing over the break. She mentioned something about risking her life by being there...
The defense team makes my blood boil. Defending this monster is bad enough, attacking the witnesses is unfair and desperate. Let’s hope it doesn’t work.
The defendant has the right to a lawyer. If they don't do a good and thorough job it's grounds for appeal. I don't know about you but I would rather he have a good defense so he can rot once convicted.
@@tracyfrederick5606 I know he has a right to a lawyer who is given to him to protect his legal rights. However, grasping at straws by attacking state’s witnesses and putting forth absurd scenarios to make their client seem not guilty is going beyond that. To what purpose? Adam is a monster and society needs to be protected. I hope he receives “prison justice.”
@@joannepollak5843 it's all they had. There was literally nothing else for them to do. The only hope they have is to get that tiny glimmer of doubt. Anything less would be malpractice.
Hey… there are plenty of low education, low payed people NOT doing drugs who manage to care and protect, love and manage to live happy lives. Don’t throw them all under an umbrella of judgement
NH has one of the highest drug addict and opiod death rates in all the states, most of our healthcare workers are totally checked out because of it.. I left the field myself because of it.
Ok so I googled it. The defense argued before trial he utilized his right to silence by not answering policy's questions, and he wasn't under arrest st that time and it would be too prejudicial for the jury to speculate why he was being questioned and e Why he chose not to answer...so I still don't get it but that's why
Nicole Giles should have taken care of her isssue ahead of time! Her little hissy fit was uncalled for. This is about justice for Harmony and this woman is acting selfish. If she was worried about "her restraining order" so bad that she ducked court and they had to go find her and arrest her in order to get her there, she should have been an ADULT and let the court know about her concerns ahead of time. Shes had plenty of time to figure it out. Ridiculous. So many characters in this trial. Unreal. This lady thinks shes special and doesnt have to testify bc she dont want to. Grow up.
@@TeaSpiracy He is never going to get out of prison, but if she is really that afraid of him,I guess I get it. But let’s be grown adults and not wait until the day of court to straighten things out
Agreed! She lied, then contact DA in January. So she involved herself, claiming bc she's a mother. Yes, she should have discussed the order before all this. Everyone saw her face and little fit anyway. She's disgusting!!!!
@1:13:44 excuse me? All of the appliances are changed every time a new tenant enters the apartment I've had my appliances for 15 to 20 years why are we replacing appliances every time you turn around that doesn't make sense
If those are in shelters, they're not putting brand new in, they take them out, replace bulbs, run any cleaning cycles and refurbish before putting back in another unit
@@mm-xm6xm Actually I think it was mostly to get the cell phone And whatever else they might be up to. Things they might buy Or maybe even steal. I also can't help but wonder if the 3 of them planned to leave kayla or if they just did it.
I got the impression there is an underlying reason, valid to the Judge. I am only speculating here, she may be a witness in a totally unrelated case or more likely a victim of dv, herself. She was only brought in as an eyewitness to Kaylla's injuries and to testify to what Kaylla said caused them.
Most connected to Adam and Kayla didn’t want to testify even the uncle was Subpoenaed to court and testified he didn’t want to give evidence. The drug dealer Anthony was clearly annoyed by being in court and didn’t want to give evidence but was compelled to. All Anthony cared about was making sure he wasn’t in trouble, he made a deal to give evidence. No one seems to care that an innocent child was brutally murdered and they should want to help ensure Harmony gets justice. The worst quality of people in this case. Poor Harmony had no chance
Can the loved ones of Harmony sue the state of NH for gross negligence??? It should be co-defendant. When you look at the Take care of Mays trial and compare to this one, it is apparent that neither state protects their children!!
the "loved ones" ?? who? the grandmother who turned the lot of them away?? the mother who got pregnant AGAIN after losing Harmony?? the uncle who left that poor child in the hands of those monsters?? who are these loved ones who didn't do a damn thing when that poor baby was missing for two years ?? there are no loved ones.. NO ONE saw to it that that poor child had a fair shake, NONE OF THEM.. this story has infuriated me .. WHERE OH WERE WAS GOD how could a God allow such evil and pain .. ???? Forced to stand in a corner for hours? planet garbage every stinking one of them
Why should the family profit of Harmony’s death… Not one of them showed up for her especially on Adam’s side of the family. They all knew Kayla and Adam were hopefully junkies that neglected and likely abused their children.
@@doreenkemp2856I read Adams mom was 15 when she had him and his dad was 16. Mom gave him up at birth and his dad “raised” him (basically his grandma did). Adams dad has been in prison and now maybe lives in FL with wife and young children. There’s a good news article on all this and how Adam got caught with drugs at like 17 with his 30 year old uncle. The uncle who took the stand. Just all horrible stuff.
Yes, the abused becomes the abuser. No one innately comes into this world without empathy--so for those who do these types of horrific acts, it (empathy) was 'abused' out of them.
so she didn't want to be in court risking her own life by speaking against adam....makes sense to me cause he is very dangerous and know other that are just as dangerous
This poor little girl didn't stand a chance. Parents addicts, Stepmother addict, grandparents not interested, police and social worker lazy. She must have been such a sad and lonely little girl.
So, it's just horrible, even tearful that Kayla gets beaten by Adam but when it is happening Harmony, it's OK? Kayla left and took her children out of it. Harmony couldn't escape without help, but since Kayla and her children were not being beat, it must have been OK with Kayla.
Why Does He Get An Option, What A COWARD Not Even MAN Enough To Care About Someone Else Besides Himself,He Needs To Be Made To Come Face What He Has Done Or Get More Time Added For Not Coming To Court And For Everyday He Doesn't Tell Where Harmony Is More Days Added
RIP sweet Harmony. If anyone of us knew and where there, we’d save you in a heartbeat 💜 Shame on DCYF, the police, the mother in law, the supervisor and driver for Adam and Kayla (Who failed to call police for Harmonys black eye and assault on the driver), and the judge who awarded Adam custody and of course Adam and Kayla! They all need to be held accountable and then JUSTICE will be served 🌷🙏🏼
You should not impugn the driver, Rose Smith. She never saw Harmony. She was also probably one of the best witnesses the prosecution has put on. Her fear of Adam is palpable. She did a commendable job testifying to Adam’s explosive rage.
I saw a comment talking about the witness that looks pissed off saying "someone must not have went to the methadone clinic yet" I just thought that was a great comment lmaoo
My question is… if Adam is the father and was given the responsibility of Harmony, then where does he say she is? How and when did she go missing. He was telling people that she went back with her mother which was not true.
So if I really wonder why in New Hampshire the defendant does that have to face the accusation or accuser AKA New Hampshire of his crime. What a coward
I’m a little confused about the birth mother was she in treatment for 5 years or did she relapse several times?Why did it take so long to fight for this little one?
Bio mom (Crystal Sorey) was in and out of treatment. AM 🚫 her after her last face time just before that Easter. She called around about Harmony's whereabouts while she was in and out of treatment. At 1 point, CPS did call her and she did not call them back.
It’s to bad treatment facilities didn’t make detox and rehab for the whole family especially for those that are serious about getting their lives together then the daughter could have stayed with her mother. And I know these parents don’t want their children there why they’re detoxing, but they let their children be there when they were high
It will be very interesting to see who that witness is, if they testify. The state has brought out some really good evidence and testimony; I'm hoping Harmony gets justice. I also hope Kayla and the boys get help and can heal and recover from this. I wonder if the state will have a psychiatrist or someone like that, to discuss the effects on the brain, from the physical and psychological torment that Kayla was under. Domestic violence to that extent is beyond awful. I'm glad she was able to eventually leave; too many never do. 💔
By the time the prosecution is done calling witnesses, there won't be anyone left for the defense to call. They are calling LITERALLY EVERYONE! I'm not really sure what the 481 detectives, investigators, and police officers are going to say that's much different than another. Is it really necessary to have this many detectives testify to the same thing?
@-the_autistic_samana- right?!? It's ridiculous. If I was on this jury, I would be so irritated with this. They called several witnesses where they only asked a few questions that seemed completely irrelevant. I mean, the defense didn't even have questions to ask because it was so dang random. It's literally, " did you work with Adam Montgomery at dunkin' donuts?" Then they show his photo and ask, "do you know who this photo is of?" The witness responds, "Adam Montgomery." Then the prosecution is literally like, "No more questions for this witness." Do we REALLY need 7 different detectives that were all on the SAME scene giving their account of the SAME room at the F.I.T. location? It is redundant and they are exhausting the Jury for no reason. This whole trial is weird to me, though. They are constantly approaching the bench and not giving their objections out loud. I'm totally complaining and I shouldn't be because I'm not in the Jury and I am sure they are trying to give as much evidence as possible. It just doesn't seem very efficient.
I’ve watched this from the first day of trial. I’m first sickened that both of these selfish addicts may both get away with murder. Kayla knew that little girl was dead. Why buy three breakfast burritos? One for her, one for Adam and one to split between the two boys. They drove with her dead body like she was a wasted piece of trash. They stuffed her in a ceiling, squeezed, contorted her, stuffed her in freezers and refrigerators. They both are guilty. Kayla had plenty of opportunities to tell a friend, someone in the clinic, her aunt or mom but she didn’t. She may have later feared him -but that came much later. I don’t know that a jury will find him guilty because no one but Kayla said he did kill her and there’s no actual proof he had. They both should have been charged - because they both played a role in mistreating, neglecting, beating, killing, then mutilating her little body. Kayla will get out sooner than later with having gotten away with murder; and sadly I think he will not be found guilty of the murder we all no that bastard brutally contributed to.
I feel so sorry for the lady living in the place they stayed …. She really seemed upset to be there and I feel if Adam has the right to not be there why should she? Yes, I know her testimony helps this case, but is being there does too he’s a coward, a murderer and abuser and everything else in the book but he doesn’t have to show his face, but this poor woman that only knew them for a period of time living in a shelter, has a testify, and give all her, moments and time not fair just truly not fair and I really truly feel for her
Adam will not grow old in a prison in New Hampshire or a jail I can assure you of that. He will meet his end long before he's an old man. And when Kayla gets out of prison...... It's probably in her best interest to leave new hampshire. No one's going to hire her no one's going to let her rent a room or an apartment and a lot of people know who she is and what she hid for so long. And I hope when Adam meets his end it is in the most horrifying way imaginable.
i hope next trial i try to watch has better sound than this one....can't even hear half of what anyone says except the judge...i guess brooks trial spoiled me since we could hear all of it....ifs hard on a person straining to hear
Wtf do they have to keep pointing people out in the videos we can see them clear as day what are they gonna play this for 3 yr old children or something man cmon
WHY DIDNT THEY ASK KAYLA IF ADAM EVER HIT ANY OF HIS OTHER KIDS??? And if not, why did he only abuse beautiful Harmony???? This is just heartbreaking.. I wish more children could be adopted into nice homes with good parents instead of being stuck in custody for years and years waiting for their parents to get it together.. it’s not right..
Adam and Kaila both should be on trial. But they don’t have enough evidence without her testimony. I blame Kayla just as much as Adam. She is probably even worse. She continued to have children with this POS even after knowing what kind of a guy he was. Disgusting
IMO Harmony was failed by both her parents. Yes, Adam obviously was the way worse one, but her mother was not so great either. Never mind Kayla. How on Earth do you go along with this?
This prosecutor is not impressive.. he has no passion and is most concerned with portraying his key witness as a victim (Kayla), compare him to prosecutor on Vander Ark case. This guy should be reminding everyone this is all about the heinous murder of a little girl. I pray Harmony gets justice.
@@Felicity2121 Yes, and she is their key witness so he has to maintain that she was a victim too. But I think he places too much emphasis on Kayla's victimhood and not enough on the one true innocent victim, a five yr old girl named Harmony.
Apparently, she ignored a subpoena so was brought in. She has a restraining order out on someone. It wasn't said who that was. She was staying at the shelter so it isn't a huge leap to assume she was a victim of DV. The judge ruled that no video or pictures were to be taken of her. But unfortunately the camera had already shown her. It's too bad that Court TV didn't edit that part out for replay. There are a lot of women stalked and/or killed by exes. I would have been pissed too.
@@lilzabugi have a habit of writing comments before watching the video to the end. Ya I got that later so I understand why she was so angry. She was putting her life in danger. It's not right that they made her do that because they wont protect her!! In germany a woman is killed every 3days from her spouse/ex-souse and in america that statistic is way higher. Our world is truly sick. Its infuriating!!
The defendant should be required to be present during the trial. If the defendant is disruptive, they can gag him and tie him to a chair. He needs to be FORCED to be in that courtroom. I realize it's his Constitutional right but there needs to be an 'amendment' to the amendment. The defendant should also be required to be present during 'judgement day' AND sentencing. The only time where a defendant could be 'excused' from being present would be if the defendant initially pleaded GUILTY. But even then, they need to go through the humiliation of being present during the sentencing hearing. This guy is despicable beyond comprehension. I'm so looking forward to prison justice.

If they can arrest a person to make them testify why can't they force Adam to be present in court?

And they can subpoena a person to require that person to testify. But they can't arrest you to force you to testify. They can arrest you for violating a subpoena (hold you in contempt).
Apparently there is a right to not be there, but I’ve never seen anyone else have that right, or use it. I personally think he should be made to be there if he’s not going to take a plea deal and admit to murdering Harmony. It just proves that he is truly a coward. Imo it also proves that he’s guilty. I can’t imagine any innocent person facing these charges to not be in court. I pray he is found guilty and convicted for her murder and that Adam Montgomery will never be set free. He is a danger to society!
He's probably disruptive,causing trouble and they need to continue with court without that disturbance.
@@darlakenward6276basically same thing
All I can say is I hope to God these people never are allowed to be near children or be allowed to have custody of any children.
Can't pay rent to keep a roof over his children's heads but can fork over hundreds for lime at Home Depot. What a loser on top of being a murderer. RIP Harmony, I hope you are in a much better place now.
Nah he had to pay for dope
@jennifers.3818 and he had to chop up his daughter to stay free to continue to buy dope.
@@jennifers.3818 Exactly
I keep puzzling over this too…completely broke…must’ve found that $400 on the street…I don’t get it
@@aaronalmassy6901 That's the only thing that makes sense to me as well.
Adam is a coward for not showing up, but I think all of these witnesses would have a much harder time if he was staring them down and smirking at their testimony.
I don't think he can control his temper enough to hear what they have to say
Yes because a majority of them were or are addicts or dealers.
I'd love to see Adam pull that with any real man. 😂 I'd like nothing more.
I agree , I dont know why hes choosing to stay away but I think its easier for the witnesses , he has clearly intimidated a lot of these people in his time
Especially his ex wife
What is extremely disturbing is there is no sources brought to bear to make a little girl safe But to prosecute offenders over 2 years later expenses are not a problem.
Not following! Plenty of resources available. You had Judge Newman in Middlesex county in MA grant custody to a career criminal who prior to getting custody was involved in a shooting during a drug deal. The issue is putting habitual dirt bags away for years, not months. This animal should have been locked up way before, but our legal system is lazy and pleads case down to lesser offenses allowing scum bags to roam our streets.
That's because the United States social workers are responsible for children's safety instead of having investigators and law-enforcement protect a child. Our system is broken.
@@lisabelle7553 It's really awful and messed up. CPS usually doesn't do crap to help the kids that actually need help. They should do away with the organization and when someone is breaking the law by abusing their kids (or anyone's kids) people should call the police. They should of course give police more training in dealing with situations like that too. It seems like it would make a great deal more sense to call them, since they can actually do things like make arrests. CPS can't arrest anyone. All they do is try to make people sign up for services, and classes, and try to put kids into foster homes, which are more abusive than the homes they are leaving half the time.
@@lisabelle7553 america is a shhh show. weirdly most americans run around thinking the whole wide world is jelous of them, but its the other way around. i have only pity and fear, especially for the children!
@@NikkiC777 I 100% agree with you!
Bless the heart of the property manager that helped Kayla. Intervening in a domestic situation is scary for anybody even the police. The fact that she helped Kayla is heroic in my opinion. It is a VERY very dangerous thing to do but it is the right thing to do.
I was thinking this too, and the same with the Yoga lady who drove them around, with Adam twisting her arm to pull the phone off her. What a monster.
@@lukin_ledbetter totally. I've been in a relationship like that and nobody would help me and so that really stuck out for me. People were so scared of my ex they looked down when I was there with him.
@@cr6661 thank you for your comment.
Every time I say anything with compassion for Kayla people will jump on me here. But it's really hard to put ourselves in her shoes and I think she had very little confidence she was beat down so much that she didn't even stick up for a child. And now she has to live with that.
I hope she can forgive herself truly I do because I don't see her as the real evil here I think she is redeemable.
@cr6661 unfortunately cps and aps choose the wrong cases to try to go after unfortunately.... I am a nurse and ran a home Healthcare agency and when APS got Involved it amazed me...they chose to go after people whom were completely innocent but the worse pieces of crap that everyone knew and was obvious they never did their job 😢 it was so sad it made me sick it was so hard to watch I couldn't imagine seeing the CPS agencies drop the ball... I mean in this case it's gross negligent... no wonder the worker isn't there anymore
I don't see him in the line up ??
I am struck by how empty the courtroom is. No one there for the victim but also no one there for the defendant
Everyone that is there for Harmony is there as a witness
This needs to end and pray that he at least tells where he disposed of her little body for her mother and foster parents to have closure
Sorry to say I don't think there's anything left to find anymore.
He’s too evil. He will never tell anyone where any part of her is, he will take it to the grave.
His finger prints are all over her. He will never tell. It’s so sad
He'll never tell
Neither him or Travis will. They both know. Travis did so much to help Adam get that hotel and Uhaul. Read the probable cause its obvious. The state is letting Britney and Travis get away with SO MUCH it's gross
Court TV, I have been a fan since the 80s watching my 1st trial Claus Von Bulow..just wanted to say how much more i appreciate YT coverage of cases and your timestamps..painstaking details Im sure and it is appreciated very much!! The 🐐 of Trials!!
I’m on rewatch crew… I have to say, Travis seems to have turned his life around and was respectful, and seemed completely credible. Hope he continues to do well.
Too late. We are all saturated with information about what substance abuse can do to a person and their families and if you have a propensity towards violence than it’s a lethal cocktail. He’s finished.
I like this prosecutor , hes calm , methodical and respectful to witnesses , the defence on the other hand seems combative and repetitive , all over the place , but to be fair to them when you get a case that really cant be defended youre swimming in treacle
Don’t they have tissues in that courtroom? Give one to the building manager for goodness sake!
Is there no one in NH or Mass that can admit or even apologize for letting that little girl down.
From the parade of witnesses throughout the trial, it seems as though many of the people in NH have addiction problems. Usually with that population, drugs come first.
I could see it in his uncle Kevin's testimony
Apologizing for letting her down is admitting guilt in possible lawsuits. My former mother-in-law was run over by a school bus, the driver wasn't paying attention on school crosswalk. The school principal said we could focus on grieving, they'll cover the funeral expenses. Afterward the school district said we're mistaken, and they never agreed to pay the bill. Even that was after months of avoiding us.
At that point we hired our own lawyer, she didn't even have a headstone. My father-in-law told the lawyer he wanted the bill paid as promised. What he ended up getting was so much more than that I'm surprised he didn't have a heart attack.
But that's why NH & MA won't do the right thing & that's why the school district here wouldn't.
I don’t even think that little angel had a chance with even her biological mother. So I’m with you a 💯 % the state did this little girl dirty and they should have to be accountable. not so the family gets anything in her death, but so the other little children that are put in similar situation’s have hope.
@@donnahall3902yeah he is broken. His voice cracked on the stand when he told the jury she has a black eye.
I can only imagine what these poor boys witnessed. God bless them
❤ And God Bless the foster parents who I pray will show them enough love to help them overcome all of the terrible abuse that we know about and especially the things we don’t know about. Hopefully the baby girl was young enough to forget who her parents are until she is older, or forever if she chooses. Those boys will always remember their sister. I’m sure they have missed her beautiful spirit and love.💘
Seriously. Being in the car with two parents smoking crack and shooting up. Can't imagine
My god… are these the only people that were ever involved ? Wasn’t there extended family…..grandparents, aunts, family, doctors, friends. …I mean additional to those who have already testified? This child never had a chance. EVERYONE let this sweet angel down!!!
poor girl was back and forth for her short life , its hard to believe there wasnt a single stable family member that could have taken her in , shame on them all, I think a lot of children got lost in the system during covid , even more than usual, same thing happened in the UK, children beaten to death in their homes with no eyes on them
Doubtful. Seeing how they turned out, it's kind of letting us know what their family is like and how they grew up. If they had good families they would've never had their children with them while they were homeless.
She was fostered for a short while, her foster mom was on the stand.
Crystal (Harmony's mother) had a son who was adopted. The couple wanted to adopt Harmony from what I understand. But the monster got her instead.
Adam is a violent person and cant deal with law & order. He's not going to make it in prison.
Yes,,, have any idea what prison gangs do to Child baby rapers and baby killers? It's NOT acceptable in there either.
Karma will be his worst nightmare. He will wish his is dead… trust me.
I hope and pray that his fellow inmates don’t touch him at all…. But make him look over his shoulder wherever he is, wonder if his food is safe to eat or if his liquids are poisoned….. this would be such a tormented way to “live”….
@@lisagreene8295That’s not true. There is hundreds of the same ppl like him in there that is a myth ppl like to say to make themselves feel better
I know his type. He is only scary when he's hurting women and children. I bet he is a bish when it comes to facing other MEN. Guaranteed.
I like how the jury got to see AM on video with the cops.
It's a shame they didn't have the audio. How he kept saying he wouldn't talk without a lawyer. He never was concerned where harmony was because he killed and hid her.
@@bt8508 I was (and still am) confused as to why they didn't play the audio. We've all heard it, so why didnt they use that same one?
@9babyblu it was a part of a pre-trial ruling that the judge determined the audio wouldn't be used in court. I don't understand it either other than someone wanting to plead the 5th?? I wish the audio would have been allowed. Very revealing to me how much he wasn't worried about his missing daughter...
If I was in management of the restaurant that Harmony's murderer worked at and daily brought a bag that he kept in walk-in freezer, I'd be finding out and saying NO!! Who knows what would have happened.....
I would have at least been curious enough to ask about it. If that happened, AM wouldn't have brought it back tho. If he was sketchy when answering, I would have acted like it's all good then sneakily hid the bag to go thru it, behind a locked door...
All I could think of during that manager's testimony was just that (inquiring about bag) and the embarrassment (at the LEAST) of showing my face knowing there was no questioning/now aware of this travesty...
He probably said it was his lunch.
Should have been against Health Dept rules for that bag to be in the walk in freezer. So there's no reason why the manager didn't ask anything or do anything.
The mini fridge at the motel that Travis opened up the fridge and looked in, but didn't open the bag is another person who seen but says he didn't.
It's hard to tell how many people actually seen this baby deceased but will never admit it.
Goodness, the way some folks come to court.
I made a similar comment and got shredded for my opinion. Seriously, all I said was I would never wear a hoodie to court and people came for me hard! 😮 can't have a damn opinion anymore...
@@charlotte_stevensthese witnesses are the low of the low. I don’t care what people say
@@melissa74066 AMEN, Melissa! 💖
They didn't ask Travis Beach about seeing the cmc bag in the mini fridge!?
Seriously I cannot believe what Travis and Britney have gotten away with it's disappointing and disgusting!!! 😒 The probable cause laid it out but the state sure didn't. This is crazy.
Or the apt manager. Just appliance removal.
They removed the fidge after they moved out. How could the manager have known what was in it while they were living there?
Right?! I remember reading that a while ago
I'm currently watching the defense question witness #39...why is this grown man talking to this grown woman like she's a child? Why are people like that
Kayla knows where Harmonys body is and I think she participated in her abuse. No stepmother in love with her abuser will protect a daughter that is not hers.
She most definitely knows
Possibly, unless Adam thought she would squeal. It makes perfect sense that he would not tell her unfortunately. Since the defense is trying to say that she murdered Harmony. If finding Harmony would prove her innocence and not facing Murder charges, I personally believe that she would tell where Harmony is.
I do agree 💯 that she was also abusive to Harmony. I’m sure she was showing her boys “some” affection (probably very little) but I don’t think she treated Harmony with any, not an ounce of love. I’m sure those boys were extremely neglected and abused by their parents as well and I’m so glad that she lost her rights to them!
She's guilty for not stopping it. No matter if the child is hers are not. No matter if she participated or not. She knew what was happening. Just another weak junkie looking for her next high. That's ALL she cared about and that's WHY she stayed.
Exactly
Adams sure looks like he SO excited for his day in court as he claims he didnt kill his baby girl Harmony,,cant even be a man and show up in court ,,,,,
That lawyer needs to stand in one SPOT, ANNOYING WALKING ALL OVER THE PLACE!
Can I just say, I've never watched a judge write as much as this one. My own personal experience
I think she may be writing notes about jury members
She is working on other things.😂
Very unusual busy work by the judge
I think her only other role is to tell people to talk louder because - you know - it’s a very big room.
I keep imagining her writing chore lists, grocery lists, notes to her kids 🤣
I can barely contain my fury, my sadness over this case. This poor beautiful girl. I have a 5 year old daughter and this breaks me. I dream about Harmony. I think about her all day. Adam and Kayla. Brittany and Travis. everyone disgusting pos involved… your time is coming. Fly High Harmony ❤ Rest in Gods hands. WE LOVE YOU BABY GIRL
I have great admiration for this man to do the right thing and tell all he knows even while it's showing his sad addiction. He has a job so maybe he's okay now,
For Travis? Omg you need to read that probable cause affidavit of Adam Montgomery. Travis is so complicit that it is crazy he is able to walk.
There are even witnesses that went to police way before all this blew up and told them that Travis would get high on crack and start telling people that he HELPED ADAM dispose of Harmony after wrapping up her bits in plastic and going for a ride with Adam to dispose of her in a bunch of different places.
Travis and Britney have gotten away with so much. I hope people read that probable cause affidavit. It's available from a Google search. It tells so much more of the story. It's absolutely terrifying.....
The prosecution has this wrapped up…all they needed to do was show how violent the coward was..and done deal!
They are awful aren't they? They are making this so layered and confusing. Their questioning of witnesses is horrible. This case has always been a mess but this trial is all over the place. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed. I watch LOTS of trials and I'm disappointed so far in this prosecution team.
5:19:18 "Do you follow me thus far?" "Do you understand me thus far?" Ugh. What a douche.
So Britney and Travis were at Adam and Kayla's apartment on 3/1/20. Then, on 3/3/20, Britney and Travis "run into" Kayla and Adam (with Harmony in the bag) at a hotel that all 4 end up not using bc of deposit rates.
So all 4 leave and go to the Econo Lodge where Britney puts her card up for Adam and Kayla to have their own room for two nights 3/3/20-3/4/20. It seems to me that they planned this at the Union st apt days earlier.
Why didnt the prosecutor or defense ask why they all went to Econo after "running into" each other at the first hotel?
Sounds like all 4 made this plan at the Union street apt and met up to execute it using Britneys card so they could dispose of poor Harmony.
The hotel was all set but bc **Britney didnt have her ID** the plan started to fall apart as far as the Uhaul to transport Harmonys body to Massachusetts bc she had the cc card but no ID and they needed someone who did.
Probably feeling bad she spent all this money and that Adam and Kayla had trekked Harmony's dead body, Travis sprung into action to finish the plan and find someone who would rent the uhaul.
Feeling bad his gf scrrewed things up by not having an ID, Travis called Brenden and got him to use HIS ID so Adam could get the Uhaul!
Remember, TRAVIS asked Brenden for the Uhaul. He told Brenden that "Britney was moving" and needed it. He never said anything about Kayla & Adam. And Brenden did it thinking he was helping Travis & Britney.
Then Travis went & got the Uhaul from Brenden, and then handed the keys to Adam so he could do what he had to do.
You will not convince me that Britney and Travis "didnt know."
I hate when attorneys leave unanswered questions. Its obvious to me they know more. They probably got them their own room bc they didnt want a dead child in her mini fridge.
These people make me sick!
And let's not forget Travis SAW THE CMC BAG IN THE mini fridge!!!! We haven't forgot that either. Why is the state letting them skate? Unreal
I agree
WOW that's so crazy..I didn't really put together the friends actions and events etc. Was more focused on Adam and Kayla...but what you pointed out makes so much sense!! They are all in cahoots...or at the very least know what's up.
i think travis knows,he cant say he does know because he will go down for being complicit, i think he went in the van with adam .
They probably do know more, or at least suspected more. The hotel and getting the uhaul is just drug user behavior. If someone says they'll give a drug user some dope if they do xyz, they'll usually agree. And if both parties are users they'll spend time using in the hotel room before/after whatever the arrangement was for happens (in this case renting a hotel room& acquiring a uhaul for adam). Seen similar behavior many times in far less nefarious situations.
soooo Adam like to best on women and small children that couldn't fight back...and now not even show up for court...what a coward....and he said he couldn't wait for this trial to prove he didn't kill Harmony...what a crock from a coward
They didn’t do a good job at hiding witness 39’s face. Saw it multiple times when they moved the camera around…
Why wouldn't she show her face?
@@SquidSnuggles I wonder why as well. I believe that was what the attorneys were discussing over the break. She mentioned something about risking her life by being there...

Is there no public access to the court room? I would expect it to be cramped full if this was Europe
I don’t believe there was public access.
I don’t understand why they couldn’t have played the audio of what AM was saying to the police.
That is so weird! They always play those u. Other trials I watch...I'm gonna google it
Ok so I googled it. The defense argued before trial he utilized his right to silence by not answering policy's questions, and he wasn't under arrest st that time and it would be too prejudicial for the jury to speculate why he was being questioned and e
Why he chose not to answer...so I still don't get it but that's why
I just hope Harmonys siblings are loved and cared for.
They separated the boys from their sister?
I wonder why the prosecution asks every witness that is not an expert witness what was their highest grade of education?
To gauge their intelligence
@@Poshyjen If only education actually translated to intelligence, or better yet, wisdom.
And how long they've done the work they do, as if that matters. The questions seem strange.
It’s to check their reading level for documents they might show them.
It has to do with verifying someone as an expert witness, education on the subject matter makes a difference.

Nicole Giles should have taken care of her isssue ahead of time! Her little hissy fit was uncalled for. This is about justice for Harmony and this woman is acting selfish. If she was worried about "her restraining order" so bad that she ducked court and they had to go find her and arrest her in order to get her there, she should have been an ADULT and let the court know about her concerns ahead of time.

Everyone does have the privilege of education- public school is free. You just have to go.
More than a few have. It does not make them good people.
No excuse for not graduating!
Why does this neighbor not want to testify? Seems messed up, I'd want to anything I could if a child was murdered.
I got the impression there is an underlying reason, valid to the Judge. I am only speculating here, she may be a witness in a totally unrelated case or more likely a victim of dv, herself. She was only brought in as an eyewitness to Kaylla's injuries and to testify to what Kaylla said caused them.
She has a restraining order against someone and said the cameras would jeopardize their safety
Agreed. She didn't want involved even tho she knew things. Didn't want her face shown, but we ALL seen her walk in. Another COWARD.
Most connected to Adam and Kayla didn’t want to testify even the uncle was Subpoenaed to court and testified he didn’t want to give evidence. The drug dealer Anthony was clearly annoyed by being in court and didn’t want to give evidence but was compelled to. All Anthony cared about was making sure he wasn’t in trouble, he made a deal to give evidence. No one seems to care that an innocent child was brutally murdered and they should want to help ensure Harmony gets justice. The worst quality of people in this case. Poor Harmony had no chance
Maybe she was scared of Adam. Maybe Adam thought she seen or heard something than threatened her.
Can the loved ones of Harmony sue the state of NH for gross negligence??? It should be co-defendant. When you look at the Take care of Mays trial and compare to this one, it is apparent that neither state protects their children!!
the "loved ones" ?? who? the grandmother who turned the lot of them away?? the mother who got pregnant AGAIN after losing Harmony?? the uncle who left that poor child in the hands of those monsters?? who are these loved ones who didn't do a damn thing when that poor baby was missing for two years ?? there are no loved ones.. NO ONE saw to it that that poor child had a fair shake, NONE OF THEM.. this story has infuriated me .. WHERE OH WERE WAS GOD how could a God allow such evil and pain .. ???? Forced to stand in a corner for hours? planet garbage every stinking one of them
What loved ones? If she was truly loved it wouldn't have taken over 2 yrs for a posses to go looking for her.
Why should the family profit of Harmony’s death… Not one of them showed up for her especially on Adam’s side of the family. They all knew Kayla and Adam were hopefully junkies that neglected and likely abused their children.
Kayla is not Harmony's mother, and Harnony's mother was looking for her.
It just seems that if child protection had put in half the effort that law enforcement and DA has now put in, Harmony might still be alive
I find it very sad that there isn’t very many people in the courtroom. Everyone failed this poor little girl.

@@doreenkemp2856I read Adams mom was 15 when she had him and his dad was 16. Mom gave him up at birth and his dad “raised” him (basically his grandma did). Adams dad has been in prison and now maybe lives in FL with wife and young children. There’s a good news article on all this and how Adam got caught with drugs at like 17 with his 30 year old uncle. The uncle who took the stand. Just all horrible stuff.
Yes, the abused becomes the abuser. No one innately comes into this world without empathy--so for those who do these types of horrific acts, it (empathy) was 'abused' out of them.
Ms. Giles was of no help to the defense.
She didn’t have much to work with…other then that she seems like a great lawyer I couldn’t imagine defending a child killer.
so she didn't want to be in court risking her own life by speaking against adam....makes sense to me cause he is very dangerous and know other that are just as dangerous
I see loser couldn't make it in again. I thought he wanted to prove his innocene?
Terrible case let do to these two what Harmony suffered ,
This poor little girl didn't stand a chance. Parents addicts, Stepmother addict, grandparents not interested, police and social worker lazy. She must have been such a sad and lonely little girl.
So, it's just horrible, even tearful that Kayla gets beaten by Adam but when it is happening Harmony, it's OK? Kayla left and took her children out of it. Harmony couldn't escape without help, but since Kayla and her children were not being beat, it must have been OK with Kayla.
I cant believe Adam is being treated like he deserves respect. Everyone has to be there but him. Makes me sick
So what did they buy at Walmart?? No video footage at the cashier check out?
They didn’t buy anything, they recycled phones and electronics to get money
Why Does He Get An Option, What A COWARD Not Even MAN Enough To Care About Someone Else Besides Himself,He Needs To Be Made To Come Face What He Has Done Or Get More Time Added For Not Coming To Court And For Everyday He Doesn't Tell Where Harmony Is More Days Added
It’s ok. He will come face to face with death the instant they let him out in gen pop in prison.
So did they find any human remains in the pipes?
I don't think they ever said. The janitor didn't say anything.

RIP sweet Harmony. If anyone of us knew and where there, we’d save you in a heartbeat 💜 Shame on DCYF, the police, the mother in law, the supervisor and driver for Adam and Kayla (Who failed to call police for Harmonys black eye and assault on the driver), and the judge who awarded Adam custody and of course Adam and Kayla! They all need to be held accountable and then JUSTICE will be served 🌷🙏🏼
The driver said Kayls had a black eye & that she gave rides to Adam, Kayla & the boys. She did not mention Harmony.
You should not impugn the driver, Rose Smith. She never saw Harmony. She was also probably one of the best witnesses the prosecution has put on. Her fear of Adam is palpable. She did a commendable job testifying to Adam’s explosive rage.
The driver never met Harmony. Please do not taint her reputation.
the body language between Adam and Kelsey in that body cam video tells me everything about him. he’s abusive.
Is the Coor’s t-shirt the only shirt he owns?
She had opportunities to leave but she stayed even after knowing he was locked up.

My question is… if Adam is the father and was given the responsibility of Harmony, then where does he say she is? How and when did she go missing. He was telling people that she went back with her mother which was not true.
I don’t think he’s said anything.. I’m not sure tho, I just started watching this trial a couple days ago!
So if I really wonder why in New Hampshire the defendant does that have to face the accusation or accuser AKA New Hampshire of his crime. What a coward
Had to take a work video call for an hour. What have I missed is court over ?
Ya I think it ended at 230😢
I’m a little confused about the birth mother was she in treatment for 5 years or did she relapse several times?Why did it take so long to fight for this little one?
I think after Adam got custody they moved to NH and she lost track of them and that was done by Adam by design.
Bio mom (Crystal Sorey) was in and out of treatment. AM 🚫 her after her last face time just before that Easter. She called around about Harmony's whereabouts while she was in and out of treatment. At 1 point, CPS did call her and she did not call them back.
It’s to bad treatment facilities didn’t make detox and rehab for the whole family especially for those that are serious about getting their lives together then the daughter could have stayed with her mother. And I know these parents don’t want their children there why they’re detoxing, but they let their children be there when they were high
Well you certainly asked the million dollar question, WHY didn't anyone for years pound the pavement for this sweet child
I will never understand how that no good Adam got his daughter….Shame on the system 😂
It will be very interesting to see who that witness is, if they testify. The state has brought out some really good evidence and testimony; I'm hoping Harmony gets justice. I also hope Kayla and the boys get help and can heal and recover from this. I wonder if the state will have a psychiatrist or someone like that, to discuss the effects on the brain, from the physical and psychological torment that Kayla was under. Domestic violence to that extent is beyond awful. I'm glad she was able to eventually leave; too many never do. 💔
I hope her boys do. The only thing that will help her is getting down on her knees and repenting b4 God and I don't see that happening
Male defense attorney is creepy as hell
No audio for Adam getting out of his car with the police? The jury got no audio?
By the time the prosecution is done calling witnesses, there won't be anyone left for the defense to call. They are calling LITERALLY EVERYONE! I'm not really sure what the 481 detectives, investigators, and police officers are going to say that's much different than another. Is it really necessary to have this many detectives testify to the same thing?
They spent an entire day and then some on expert witnesses for a fingerprint in blood.
@-the_autistic_samana- right?!? It's ridiculous. If I was on this jury, I would be so irritated with this. They called several witnesses where they only asked a few questions that seemed completely irrelevant. I mean, the defense didn't even have questions to ask because it was so dang random. It's literally, " did you work with Adam Montgomery at dunkin' donuts?" Then they show his photo and ask, "do you know who this photo is of?" The witness responds, "Adam Montgomery." Then the prosecution is literally like, "No more questions for this witness."
Do we REALLY need 7 different detectives that were all on the SAME scene giving their account of the SAME room at the F.I.T. location?
It is redundant and they are exhausting the Jury for no reason. This whole trial is weird to me, though. They are constantly approaching the bench and not giving their objections out loud. I'm totally complaining and I shouldn't be because I'm not in the Jury and I am sure they are trying to give as much evidence as possible. It just doesn't seem very efficient.
I’ve watched this from the first day of trial.
I’m first sickened that both of these selfish addicts may both get away with murder. Kayla knew that little girl was dead. Why buy three breakfast burritos? One for her, one for Adam and one to split between the two boys. They drove with her dead body like she was a wasted piece of trash. They stuffed her in a ceiling, squeezed, contorted her, stuffed her in freezers and refrigerators. They both are guilty. Kayla had plenty of opportunities to tell a friend, someone in the clinic, her aunt or mom but she didn’t. She may have later feared him -but that came much later.
I don’t know that a jury will find him guilty because no one but Kayla said he did kill her and there’s no actual proof he had.
They both should have been charged - because they both played a role in mistreating, neglecting, beating, killing, then mutilating her little body.
Kayla will get out sooner than later with having gotten away with murder; and sadly I think he will not be found guilty of the murder we all no that bastard brutally contributed to.
Ms Giles states she was risking her own life by testifying. Who is threatening witnesses lives?
I think someone said she is a DV survivor and has a DVO out for her protection in her situation.
@measheamedina1875 that's dumb. Her name is still given and I'm sure whoever it is that she is separated from can tell its her by her voice.
I feel so sorry for the lady living in the place they stayed …. She really seemed upset to be there and I feel if Adam has the right to not be there why should she? Yes, I know her testimony helps this case, but is being there does too he’s a coward, a murderer and abuser and everything else in the book but he doesn’t have to show his face, but this poor woman that only knew them for a period of time living in a shelter, has a testify, and give all her, moments and time not fair just truly not fair and I really truly feel for her
Adam will not grow old in a prison in New Hampshire or a jail I can assure you of that.
He will meet his end long before he's an old man.
And when Kayla gets out of prison...... It's probably in her best interest to leave new hampshire. No one's going to hire her no one's going to let her rent a room or an apartment and a lot of people know who she is and what she hid for so long.
And I hope when Adam meets his end it is in the most horrifying way imaginable.
Yayyy for FMLA!!!
3:13:02 that coat on the girl looks exactly like the one the housing manager wore to court to give evidence.
This is your brain 🧠. This is your brain on drugs 🥚 🍳. Any questions??
There is no Audi IS4, there is an S4 and an RS4. It makes you wonder how well something was processed, lol
i hope next trial i try to watch has better sound than this one....can't even hear half of what anyone says except the judge...i guess brooks trial spoiled me since we could hear all of it....ifs hard on a person straining to hear
Harmonys Mother looked for her continuious. I think she can sue the cps because that incompetent man failed her big time
She has no rights to Harmony. So how can she sue?
Won’t bring her baby girl back
@ZzF-sd1hq Court said when she no showed to a custody hearing.
Wtf do they have to keep pointing people out in the videos we can see them clear as day what are they gonna play this for 3 yr old children or something man cmon
Why are drugs so prevalent in NH, heck everywhere?
Look into the opioid crisis. NH has been hit very hard.
Because our government wants us focused on anything other than what they are doing.
Border patrol not fully staffed
Big Pharma, oxycontin,
All of the above.
WHY DIDNT THEY ASK KAYLA IF ADAM EVER HIT ANY OF HIS OTHER KIDS??? And if not, why did he only abuse beautiful Harmony???? This is just heartbreaking.. I wish more children could be adopted into nice homes with good parents instead of being stuck in custody for years and years waiting for their parents to get it together.. it’s not right..
He said she reminded him of his ex and annoyed him 😢
The other children were 2 years old and newborn.
Adam and Kaila both should be on trial. But they don’t have enough evidence without her testimony. I blame Kayla just as much as Adam. She is probably even worse. She continued to have children with this POS even after knowing what kind of a guy he was. Disgusting
Seriously? Done for the day/week at 2:30 PM?
IMO Harmony was failed by both her parents. Yes, Adam obviously was the way worse one, but her mother was not so great either. Never mind Kayla. How on Earth do you go along with this?
This lawyer cannot stand still, always walking around and hard to hear!
Does anyone know - why was nicole giles audio only and what does "arrested for court" mean?
I don't see how 90% of the prosecutions questions are working towards proving Adam killed Harmony...sooooo much of this seems completely useless.
This prosecutor is not impressive.. he has no passion and is most concerned with portraying his key witness as a victim (Kayla), compare him to prosecutor on Vander Ark case. This guy should be reminding everyone this is all about the heinous murder of a little girl. I pray Harmony gets justice.
Is he doing that because the defence is saying Kayla is the murderer?
@@Felicity2121 Yes, and she is their key witness so he has to maintain that she was a victim too. But I think he places too much emphasis on Kayla's victimhood and not enough on the one true innocent victim, a five yr old girl named Harmony.
iv never seen anyone walk into a courtroom with their arms folded...she seems pi$$ed, but why are they not showing her....we already saw you lady!!
Apparently, she ignored a subpoena so was brought in. She has a restraining order out on someone. It wasn't said who that was. She was staying at the shelter so it isn't a huge leap to assume she was a victim of DV. The judge ruled that no video or pictures were to be taken of her. But unfortunately the camera had already shown her. It's too bad that Court TV didn't edit that part out for replay. There are a lot of women stalked and/or killed by exes. I would have been pissed too.
@@lilzabugi have a habit of writing comments before watching the video to the end. Ya I got that later so I understand why she was so angry. She was putting her life in danger. It's not right that they made her do that because they wont protect her!! In germany a woman is killed every 3days from her spouse/ex-souse and in america that statistic is way higher. Our world is truly sick. Its infuriating!!
Travis beach knows and he’s going to break one day
if you read the probable cause affidavit, then there is previous information that travis told others during times when he was high on crack
The defendant should be required to be present during the trial. If the defendant is disruptive, they can gag him and tie him to a chair. He needs to be FORCED to be in that courtroom. I realize it's his Constitutional right but there needs to be an 'amendment' to the amendment. The defendant should also be required to be present during 'judgement day' AND sentencing. The only time where a defendant could be 'excused' from being present would be if the defendant initially pleaded GUILTY. But even then, they need to go through the humiliation of being present during the sentencing hearing. This guy is despicable beyond comprehension. I'm so looking forward to prison justice.
