Because of the odometer on the U-Haul they know how far he went and a perimeter surrounding that area should be thoroughly checked nonstop in the hopes of finding that baby. I can’t believe she’s still out there somewhere. She, at the very least, deserves a proper resting place after all she’s endured in this life.
There's no way to cover every square inch of the wntire area. They've already searched quite a bit, they need more specific info to point to an area to narrow it down. Unfortunately that scumbag is the only one who knows the details & is choosing to conceal the info. Unless he talks, some witness info comes out of the blue, or someone happens upon something, it's going to be almost impossible.
Who was the genius judge that awarded custody of Harmony to Adam?? He had an extensive criminal history that included stabbing, shooting, drugs, etc. I'd like to see that judge face charges...
Go figure. Still choices made doesn't get erased by retirement... Shame on the department. They had a very willing foster family who knew her, loved her, and where more than fit/willing.
@@ginnygraichen677 a foster family that formed a co parent bond with her mother at that. It absolutely blows my mind that he “fought” for her for 4 years then turned around and immediately killed her. Like why? Just leave her where she is. A true psychopath. I’m trying not to go into a rant on your comment lol but why tf is he never in court? During covid I would understand but we aren’t in a shut down anymore. This entire case just has me infuriated and sad
OMG, female defense attorneys' questions are like wacthing paint dry. she has nothing..Maybe, she thinks the more questions she asks , the more time she spends the jury will fall asleep and the case will be dismissed. The detective with the light gray/blue suit and pink tie needs a bonus for staying awake and not rolling his eyes.
I have been thinking the same thing about the amount of questions she asks. I think that the more she ask, she believes That it makes her look like a better lawyer or more important. But it doesn't. She is a D***** bag.
That poor guy looked pretty sleepy 10mins into her X with him. Lol She's only focused on confusing the witness with slighty changed Qs prosecution already asked/answered, in hopes it further confuses the jury.
I’m finding today especially hard. She really only needs to ask the fact witnesses two questions: Does this evidence prove how Harmony Montgomery died? Does it prove that Adam Montgomery beat Harmony Montgomery to death? Both answers are: “No.” Instead she seems dedicated to the dual tasks of punishing & confusing the jury/witnesses… and the rest of us by extension.
Her confusion is all for show. It's all strategic. She's waiting for that 'got ya' moment while she purposely asks Qs that prosecution asked, just slightly different and in a confusing way in hopes she confuses the jury. I just hope the jury is seeing her ploy here and is focused on prosecutions case.
She’s not confused. She’s very smart and if you paid close attention, you’d see that even her “confusion” is calculated. Every question she asks is strategic, and she plays old and dumb hoping to get them to admit to something or misspeak in an incriminating way. And if you notice every time anyone fell for it, the act immediately stopped and she went in for the attack. Smart woman.
I can hardly stand the defense attorney. Asking the same questions over and over while the state had already asked. OK we know how something is wrapped. SMH I wouldn't want her for an attorney. I'd be afraid she would piss off the jury. I mean how many times can you explain how something is wrapped.
I can not stand her! Annoying af. She asks the same Qs but with dumb downed wording to purposely confuse the witness trying to answer, in hopes that it confuses the jury! Her huffy 'right' and pfft 'ok' just makes me want to... ugh, you get it! 😆 She pisses me off.
I am 100% with you. I would object on leading and testifying. I could be wrong. She has that nasty, nasily voice repeating everything ending with a RIGHT? Maybe it's a strategy to confuse the person testifying but she drives me nuts!
@peekingandsneaking9091 oh and her "right... mmm hmmm... ok.." statements are annoying af. Like if your going to impeach a witness then do it, otherwise keep your thoughts to yourself. Ugh
Yes its exasperating listening to her, i honestly can not stand her i mean she is so infuriating and its like what are you talking about, what are these questions. And i feel so bad when they have someone on the stand and the state says defense has questions for you. The look on their faces..
I dont get why the manger at the pie company or any other employees didnt ask Adam why the hell.he was putting a gross dirty bag inside the cooler with food!?!? Maybe they did but im sure they would have asked him what Adam said!?!?
Exactly did the y have no hygiene policy in place was hoping the lawyer was going to ask him. Did you ever question what was he storing. Cause obviously it was so,etching that needed to be chilled . Imagine the restaurant diners knowing there was a body next to thier salad . Unbelievable
After shooting someone in the head and all the heinous acts committed by the father, why was he even out of prison to begin with if he would’ve been where he belong, then maybe this little girl would be alive celebrating her 10th birthday
Also the prime suspect in another murder where a guy was shot dead at a white hen store out in mass. The parents of the guy said he was meeting up with Adam.
@@krystinthaboss7816his name was Darlin Guzman. He was shot in the chest in 2008 in Lynn. Adam and a couple family members are prime suspects. Hopefully after he goes down for this, he’ll be tried for that.
I'm still trying to figure out why Kayla still wanted more kids after being there and watching him kill his own child. I seriously can't figure it out. She was there when he killed his flesh and blood. Why on earth was it a good idea to keep on having kids with him?
This court has almost zero tech... The defense walking photos past the jury is wild! Like, c'mon, get a cheap projector from Temu and you'll be miles ahead here
They are but I think it is to make holes in the case or to discredit the people speaking to the jury. I guess that is what an aggravating defense attorney does when their client is absolutely self absorbed and guilty as all hell.
She’s trying to establish reasonable doubt. Which is all that’s needed to get Adam off. Their defense is also going to be that Kayla killed Harmony and Adam took the fall so that she could stay with their sons. They are going to also say that Kayla is only telling on Adam now because she’s jealous that he moved on with another woman. That she never cared about Harmony which is why she still wanted to get with Adam after they broke up.
The young man named Brandon seemed very sweet, very polite. I hope when he gets out a local employer rembers his cooperation in this case and gives him a good job. Sounds like he struggled with addiction, but when he's sober I bet he's a good kid.
Or …. maybe the defence for what it is! has decided that his facade will drop in front of the jury and he won’t be able to keep the arrogance, disdain and violence off his face and so it won’t do him any favours. Either way it’s a crazy permission that he gets to decide he doesn’t attend his trial and as I understand it today the sentencing itself. Wtf?
@@TheNarcissus666it’s his right unfortunately and he’s the one that has chosen not to come, not the defense. He’s claiming he doesn’t want to be strip searched daily to come in and out of the prison.
@@justmemandalee No. That’s what I believed but on Court TV analysis last night they said that was not the case and that the judge had ruled he did not have to be there. How can that be? I get different state rules apply to absenting at trial, even though I think it’s wrong, but surely for the verdict the accused has to be there. I am only repeating what was said on a reputable channel.
Defense has not created any doubt at all of Adam’s guilt in the murder of Harmony nor of his abuse of her corpse. His refusal to be present at his trial also speaks volumes of his lack of character.
Outside of expert witnesses in this case there is not a likable decent person. Anthony was clearly a POS, he seemed annoyed to be there and only wanted to make clear he had nothing to do with anything involving Harmony. Kayla’s mother was cold and also showed zero empathy for Harmony. The mother of Harmony is hard to have sympathy for, she ignored calls from child protection trying to verify if she had Harmony, and only 18 months later did a friend of hers contact police regarding no contact with Harmony. This little girl was failed by everyone around her. Adam’s uncle had to be compelled to be in court to testify, why wouldn’t he want justice for Harmony. I am guessing other relatives like Adam’s brother also refused to cooperate when he clearly witnessed abuse. This poor little girl had no hope being surrounded by junkies, dealers and lowlifes
Home Depot guy and Adam’s coworkers at the restaurant were good normal people, Brendon middleton(inmate) who rented the u haul seemed to be genuine since he’s sober in jail, Kayla’s special driver was an angel
Every adult involved should be arrested and sentenced. If this was my child I would be on the phone or at police station every day until I knew where my baby was. Just shocking
Because it’s seconddegree he’s allowed to opt out and he’s choosing not to come in because it’s his right. Nobody wants to violate his rights, because if he’s convicted, we want it to stick.
So he put biohazard in the cooler or freezer at work. I hate to call Harmonys body as biohazard, but you don't put a deceased body in a refrigerator, freezer, cooler, not near food for god sakes, no matter who it is. Rest in Peace Harmony 🙏🕊❤❤🕊🙏
@@JillyMae89 nope, both locations closed right when Covid started.. was coincidental but I’m glad they did, no one was going to know about her body being in there until recently 😭
Adam isn’t man enough to sit still in court, his anger and rage would show when confronted about what he did to Harmony and I believe he would become violent. He’s a coward!!
Adam got the perfect attorney. She’s gotta be running the jury the wrong way, so it was meant to be. I had to stop watching yesterday because of her smart a$$ “mmhhhuh, okay” smirky crap, and the snot sucking directly into the microphone. So gross.🤢
She is a public defender ? Everyone needs a defense?? Ahh that’s a no. I get it. I wouldn’t have w taken this case. I couldn’t sleep at night. Can she ms attorney asking the same question different ways and thinking she can pull a fast one? Getting a different answer ? I hope Harmony forgives you for defending that monster
And when she said she still “cared for him” that he’s the father of her children and her best friend and how it’s sooooo hard to just let go omg 😳 🤦♀️ smdh
Maintenance man collaborates Kaylas testimony that Adam was getting paranoid about being watched by police or that she was snitching. Tearing down light fixtures and the thermostat for cameras isn't innocent behavior. The drug dealer collaborated that he didn't see Harmony in the car, only the boys. Kayla testified that Harmony was covered by a comforter when the dealer came to the car so he wouldn't see her black eyes. As far as the defense trying to pin Kayla for the murder because she had the bag that Harmony was in at the Econo Lodge, it was also along with Adam. Adam had Kayla bring the bag in the stroller to his place of work. It isn't like Kayla is just crusing the block with the bag in the stroller. If you were gonna be in public with the bag, putting in the stroller would potentially make it look like an oversized diaper bag. I don't think Kayla killed Harmony, but I do think she had more involvement in the bathroom than she is saying. I don't think Adam is in the courtroom cause he can't control himself and would show what a violent person he is.
I dont think I can stand to hear this story again. Literally one of the worst child abuse cases. Put that custody judge and everyone who was responsible for making sure that little girl was in good hands on trial and Ill be interested.
I am exactly the same, do we know how much longer this trial is going on for ? I am just fed up of listening to all the bullshit excuses from adults who failed that precious girl Harmony ❤
@@tanyadeterlizzi5717 its true. There are parents who torture their own kids for years, often with multiple reports while child services and courts do nothing.
@@Elevendyeleven yep I know I’ve had to deal with them when working in pediatrics. Filed many 51-As and nothing was done or followed up on. The dcf system is so sickening
@@tanyadeterlizzi5717 same here. I worked 16 years in the Early Start program. I got the worst cases in my area. CPS did nothing. They actually outed me to a parent because I wrote a third report. I was going to meetings with the heads of all county programs for young children, including CPS and couldnt get them to do anything. This was after two children from the same county were found dead in dumpsters after multiple reports. The news said there was a big "shake up" at CPS. There was no "shake up." Nothing changes. We have to listen to these cases over and over. Anyone who works with abused kids knows our politicians do nothing.
As hard as this trial has been to witness, I'm left with the feeling that this is Harmony's story...and as cruel and unfair and tragic as her story was, it must be told. I am thankful to all of the witnesses-- not discluding Kayla--that told the truth. Adam will pay for this.
I think the witnesses that are not in law enforcement act real with their own distinct personality. The cops are the ones that act robotic! Kinda like a Stepford wife or lobotomised.
Why so often anymore does the defendant not have to be in court? He should have to face everyone for what he did to that precious babygirl!! RIP Harmony❤
The defense attorney. What?!? She literally sucks the air out of the room with every agonizing statement, followed by right?? Uuuggghhh!! This trial could have been over days ago. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Let’s restate every single thing the prosecution says and add “right” after each statement and call that a cross examine. Sheeesh!!
And who are the other people? And why didn’t they do any comparison to Kayla and did he say that crystals dna was there The da should have asked very simple re direct bc it isn’t clear
Anyone else notice THE "Aaaaa,,,,Uhmmmm,,," lady? Montgomery's lawyer does this in almost EVERY question. ANNOYING!!! And makes her look incompetent as a defense attorney. Not that he needs one. Hes guilty! Trial DONE! HOPE HE GETS THE SAME FATE THAT HE GAVE HIS BABY LIL GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rose Smith was a **powerful** witness for the prosecution. The fear she has of Adam is palpable, even years later. She had the words to “soften” Adam’s rage; little Harmony didn’t.
Portland Pie Company is open to the public and not closed. I’m assuming people will stay away now. You never know what dead child is in the cooler. That’s so disgusting. This is exactly why Adam is not in the courtroom. Worst strategy of the Defense.
I’m kind of surprised that there aren’t health and safety regulations that do not allow any personal items in coolers or any food storage area. Like, what??
I been watching harmony trial I would like know why Kayla is not charge with murder she just sat there and did nothing because she was afraid of Adam did she stop to think how afraid harmony was.
So strange how the pizza joint never questioned an employee storing items in work-related freezer. Most employers do not allow for anything an employee has and can be known as a board of health violation in some cases. In any event who but Herman Munster takes a giant cooler for lunch
Well that was the worst motion to reconsider I’ve ever heard from a defence - no one called in to identify someone walking down the street carrying a bag of lime and a power tool 🤦🏼♀️
Because that is the state’s allegation & Kayla - of course - blew that testimony up a few days ago. Adam pled guilty to abuse of a corpse that does not mean he specifically disposed of Harmony in the way the state alleged. The state is depending upon Kayla for a lot of this testimony & she’s spent so much time hopping from one foot to the next that she doesn’t know whether she’s coming or going. The defense attorney is doing her job. I know people hate her but I’m glad I live in a country where it’s the state’s job to prove guilt & citizens are assured a vigorous defense.
@@oppositeofamnesia the state alleges that an aspect of the disposal of Harmony’s remains was dismemberment. The defense disputes that. Adam did not plead guilty to “dismemberment” he pled guilty to abuse of a corpse. And until the state proves its case the other claims/charges are only allegations. Does that clear things up?
Ok im catching up late night. This defense attorney is so deeming and a B. at -1:55:30 or so she actually says to the detective after his response was “I don’t recall” she says “ok, im going to try a little bit slower then….” Like he is an idiot. I’d be so pissed
The Defense Attorney has a hard time keeping the facts straight, it seems. I heard Kayla's testimony, and even at 70 am able to remember her direct and cross testimony about the "power tools"....which place she saw what; and her testimony about "the bathroom" etc. I bet the Judge remembers, too. Prosecutor set the Record straight for Defense about Kayla's ACTUAL testimony, Bank, Home Depot; but I doubt Defense got the facts straight in spite of all that!
I haven't seen a killer hide behind his cell, instead of facing what he did to his baby girl the coward.. He should of left the little girl in the street, the street rats would of made she had a better life, then that child killer gave her . Don't comprehend when did child protective service decided to yank her from the only home she knew, to a heroin dad..
Why are the defense making such a big deal about the lime and tools when they already instructed the jury in opening to find him guilty of abuse of a corpse?
Re:Brendon Middleton's testimony; Couldn't it be considered prejudicial to have someone testify while they're wearing a prison jumpsuit? I know all testimony opens up with the witness stating where they live and if they currently reside in jail they have to say that, but even Kayla was wearing what could pass for a regular sweatsuit.
Well it’s actually a restricted housing unit (RHU) sweatshirt so it technically could pass for a regular sweatshirt however those of us who know, know she’s in jail. But I do get what you mean. Those of us who didn’t know would thinks it’s normal clothing.
Why would ANY judge let a parent with CURRENT drug issues get any sort of custody or visitation? If you choose drugs over your kids, you should be proud of your decision & never talk to anyone under 18 again. Ridiculous people still think drug issues aren’t a CHOICE YOU MAKE. Did someone hold a g*n to their heads & “make them get high?” NO! That sweet girl didn’t get to choose her parents, & they should’ve chose her first.
Apparently Crystal said Adam was abandoned by his mother as a child. Shanda Vander Ark was abused by her father and step-father. They are broken people, sociopaths, which can be created by natural "mean traits" combined with childhood, particularly parental trauma...but it's no an excuse to not only continue but magnify the abuse on their own children. They should've gotten help earlier, not have children until they're deemed fit, have continuous therapy for the rest of their life and be monitored if there are children in their care.
I would hate to be a defence counsel. It is just a job, but at the end of the day, defence still defends people like Adam, who are monsters. How can the defence argue DNA probability? If that is one of her arguments, then all DNA evidence ever done in history and its probability should be wiped out for every single person who is found deceased. It is a ridiculous argument.
6:56:02 Rose is an Angel.. people may have no idea just how much danger she might be putting herself in when she is giving these addicts rides. Look at what happened here she got put into the middle of a horrible situation because she is being selfless 😢he could have really hurt her that day
There are times when the prosecutor will say to a witness, “And can you tell the jury..” So it’s pretty standard practice. Nothing too strange about it other than people like Amber Heard trying to garner sympathy by constantly speaking to the jurors more directly.
this guy 6:03:26 is always asking great questions they are a good team, BUT since this was a day after “thawing” her out wouldn’t be ask “how did the bathroom look” “dirty, smell clean”
It is so irritating listening to Adam's attorney she doesn't know how to articulate a sentence without saying uh and um every other word. Jesus information given

Defendant not in court makes him look extremely guilty imo
Or …. maybe the defence for what it is! has decided that his facade will drop in front of the jury and he won’t be able to keep the arrogance, disdain and violence off his face and so it won’t do him any favours. Either way it’s a crazy permission that he gets to decide he doesn’t attend his trial and as I understand it today the sentencing itself. Wtf?
@@TheNarcissus666it’s his right unfortunately and he’s the one that has chosen not to come, not the defense. He’s claiming he doesn’t want to be strip searched daily to come in and out of the prison.
@@TheNarcissus666he has to be at the sentencing by law.
I guess he doesn't want to face crystal and her family the p.o. work.
@@justmemandalee No. That’s what I believed but on Court TV analysis last night they said that was not the case and that the judge had ruled he did not have to be there. How can that be? I get different state rules apply to absenting at trial, even though I think it’s wrong, but surely for the verdict the accused has to be there. I am only repeating what was said on a reputable channel.
This defense attorney is a joke and needs to retire.
Defense has not created any doubt at all of Adam’s guilt in the murder of Harmony nor of his abuse of her corpse. His refusal to be present at his trial also speaks volumes of his lack of character.
they barely even ask any questions.
If this was it for the attorney pool on a public defender side I think i would have opted to represent myself 🧐
😂😂😂
Outside of expert witnesses in this case there is not a likable decent person. Anthony was clearly a POS, he seemed annoyed to be there and only wanted to make clear he had nothing to do with anything involving Harmony. Kayla’s mother was cold and also showed zero empathy for Harmony. The mother of Harmony is hard to have sympathy for, she ignored calls from child protection trying to verify if she had Harmony, and only 18 months later did a friend of hers contact police regarding no contact with Harmony. This little girl was failed by everyone around her. Adam’s uncle had to be compelled to be in court to testify, why wouldn’t he want justice for Harmony. I am guessing other relatives like Adam’s brother also refused to cooperate when he clearly witnessed abuse. This poor little girl had no hope being surrounded by junkies, dealers and lowlifes
IDK, the Home Depot guy seemed likeable to me
Home Depot guy and Adam’s coworkers at the restaurant were good normal people, Brendon middleton(inmate) who rented the u haul seemed to be genuine since he’s sober in jail, Kayla’s special driver was an angel
Every adult involved should be arrested and sentenced. If this was my child I would be on the phone or at police station every day until I knew where my baby was. Just shocking
This man and casey anthony would make great couple
Why is Adam Montgomery NOT in the courtroom for this trial????
Bc he’s a coward
I have the same question
Because he’s guilty and a coward!
Because it’s seconddegree he’s allowed to opt out and he’s choosing not to come in because it’s his right. Nobody wants to violate his rights, because if he’s convicted, we want it to stick.
It's disgusting isn't it??
So he put biohazard in the cooler or freezer at work. I hate to call Harmonys body as biohazard, but you don't put a deceased body in a refrigerator, freezer, cooler, not near food for god sakes, no matter who it is.
Rest in Peace
Harmony
🙏🕊❤❤🕊🙏
Yes and we and many others I know were getting pizzas from there at the time 🥺😩
@@603nikkiomg, how awful😮 I can’t even imagine.
Probably why the restaurant closed 🤮 no coming back from that
@@JillyMae89 nope, both locations closed right when Covid started.. was coincidental but I’m glad they did, no one was going to know about her body being in there until recently 😭
Absolutely not! OMG!
Is the defense attorney the twin sister of Amber Heard’s defense attorney???
Yes!!!
I thought the same thing lol
OMG really. The apple hasn't fallen far from that tree. Dumb as a bag of hair.
😂😂😂😂😂
Adam isn’t man enough to sit still in court, his anger and rage would show when confronted about what he did to Harmony and I believe he would become violent. He’s a coward!!
Love the driver to the less fortunate. She has a sweet soul
Rose's testimony did more for this case than most others...
Who let Britney on the stand? She’s tweaking hardddd
Yes she is
Absolutely!😮
Right!!
Exactly what I was thinking !
She was high as a giraffes ass
This is the worst defense attorney
She seems to waste so much time.
That's why she's a public defender. She's awful, RIGHT?
Adam got the perfect attorney. She’s gotta be running the jury the wrong way, so it was meant to be. I had to stop watching yesterday because of her smart a$$ “mmhhhuh, okay” smirky crap, and the snot sucking directly into the microphone. So gross.🤢
Mic should be pointed at the sound source -- their mouths. Ugh, all of these days and they can't get it right.
The driver looks like a lovely, loving, safe grandma type.
She is a public defender ? Everyone needs a defense?? Ahh that’s a no. I get it. I wouldn’t have w taken this case. I couldn’t sleep at night. Can she ms attorney asking the same question different ways and thinking she can pull a fast one? Getting a different answer ? I hope Harmony forgives you for defending that monster
Every citizen deserves a defense. Remember it.
What does she have to work with? Her client is a monster.
But.. Is she really defending him? 😂
Defense keeps asking and saying “right?” Isn’t that leading?
Kayla never cried when talking about Harmony at all, only cried about her abuse from Adam
And when she said she still “cared for him” that he’s the father of her children and her best friend and how it’s sooooo hard to just let go omg 😳 🤦♀️ smdh
But she loves him! Lol.
Actually she cried a lot.
Love*
She cried a lot for harmony , hello
Maintenance man collaborates Kaylas testimony that Adam was getting paranoid about being watched by police or that she was snitching. Tearing down light fixtures and the thermostat for cameras isn't innocent behavior. The drug dealer collaborated that he didn't see Harmony in the car, only the boys. Kayla testified that Harmony was covered by a comforter when the dealer came to the car so he wouldn't see her black eyes.
As far as the defense trying to pin Kayla for the murder because she had the bag that Harmony was in at the Econo Lodge, it was also along with Adam. Adam had Kayla bring the bag in the stroller to his place of work. It isn't like Kayla is just crusing the block with the bag in the stroller. If you were gonna be in public with the bag, putting in the stroller would potentially make it look like an oversized diaper bag.
I don't think Kayla killed Harmony, but I do think she had more involvement in the bathroom than she is saying.
I don't think Adam is in the courtroom cause he can't control himself and would show what a violent person he is.
I dont think I can stand to hear this story again. Literally one of the worst child abuse cases. Put that custody judge and everyone who was responsible for making sure that little girl was in good hands on trial and Ill be interested.
I am exactly the same, do we know how much longer this trial is going on for ? I am just fed up of listening to all the bullshit excuses from adults who failed that precious girl Harmony ❤
This was horrible but the Gabriel Hernandez case was absolutely insanely brutal and cruel too these 2 have got to the worse ones I’ve heard of yet
@@tanyadeterlizzi5717 its true. There are parents who torture their own kids for years, often with multiple reports while child services and courts do nothing.
@@Elevendyeleven yep I know I’ve had to deal with them when working in pediatrics. Filed many 51-As and nothing was done or followed up on. The dcf system is so sickening
@@tanyadeterlizzi5717 same here. I worked 16 years in the Early Start program. I got the worst cases in my area. CPS did nothing. They actually outed me to a parent because I wrote a third report. I was going to meetings with the heads of all county programs for young children, including CPS and couldnt get them to do anything. This was after two children from the same county were found dead in dumpsters after multiple reports. The news said there was a big "shake up" at CPS. There was no "shake up." Nothing changes. We have to listen to these cases over and over. Anyone who works with abused kids knows our politicians do nothing.
He literally doesn't care . I have never seen a defendant not in court .
Exactly
In watching the first few days, I was shocked at how many people did not graduate high school. I guess birds of a feather flock together.
Same. It was a change to hear the girl for Portland Pies has a college degree now.
I'm not surprised at all the people on the stand who did not graduate. Isn't this New Hampshire!
Has anyone heard anything about the blanket that Harmony was supposedly cover up with? I haven’t heard anything about it, unless I missed it
As hard as this trial has been to witness, I'm left with the feeling that this is Harmony's story...and as cruel and unfair and tragic as her story was, it must be told. I am thankful to all of the witnesses-- not discluding Kayla--that told the truth.
Adam will pay for this.
Why do most of the witnesses that are not police seem to be so off?
It's NH.
@@lisabelle7553 l don’t know anything about NH, is it bad? I’m from Georgia and I’m a hick, but I think I could testify better
Also concerning that virtually nobody finished high school. IDK anything about this town, but it paints a picture for sure
Poverty. Drugs. Dysfunction. Vicious Cycle.
I think the witnesses that are not in law enforcement act real with their own distinct personality. The cops are the ones that act robotic! Kinda like a Stepford wife or lobotomised.
Ive never seen a prosecutor swear in witnesses
I was curious about that as well.
Its a small court room, so small they have to share microphones.
Why so often anymore does the defendant not have to be in court? He should have to face everyone for what he did to that precious babygirl!! RIP Harmony❤
I should have been a prosecuting attorney. So many questions not asked just makes me crazy!
When Rose said she was a childcare provider and yoga teacher I could have guessed that 😂she has such a delicate voice
Does he need to be there during sentencing? Surly he can’t just not be there for that RIGHT ?
I believe he has to be there for sentencing. Not sure about the verdict.
Yes Adam has to appear with the victim statements are read and verdict.
This case is a mess. The state really does not have much evidence
The defense attorney. What?!? She literally sucks the air out of the room with every agonizing statement, followed by right?? Uuuggghhh!! This trial could have been over days ago. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Let’s restate every single thing the prosecution says and add “right” after each statement and call that a cross examine. Sheeesh!!
She is a horrible horrible lawyer and so disorganized
this lawyer is hoping for anything
You need more microphone 🎤
The sound is ridiculous 🙄
53:09 Is he saying Adam isn’t Harmony’s father?
And who are the other people? And why didn’t they do any comparison to Kayla and did he say that crystals dna was there
The da should have asked very simple re direct bc it isn’t clear
Anyone else notice THE "Aaaaa,,,,Uhmmmm,,," lady? Montgomery's lawyer does this in almost EVERY question. ANNOYING!!! And makes her look incompetent as a defense attorney. Not that he needs one. Hes guilty! Trial DONE! HOPE HE GETS THE SAME FATE THAT HE GAVE HIS BABY LIL GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes!! She's driving me batty!! She needs to retire because she really sucks!
Rose Smith was a **powerful** witness for the prosecution. The fear she has of Adam is palpable, even years later. She had the words to “soften” Adam’s rage; little Harmony didn’t.
Portland Pie Company is open to the public and not closed. I’m assuming people will stay away now. You never know what dead child is in the cooler. That’s so disgusting. This is exactly why Adam is not in the courtroom. Worst strategy of the Defense.
The other thought is what went in the pies you never know with that monster🤢
They’ve been closed down for a couple years.
Adam placed Harmony in the freezer of his pizza place he was employed at as well
The exact y he's not in court is because of the NH Jurisdiction, it's his right not to appear. he's already charged with 30 to 60 year gun weapons.
I’m kind of surprised that there aren’t health and safety regulations that do not allow any personal items in coolers or any food storage area. Like, what??
Good Grief! The only witnesses/friends, former friends can not be believed.
I been watching harmony trial I would like know why Kayla is not charge with murder she just sat there and did nothing because she was afraid of Adam did she stop to think how afraid harmony was.
So strange how the pizza joint never questioned an employee storing items in work-related freezer. Most employers do not allow for anything an employee has and can be known as a board of health violation in some cases. In any event who but Herman Munster takes a giant cooler for lunch
The audio is sure inconsistent. The prosecutors move around and are difficult to hear much of the time.
5:19:51 omg….she is talking in circles and confusing me…how is he following along with her?!
4:51:02 detective Rahill back on the stand after lunch ❤️
I am actually surprised he is letting his attorneys handle things without him.
Well that was the worst motion to reconsider I’ve ever heard from a defence - no one called in to identify someone walking down the street carrying a bag of lime and a power tool 🤦🏼♀️
😂🙌😂🙌😂🙌😂🙌
The woman defense attorney reminds me of Amber Herd’s female lawyer!
I have said the same thing. lol
I don't know how she could say that prosecutor "allegedly" accused him of dismemberment of the body when he already plead guilty to that. 🥴
Because that is the state’s allegation & Kayla - of course - blew that testimony up a few days ago. Adam pled guilty to abuse of a corpse that does not mean he specifically disposed of Harmony in the way the state alleged. The state is depending upon Kayla for a lot of this testimony & she’s spent so much time hopping from one foot to the next that she doesn’t know whether she’s coming or going.
The defense attorney is doing her job. I know people hate her but I’m glad I live in a country where it’s the state’s job to prove guilt & citizens are assured a vigorous defense.
@@The_True_Boo_Radley OP did say dismembered though, not disposed. So the question is still valid.
@@oppositeofamnesia the state alleges that an aspect of the disposal of Harmony’s remains was dismemberment. The defense disputes that. Adam did not plead guilty to “dismemberment” he pled guilty to abuse of a corpse. And until the state proves its case the other claims/charges are only allegations. Does that clear things up?
Ok im catching up late night. This defense attorney is so deeming and a B. at -1:55:30 or so she actually says to the detective after his response was “I don’t recall” she says “ok, im going to try a little bit slower then….” Like he is an idiot. I’d be so pissed
God bless these prosecutors for taking adman on even with so little to work with 😭🙌🏽 let truth rain lord!
Why won't the judge order Adam to go to court?I don't understand it
Adam has the right to waive appearing in court for trial. I believe he does have to appear for sentencing though.
@@GinaE1271Good... hopefully the public can see his face when the verdict and sentencing are pronounced.
It's the Jurisdiction of NH allows him not to appear. But he has to appear with the victim statements are read and verdict.
6:24:27 that purse😂😂😂😂 lord the way she does cases i know she didn’t cost much. she’s amber heards attorney 😂😂
The Defense Attorney has a hard time keeping the facts straight, it seems. I heard Kayla's testimony, and even at 70 am able to remember her direct and cross testimony about the "power tools"....which place she saw what; and her testimony about "the bathroom" etc. I bet the Judge remembers, too. Prosecutor set the Record straight for Defense about Kayla's ACTUAL testimony, Bank, Home Depot; but I doubt Defense got the facts straight in spite of all that!
“ANDDDDDDD UMMMMMMMMMM” X 6,554 more! omg it is what nightmares are made of!!!!
It appears that the defense attorney is not prepared. It sounds like she’s making up questions as she is reading a transcript.
I haven't seen a killer hide behind his cell, instead of facing what he did to his baby girl the coward.. He should of left the little girl in the street, the street rats would of made she had a better life, then that child killer gave her . Don't comprehend when did child protective service decided to yank her from the only home she knew, to a heroin dad..
Why are the defense making such a big deal about the lime and tools when they already instructed the jury in opening to find him guilty of abuse of a corpse?
How come nobody asked if they notice a bad smell in the pie place freezer or in the kitchen?
Re:Brendon Middleton's testimony; Couldn't it be considered prejudicial to have someone testify while they're wearing a prison jumpsuit? I know all testimony opens up with the witness stating where they live and if they currently reside in jail they have to say that, but even Kayla was wearing what could pass for a regular sweatsuit.
Well it’s actually a restricted housing unit (RHU) sweatshirt so it technically could pass for a regular sweatshirt however those of us who know, know she’s in jail.
But I do get what you mean. Those of us who didn’t know would thinks it’s normal clothing.
The sound, when the attorneys walk and talk, is terrible.
That defense attorney…goodness 😖
Adam Montgomery is done
Where's the live chat?
It's thereb
If you’re on your phone you have to tap the comments box then swipe left
Why would ANY judge let a parent with CURRENT drug issues get any sort of custody or visitation?
If you choose drugs over your kids, you should be proud of your decision & never talk to anyone under 18 again. Ridiculous people still think drug issues aren’t a CHOICE YOU MAKE. Did someone hold a g*n to their heads & “make them get high?” NO!
That sweet girl didn’t get to choose her parents, & they should’ve chose her first.
NH and Mass DCYF need to create Harmony's Law...
@@kluv7139DCYF needs to be charged. IMO
On the receipt am i crazy or is it diamond blade not a Diablo as they are referring to it as?
My first thought was diamond blade as well.
Apparently Crystal said Adam was abandoned by his mother as a child.
Shanda Vander Ark was abused by her father and step-father.
They are broken people, sociopaths, which can be created by natural "mean traits" combined with childhood, particularly parental trauma...but it's no an excuse to not only continue but magnify the abuse on their own children.
They should've gotten help earlier, not have children until they're deemed fit, have continuous therapy for the rest of their life
and be monitored if there are children in their care.
I would hate to be a defence counsel. It is just a job, but at the end of the day, defence still defends people like Adam, who are monsters. How can the defence argue DNA probability? If that is one of her arguments, then all DNA evidence ever done in history and its probability should be wiped out for every single person who is found deceased. It is a ridiculous argument.
This witness with braid is high as a Georgia pine tree
6:56:02 Rose is an Angel.. people may have no idea just how much danger she might be putting herself in when she is giving these addicts rides. Look at what happened here she got put into the middle of a horrible situation because she is being selfless 😢he could have really hurt her that day
2:02:16 imagine coming from maryland to be asked 2 questions. i guess it validates he had a bag there but 😮
I can’t ever watch this Defense Attorney, who must be Amber Heard’s Attorney’s sister!!!! Ughhhh 🙄
Are they instructed to look at the jury when answering questions? Why do they all do that?
There are times when the prosecutor will say to a witness, “And can you tell the jury..” So it’s pretty standard practice. Nothing too strange about it other than people like Amber Heard trying to garner sympathy by constantly speaking to the jurors more directly.
this guy 6:03:26 is always asking great questions they are a good team, BUT since this was a day after “thawing” her out wouldn’t be ask “how did the bathroom look” “dirty, smell clean”
She acts like all the cops are STUPID .... let me take this slower ! YUK
This may be a dumb question, but why haven't I seen Adam montgomery in the courtroom as most defendants are?
People on assistance must be paid well to have a $6000 bank balance
@kathyw2465 I think they got an income tax..That's how the got the apt on Union where he cut up Harmony and left in the Uhaul tryuck
It is so irritating listening to Adam's attorney she doesn't know how to articulate a sentence without saying uh and um every other word. Jesus information given
Defense lawyer AIR HEADED AGAIN who's the first witness oh that's right DNA DUH
My imaginary pet roach could've defended Adam better than that thing. She does nothing but talk in circles and confuse everyone. Smh.
