I agree! This poor baby was so terrified she showed her terror by releasing. I feel so badly for Harmony. Kayla and Adam make my blood boil. Niether of them should ever see the light of day. I know Kayla didn't kill Harmony, but to put that monster first while a child is being tortured and eventually killed by her father, your husband is unforgivable. I HATE them BOTH!!
Here’s to hoping somebody sues the state and the department of social services over their plain indifference toward this child. They facilitated her death by dumping her with these monsters and never looking back.
Robyn, 100%! Would love to see a new law in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire for full background checks cross state lines and not to turn over a child just because the person shares DNA = Harmony's Law.
That poor child wet her self from being in an abusive household and being beat constantly. This case is devastating! I hope they find harmony , she deserves a resting place, not somewhere like trash. She deserves to be here alive more than anything, all these people that never stepped up and helped her!!!
It's time for the system to stop coddling junkies and so called domestic violence "victims" who are sometimes just clearly people who only testify to save their own necks.
Agree 💯. Both being charged with 1st degree and convicted imho is the only justice. Kayla is a pathological liar and his twin. Imho she was inconsistent in her testimony within this trial as well and that can lead to her being charged. If not, she will be out in Oct walking the streets and hooking up with another Adam. I pray she isn't capable of having any more babies. All of those babies could have passed from substance exposure and its a miracle they didn't. She loves herself, Adam and her next fix.
The first part of kaylas story is mearly hear say. Noone saw anything there was no evidence in either car. I still think she's lying. I think they both did this and she is just trying to blame him to get out of her own sentence. Because at this point her word is pointless. She needs charged too. She was there rhe whole time. So any charge adam has she should have it too
@@christintempleton8686I agree with you 100% but that defense attorney lady sucks! She did a terrible job at telling a story. She literally sounded like she was winging it as she went. Like she learned information through media not studying the case or evidence. I don’t know what it was. She just was not a good defense attorney”story teller.” They are both 100% guilty. I believe Adam killed her but Kayla was there through ALL of it and helped cover it up until she couldn’t anymore.
Thank you Mr prosecutor for being the voice for Harmony. Thank you for taking this case very seriously and doing all your effective homework to convict this monster. Thank you for tearing down the defense's (weak) attempt to set this evil monster free of charges. Well done Sir, very well done. I really admire this prosecutor and also the prosecutor that worked the Shanda Vander Ark case too
Jurors have a lot of responsibility to dot all the "i's" and cross the "t's". If I'm understanding correctly, they may have been sent back without their verdict forms. If so, that's Courts fault. But the paperwork has to be filled out. They will be swift I think.
The CPS system is completely overwhelmed with people breeding who have no business bringing children into this world. Drugs , homelessness , poverty , ignorance all add to this misery . I wasn’t impressed with that CPSW who visited the home and didn’t think anything was wrong after the uncle called In and reported that Harmony had been assaulted . And it’s interesting that he is now working for the post office and why he wasn’t asked why he left DCYF.
@@paulapierce8359 Totally agree with you @paulapierce359 about the breeding bit. Males are born with one main purpose on their minds and that is to pass their genes. They have not evolved nor will they ever. So, women need to step up to the plate, and stop f@cking these males! They arexthe ones with the wombs, they are the ones with the power. Women have the value and need to reset their way of thinking
I'll hand it to the defense attorney- she's giving it her all. She's doing her best with what she has. But flip the story around- what father would be okay with his daughter dying in his fellow junkie/ wife's care and then continuously transport and ultimately dismember the body... A wife that he had no problem knocking around...This guy had a temper. He was a coward and consistently took the lazy way in life, and he would not have gone down for Kayla. Guilty!
I understand the defense had to give a defense, but that "baby girl" repetition infuriated me! I could not listen to the rest of the defense closing... and BOY O' BOY the Prosecution came out swinging with many "mic drops" Thank God for Ben Agati; he touched on all the points that I have been posting about... obviously, he listened and took notes - my hero!!! 💪
The State Prosecutor absolutely cracking, brilliant, completely meticulous and accurate making the defence team look like dribbling embarrassing amateur’s …
Her timeline of how things went down is off . I don't remember hearing some of this stuff. She's adding things that we're not testified Not all but here and there I think
You’re delusional if you think she believes what’s coming out of her mouth. Smh. She just doing a job and be thankful their defense sucked. He’s in prison now
Why do I feel like as we the people sit and wait for a verdict- Kayla is probably sitting in her cell writing love notes to Adam? Why was she not charged? She had inconsistencies in this Trial as well- so her deal should go out the window. They are both guilty of 1st degree imho along with the other charges. I pray she doesnt procreate any more. I pray Harmony gets the justice- although no justice is enough. And justice would only come if they were both charged and convicted imho. RIP precious Harmony.

I totally agree. The father is the one ultimately to blame. He put his child through this hell and killed her with that trashy wife of his. She will get whats coming to her. She is a criminal. Jail is where she will end up. God bless you little Harmony.
Harmony was so petrified to tell that monster she had to go to the bathroom. So she held it as long as she could. Don’t forget, they were living in a car!! Where’s the bathroom? That’s why Harmony had accidents!!
I'm not understanding how a verdict form was not available today. The jury can't proceed without one even if they've already decided. Huge court error.
They have multiple forms to fill out and multiple charges to go through. There’s no way they would have a decision today any way on that much paperwork on all counts.

@@leahhamilton2131 yes but aren’t we glad She did horribly ? Would you be happy if the defense team was great and could have inserted a lot of reasonal doubt and he walks out free or less time ????
@@Daughterofmoses77 All I'm saying is that I wouldn't want any of them to defend me- guilty or not - and it was hard for me to even follow his claims because the info was presented so poorly. They're shitty defense attorneys period, not just because of WHO they're defending, although fitting lol. Just giving my opinion, as everyone else in this feed is also doing.......Not disagreeing with your stance but stating the obvious.
I get the defence have to work for him, but repeating Wake up baby girl was not nessacery 😢 Guilty, Max sentance. And Kayla too. She lied too many times.
It is so sad that precious little Harmony left this world feeling unloved, scared, probably hungry and so confused. From just a couple months old, she was bounced from here to there. I pray at some point she did feel loved by someone. She had her entire life ahead of her. She should have been collecting rocks and giving that one special one to someone who loved her whom she knew would cherish the rock because her little hands and heart gave it to them. Im a mom- i have those special rocks handed to me by our Son. She should have been drawing rainbows and flowers with sidewalk chalk - carefree and happy. She should have been chasing butterflies and catching fireflies. Instead she was stuck in a car, or some other terrible situation. She will never get to be in her 1st spelling bee; meet her first friend; play hide n seek with her brothers; pick flowers; splash in puddles; get her first boy crush; graduate; college; get married and become a mother herself. You all didnt deserve Harmony. Harmony deserved the best. If there are any parents watching this that are struggling with addiction- please let someone else care for your children and get yourself help so you can be parents to your children. If you cant beat the addiction, or choose not to, please give your children a better life. This has to stop. Why did he want Harmony? A check- food stamps? Really? If that were the case, no matter how wrong- having her should have helped your situation. But you chose substances. RIP precious baby girl. Im sorry you were failed by everyone. 😢
1:28:35 "PEACEFULLY ASLEEP"??? Are you insane?? That poor baby girl was battered and bruised and NOT looking like she was "PEACEFULLY SLEEPING." I understand that this attorney is going whatever she can to TRY to get her client off, but it is so EXTREMELY obvious who k*lled poor, innocent, little Harmony.
This whole trial has been ridiculous. How could a judge not make sure that a verdict form was not prepared before the jury went to deliberate? Have never, ever seen this. I would be livid if I was on this jury, regardless, if they had a verdict or not.
This poor sweet baby girl! I can’t think about it without going to tears. I personally think Adam, Kayla, the judge who gave Harmony to Adam and the DCFS worker are all responsible and should be held accountable! Disgusting!
This is so sad. I’ve been following this story since the beginning and parts of this trial I’ve had to fast forward because it’s so hard to listen to what Harmony went through and how her body was handled even after her death. Evil, these people are evil! RIP Harmony, may your soul rest in peace and find love on the other side because she sure didn’t get love on this side.
I think Kayla helped Adam kill that little girl! Why would any Step-Mother or Mother not protect a child? Wouldn't you put a child's welfare before your own? Kayla and Adam both should be charged!
Because they both hated her !!! They were both using serious drugs . People using hard drugs do not think or behave normally - she had no instinct to protect or parent her -
Do you guys ever think the defense attorneys do a bad job on purpose? I highly doubt they can sleep at night fully defending guilty people so in turn, they do what they HAVE to do and that is to to the lease they have to do.
They are required to provide zealous advocacy, however I'm sure it affects them subconsciously. Best example is the defense atty for VanderArk... His interview after the verdict said it all... But he still showed up and did the work.
@@oppositeofamnesiayes I agree, the defense attorney in the trial of Shanda Vander Ark did what he could do I'm sure he knew the whole time he was fighting a losing battle. But they still have to do the best that they can. Otherwise, the defendant can file an inadequate defense appeal.
How can she say she looked peacefully asleep when adam tried waking his baby girl up?? No child looks peaceful when their face is black and blue with eyes swollen shut, nowhere near peacefully asleep 💔 death sentence to both of them for carting her poor dead body around for as long as they did! The one that didn't commit her murder could have easily gotten away to report and have harmony put to rest! Not move her body from place to place!! They did this together, life for a life!!
@@piper_lori-williams-tudhopeshe did look hammered today - think it’s because she knew she had to defend a client she knows is guilty of all the charges . Maybe she tied one on last night - or was up all night
I’m wondering if Harmony suffered from a urinary tract infection, given having to sit in that mess all consistently. A UTI would not allow her to make it to the bathroom. So sad for children experiencing child abuse. These two were serious drug addicts. I don’t know why they were still allowed to have these children.
This may sound terrible but maybe Harmony was sexually abused hence peeing and pooping. Good reason for both ADAM & KAYLA to never say were Harmony’s body is.😢😢😢 BOTH are monsters. Too bad Kayla got her sweet deal with the DA!!!!
Right out of Kalyas mouth they did not bring them to the bathrooms, they expected a 5 yr old scared and emotional shattered child to tell them when she needed to go, hell the probably to her to hold it.
Living in an abusive and unstable home/environment alone can cause potty issues. I believe foster mom said they'd didn't have potty issues when harmony was there. So many factors, but junkie parents can't see that kind of logic
@@karlabravo6657 Not always the case. She was too scared to ask. She was probably suffering some brain damage caused by Adam punching her in the face. Brain injury will cause incontinence.
I think exactly the same thing - she must have had a UTI .O Ne reason they kept her was for $ - Kayla was charged with welfare fraud . She continued collecting im pretty sure after H was dead
Amazing closing argument by prosecution 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💜💜💜 I believe jury will come to the same conclusion so many of us have, guilty as charged! I pray her body is found some day ❤
1:50:14 how can she possibly say that nobody could continue to love somebody, nobody could stand by Adam after doing something like that. what a moron. and her insinuating that the boys couldn't be silent or sleeping during abuse is pathetic. kids can get used to awful things quick if it's their baseline. if they see Adam beating harmony all the time, it would be nothing to them to see it that day
I can not understand why is the State giving a life sentence to these Father and Mother killer's that kill there children. They should give them the Death Sentence knowing they killed there children. Why would the State continue to support these mosters.
In addition to not having a verdict form, this court let's out at 4PM every day, sometimes I've seen 2:30 PM or earlier during this trial. It's not 9AM to 5PM or even close.
I fully understand that the defendant is not legally required to call witnesses nor 'prove' his innocence, however, I think the prosecution should have mentioned in their closing that the best the defense could come up with is harassing drug addicts with legal issues about being a typical drug addict and criminal. They did not bring a single solitary witness to impeach anything they heard throughout the gathering of evidence. No one to impeach Kayla's testimony, none of the friend's testimony. They didn't put up a single witness that vouched for his sainthood as a father, yet the defense attorney sure can yammer about that. She reminds me so much of Amber Heard's attorney Elaine Bredehoft (sp?). I tell you what, if it were me being charged with a murder I didn't commit I sure as hell would be asking people to testify on my behalf. Not a single person showed up for him. I think that speaks volumes.
When the defence doesn't present any evidence or witnesses it's as good as admitting the defendant is guilty. The defendant got the defence he deserved.
I see adam not in court again today. Nice to see court room full especially so many police officers, must have been a very hard case for them to deal with especially being a young child and no body found. Let's hope the jury come to the right decision. GUILTY and life without parole.
This defense attorney who is representing Adam is even putting down all the detectives and police officers who worked so hard to bring this case to trial.
Even if he’s not convicted of manslaughter, he’s not leaving jail for a very long time given what he did TO the body. He still has many charges to face. The verdict form will have all the crimes listed. Each having sentencing guidelines. I can’t see Kayla getting away with light sentences knowing how he handled the body. She still has suspended sentences over her head. But she’s not on trial here. I didn’t hear he was suicidal until the defense closing.
In Kayla’s testimony she stated Adam was suicidal… that he had tried twice I believe. I’ll go back and see if I can find the exact time stamp on the video for you. I think they should both be in jail forever.
I believe it is apocryphal but quicklime is often portrayed in popular media as aiding in decomposition. However, I think it actually does the opposite. It slows putrefaction and also helps cover the ensuing smell. I have heard of farmers using quicklime to suppress odors.
@-the_autistic_samana- I completely forgot about lye. Then again I'm not trying to get rid of bodies. I'm really hoping the jury can see through the bs.
@@Por2ugal Anytime there is sicko like this and it is a young child and what they did to her body. I’d take bets that he will get beat within an inch of his life, many times.
She’s contradicting herself. She says Adam was saying wake up, baby girl over and over, but then she says harmony was already dead in the duffel bag. It can’t be both! Make it make sense. Also, people who are on drugs don’t act like normal people, specially heroin, and crack together! You become a drug, not a human.
That's what I say. People are thinking about these people's actions as if they are and do normal things. They are drug addicts and were doing heavy drugs at that time.
His Public Pretender Really was Awful.. She's the same One who helped Him get the last 60 Year's.. Slam Dunk for the Prosecution... Say Her Name - Harmony Montgomery ❤
A Massachusetts judge gave him custody when her mother was having drug problems . NH Gov Sununu released a damning statement directed at this judge for his order
Got about halfway through the defense closing until Elaine the 2nd said Rebecca Maines was lying about Adam saying he hated Harmony because she reminded him of Crystal. Ms. Mains, other than the investigators/police officers, was probably the most credible witness on the stand because she didn't lie or shy away from her previous wrongdoings while she was in the throes of a heroin addiction, and she stood up for herself and wasn't going to allow the lawyer version of Adam (male defense attorney) twist or manipulate her words. She was Adam's best friend and she had nothing to gain from her testimony, like she told lawyer Adam when he tried to insinuate that. So... I'm physically unable to listen to anymore of Elaine the 2nd's BS. If he truly believed in his innocence, he'd show his squirrely-lookin evil face. But, no... a strip search (which is normal when inmates go in/out of the prison) is too much of a barrier for him, even though his freedom and "innocence" depends on it. Nah, he's just a deadbeat who only wanted Harmony so he could get the extra paycheck to spend on drugs... and then he beat her to death. He doesn't even have the integrity or courtesy to tell where her remains are so she can be recovered and properly buried. He never cared about Harmony then, and he doesn't care about her now. He doesn't deserve to see the sun ever again for the rest of his miserable life. He's truly the spawn of Satan.
I was on a jury that found a defendant guilty. There is a lot of discussion and a lot of paperwork., especially if a child is involved in the case. Harmony deserves justice.I hope we get the verdict soon !!
I hope no one takes this wrong but a part of me is glad this poor little girl doesn't have to endure this monster any more. She is with God. Her suffering has ended Yes I wish she was still here but not going through that.
There's often talk on why an abused or battered victim doesn't leave. Personally, if a guy was beating her and kids, then murders a child....I'd be petrified of him or any murderer. But....we have laws. Both are responsible in their own right.. The witness said, Adam kept saying, "I f'ed up" over and over. Sad case either way.
I want to know why ANY judge would give custody of an disabled 5 yo to meth addicted petty criminal!!!! That issue SERIOUSLY needs to be investigated!!! Who was the judge truly responsible for putting that baby in harm's way??? Disgusting!!!

@@leahhamilton2131 yes but aren’t we glad
She did horribly ? Would you be happy if the defense team was great and could have inserted a lot of reasonal doubt and he walks out free or less time ????
Her heart couldn't defend his actions. Tried but failed. This happens.@@Daughterofmoses77
@@Daughterofmoses77 All I'm saying is that I wouldn't want any of them to defend me- guilty or not - and it was hard for me to even follow his claims because the info was presented so poorly. They're shitty defense attorneys period, not just because of WHO they're defending, although fitting lol. Just giving my opinion, as everyone else in this feed is also doing.......Not disagreeing with your stance but stating the obvious.
Wasn't sure the prosecution had it together but sure hammered it home. Well done
I get the defence have to work for him, but repeating Wake up baby girl was not nessacery 😢 Guilty, Max sentance. And Kayla too. She lied too many times.
He definitely murdered her but I cannot see how Kayla will not be charged as an accomplice. She was complicit.
Personally, I do not believe he ever called her that. Not ever in her life or in her death.
Mr. Agati was on fire with his closing. Here's to a guilty verdict today!
When he started raising his voice I got chills!!!
I will completely give up on any faith in people to do the right thing if Adam is not convicted of this murder.
I'm 99% sure he will be convicted
@@beckyboo1433 you were right
@@SSN-tl8vh 😁 I had faith. There was a lot of evidence against him. Even minus Kayla's testimony. They shouldn't have given her that good of a deal 😞
@@SSN-tl8vh also I'm glad they're making him show up for the sentencing and victim impact statements. That's the least he can do!
WOW the prosecutor was amazing. Justice for Harmony💜💜 GUILTY on all charges. What a monster unbelievable !!!
Beautiful delivery of closing statements from the prosectution!!!!!!!!!
It is so sad that precious little Harmony left this world feeling unloved, scared, probably hungry and so confused. From just a couple months old, she was bounced from here to there. I pray at some point she did feel loved by someone.
She had her entire life ahead of her. She should have been collecting rocks and giving that one special one to someone who loved her whom she knew would cherish the rock because her little hands and heart gave it to them. Im a mom- i have those special rocks handed to me by our Son. She should have been drawing rainbows and flowers with sidewalk chalk - carefree and happy. She should have been chasing butterflies and catching fireflies. Instead she was stuck in a car, or some other terrible situation. She will never get to be in her 1st spelling bee; meet her first friend; play hide n seek with her brothers; pick flowers; splash in puddles; get her first boy crush; graduate; college; get married and become a mother herself. You all didnt deserve Harmony. Harmony deserved the best.
If there are any parents watching this that are struggling with addiction- please let someone else care for your children and get yourself help so you can be parents to your children. If you cant beat the addiction, or choose not to, please give your children a better life. This has to stop.
Why did he want Harmony? A check- food stamps? Really? If that were the case, no matter how wrong- having her should have helped your situation. But you chose substances. RIP precious baby girl. Im sorry you were failed by everyone. 😢

"PEACEFULLY ASLEEP"???
Are you insane?? That poor baby girl was battered and bruised and NOT looking like she was "PEACEFULLY SLEEPING."
I understand that this attorney is going whatever she can to TRY to get her client off, but it is so EXTREMELY obvious who k*lled poor, innocent, little Harmony.
Everything they did with that poor child's body was disturbing
This whole trial has been ridiculous. How could a judge not make sure that a verdict form was not prepared before the jury went to deliberate? Have never, ever seen this. I would be livid if I was on this jury, regardless, if they had a verdict or not.
Wait what??? What’s a verdict form and why wasn’t it given to jury??
What’s happening! Is there a court error?
@@BamaSquirrelright, I don't understand this comment, either... Thought the judge did a good job.
Things also differ state to state, I've done jury duty in Maine & never heard of a verdict from..
@@jillcarter9877 AM probably told his defense to prolong it best way they could. Seems he has a god control freak complex
Oh wow what a brilliant closing statement from the prosecutor. Boom 💥.
Right
No verdict yet??? Shocking
They were sent home at 4 PM. It resumes tomorrow at 8:45.
No way, how do you know this? @@healthyhealingsolutions
They only started deliberating after 2:00
This poor sweet baby girl! I can’t think about it without going to tears. I personally think Adam, Kayla, the judge who gave Harmony to Adam and the DCFS worker are all responsible and should be held accountable! Disgusting!
I agree! I hope Harmony’s mom pushes for more lawsuits on all those incompetent agencies, and people!
That mass judge - he should be disbarred and sued
@@paulapierce8359 absolutely! At the very least!
@@piper_lori-williams-tudhope couldn’t agree more!
Soon I 🙏🏽 “PRAY” 🙏🏽 we will have a new law called, “Harmony’s Law” 🥹😢💝
I could not be a defense attorney. I couldn't sleep at night.
Sorry the only thing that comes to mind after hearing defence close is WOULD YOU LEAVE YOUR CHILD with him Caroline?!?!?!
Thank you Mr. Agati! Thank you, Jury! Guilty on all charges!! Justice for Harmony💜💟💜💟💜💟💕
Jury was sent home for the day. See you all tomorrow.
How do you know the jury was sent home? Sorry, I stepped away for 20 minutes and must have missed something
@@grngooseputter It was literally announced, They were sent home for the day due to a missing verdict form
How can they not have a guilty verdict by now
@@laurenhoffman2751if they don’t have the form it doesn’t matter if they have a verdict or not they HAVE to have the form
This is so sad. I’ve been following this story since the beginning and parts of this trial I’ve had to fast forward because it’s so hard to listen to what Harmony went through and how her body was handled even after her death. Evil, these people are evil! RIP Harmony, may your soul rest in peace and find love on the other side because she sure didn’t get love on this side.
Thank God this trial is over! How much did we have to hear about this angel being abused by her father???
RIP Harmony
The Prosecutor did an Uhhhhhmazing job with closing!!
Well done, Sir!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I hope he is in the courtroom for the verdict.
I'm not sure but I think he has to be there for the verdict and sentencing.
@@tygressmomma I would think so
Good morning everyone! Hoping to see justice for Harmony today!!! ❤
I think Kayla helped Adam kill that little girl! Why would any Step-Mother or Mother not protect a child? Wouldn't you put a child's welfare before your own? Kayla and Adam both should be charged!
She absolutely did. And only turned on him because she was made he found someone else.
I dont think she helped but i know she didnt do much to stop it i bet if it was one of her kids she would have done alot more
A drug addict couldn’t care less about anything but their drugs and more so the hard drugs they were on! That’s why she didn’t care
This is an outdated societal assumption.
Because they both hated her !!! They were both using serious drugs . People using hard drugs do not think or behave normally - she had no instinct to protect or parent her -
Do you guys ever think the defense attorneys do a bad job on purpose? I highly doubt they can sleep at night fully defending guilty people so in turn, they do what they HAVE to do and that is to to the lease they have to do.
That’s a very good point. We also need them unfortunately.
They are required to provide zealous advocacy, however I'm sure it affects them subconsciously. Best example is the defense atty for VanderArk... His interview after the verdict said it all... But he still showed up and did the work.
@@oppositeofamnesiayes I agree, the defense attorney in the trial of Shanda Vander Ark did what he could do I'm sure he knew the whole time he was fighting a losing battle. But they still have to do the best that they can. Otherwise, the defendant can file an inadequate defense appeal.
I think so - they have to do their job but she made lots of mistakes and misquoted alot
"I fukd up." You can say that again. Im glad they had that prosecutor do the closing and not younger dude
4:16:37 this part of his closing arguments was just chilling. you can hear the emotion in his voice. more emotion then her father ever showed her.
Then why doesn’t he give an alternative series of events? His word against hers and he’s remaining silent
The prosecution is amazing! Closing arguments are stellar.
We are waiting for the jury to come back 100% guilty. Nothing less!
How can she say she looked peacefully asleep when adam tried waking his baby girl up?? No child looks peaceful when their face is black and blue with eyes swollen shut, nowhere near peacefully asleep 💔 death sentence to both of them for carting her poor dead body around for as long as they did! The one that didn't commit her murder could have easily gotten away to report and have harmony put to rest! Not move her body from place to place!! They did this together, life for a life!!
Adam is guilty! End of discussion! I believe this defense attorney got her license off the internet for $29.99
Lol
I agree I think she has some kinda brain damage or dementia or something she sux
No Frfr! She was horrible
😂😂😂 She looks like she doesn’t sleep. Maybe she was drunk? Her words were slurred and she sure stumbled them a lot.
She had to defend him so there would be no chance for a mistrial and he won’t have grounds to appeal a guilty verdict .
@@piper_lori-williams-tudhopeshe did look hammered today - think it’s because she knew she had to defend a client she knows is guilty of all the charges . Maybe she tied one on last night - or was up all night
I’m wondering if Harmony suffered from a urinary tract infection, given having to sit in that mess all consistently. A UTI would not allow her to make it to the bathroom. So sad for children experiencing child abuse. These two were serious drug addicts. I don’t know why they were still allowed to have these children.
This may sound terrible but maybe Harmony was sexually abused hence peeing and pooping. Good reason for both ADAM & KAYLA to never say were Harmony’s body is.😢😢😢 BOTH are monsters. Too bad Kayla got her sweet deal with the DA!!!!
Right out of Kalyas mouth they did not bring them to the bathrooms, they expected a 5 yr old scared and emotional shattered child to tell them when she needed to go, hell the probably to her to hold it.
Living in an abusive and unstable home/environment alone can cause potty issues. I believe foster mom said they'd didn't have potty issues when harmony was there. So many factors, but junkie parents can't see that kind of logic
@@karlabravo6657 Not always the case. She was too scared to ask. She was probably suffering some brain damage caused by Adam punching her in the face. Brain injury will cause incontinence.
I think exactly the same thing - she must have had a UTI .O Ne reason they kept her was for $ - Kayla was charged with welfare fraud . She continued collecting im pretty sure after H was dead
I pray they do something with Kayla she was totally involved
This prosecutor is GOLD!
Amazing closing argument by prosecution 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💜💜💜 I believe jury will come to the same conclusion so many of us have, guilty as charged! I pray her body is found some day ❤
More than Kasey Anthony shock if he gets away with this. He’s so guilty. 🤞🏻
1:50:14 how can she possibly say that nobody could continue to love somebody, nobody could stand by Adam after doing something like that. what a moron. and her insinuating that the boys couldn't be silent or sleeping during abuse is pathetic. kids can get used to awful things quick if it's their baseline. if they see Adam beating harmony all the time, it would be nothing to them to see it that day
I hate all child abuse cases but this one with harmony hurts my soul, she had nobody 😢😢😢❤❤❤
Poor Harmony was failed by so many.
Hope this verdict will happen soon and fair 🙏
Justice for Harmony ❤❤❤
I can not understand why is the State giving a life sentence to these Father and Mother killer's that kill there children. They should give them the Death Sentence knowing they killed there children. Why would the State continue to support these mosters.
*There’s no death penalty ruling in New Hampshire…unfortunately.*
No death penalty in New Hampshire.
Not every state allows Capital Punishment
He’s not charged with 1st degree to make him eligible even if they did have DP. He’s charged with 2nd degree + the other charges.
Not all states have the DP
1:50:00
This comment shows this lady knows NOTHING about DV... And for the love of God, PLEEEEEEEASE stop saying "wake up baby girl."
😡😡😡😡😡
I really thought they'd have a verdict today, they started late, but why send them home already, it's only been 2 and a half hours. Sigh
The jurors weren't given a verdict form today. Huge court error.
Say what! What in the world. Yes, huge error
Thanks for the info, thought it was odd
In addition to not having a verdict form, this court let's out at 4PM every day, sometimes I've seen 2:30 PM or earlier during this trial. It's not 9AM to 5PM or even close.
I fully understand that the defendant is not legally required to call witnesses nor 'prove' his innocence, however, I think the prosecution should have mentioned in their closing that the best the defense could come up with is harassing drug addicts with legal issues about being a typical drug addict and criminal. They did not bring a single solitary witness to impeach anything they heard throughout the gathering of evidence. No one to impeach Kayla's testimony, none of the friend's testimony. They didn't put up a single witness that vouched for his sainthood as a father, yet the defense attorney sure can yammer about that. She reminds me so much of Amber Heard's attorney Elaine Bredehoft (sp?). I tell you what, if it were me being charged with a murder I didn't commit I sure as hell would be asking people to testify on my behalf. Not a single person showed up for him. I think that speaks volumes.
When the defence doesn't present any evidence or witnesses it's as good as admitting the defendant is guilty. The defendant got the defence he deserved.
What a horrible defense! So he’s not guilty because they did it but Kayla lied about her part… but he did it, but he didn’t. So odd!
I see adam not in court again today. Nice to see court room full especially so many police officers, must have been a very hard case for them to deal with especially being a young child and no body found. Let's hope the jury come to the right decision. GUILTY and life without parole.
What time do the jurors reconvene for jury deliberations today?
Im also waiting i think 10?
Great job Ben! 🎉
This defense attorney who is representing Adam is even putting down all the detectives and police officers who worked so hard to bring this case to trial.
Even if he’s not convicted of manslaughter, he’s not leaving jail for a very long time given what he did TO the body. He still has many charges to face. The verdict form will have all the crimes listed. Each having sentencing guidelines. I can’t see Kayla getting away with light sentences knowing how he handled the body. She still has suspended sentences over her head. But she’s not on trial here.
I didn’t hear he was suicidal until the defense closing.
In Kayla’s testimony she stated Adam was suicidal… that he had tried twice I believe. I’ll go back and see if I can find the exact time stamp on the video for you.
I think they should both be in jail forever.
Um abuse of a corpse is like 1year
Am I crazy or is the defense straight up lying about the Lyme not being used to help decomp?!
I believe it is apocryphal but quicklime is often portrayed in popular media as aiding in decomposition. However, I think it actually does the opposite. It slows putrefaction and also helps cover the ensuing smell. I have heard of farmers using quicklime to suppress odors.
Lye corrodes tissue, lime preserves so thinking he made a fatal error
@@WestLondon97 ahhh ok! Thank y'all for clearing that up for me. I did not even think about lye.
@-the_autistic_samana- I completely forgot about lye. Then again I'm not trying to get rid of bodies.
I'm really hoping the jury can see through the bs.
The only reason Adam was fighting this is bc he knows what they do in prison to guys who hurt little girls.
There are thousands of people like him in jail. I doubt anything will happen to him. People think that to make themselves feel better
@@Por2ugal
Anytime there is sicko like this and it is a young child and what they did to her body. I’d take bets that he will get beat within an inch of his life, many times.
Weird how the new girlfriend mysterious died of OD and now his also Adam's dad......🤔
Agreed
That's what happens in the heroin world. People OD everyday especially now since (synthetic) fentanyl is pouring in throughour southern border
It's not weird. Overdoses are all too common unfortunately
It seems every one around them was using, so, it's the law of averages.
She’s contradicting herself. She says Adam was saying wake up, baby girl over and over, but then she says harmony was already dead in the duffel bag. It can’t be both! Make it make sense. Also, people who are on drugs don’t act like normal people, specially heroin, and crack together! You become a drug, not a human.
That's what I say. People are thinking about these people's actions as if they are and do normal things. They are drug addicts and were doing heavy drugs at that time.
Ty for letting us know see u tomorrow!
Guilty of all charges.
His Public Pretender Really was Awful.. She's the same One who helped Him get the last 60 Year's.. Slam Dunk for the Prosecution... Say Her Name - Harmony Montgomery ❤
I haven’t seen anything about the jury being sent home. Where can I watch or get updates like that?
I haven’t see that either. Would be nice if the judge states it. For all we know the screen could be like this til tomorrow morning 😡
On Wmur if you have the app -they sent an alert when the jury went home
Why did they give this monster custody of this baby! This agency needs to be held accountable , too!
A Massachusetts judge gave him custody when her mother was having drug problems . NH Gov Sununu released a damning statement directed at this judge for his order
@@paulapierce8359 mother was having drug problems? What about AM? He had major drug problems! That judge needs more than a reprimand.
Lime is good to take smell away. When you have an open septic they will use lime to cover up odor
excellent prosecutor
I believe he/they killed Harmony. I did not believe Kayla's testimony of how.
Got about halfway through the defense closing until Elaine the 2nd said Rebecca Maines was lying about Adam saying he hated Harmony because she reminded him of Crystal. Ms. Mains, other than the investigators/police officers, was probably the most credible witness on the stand because she didn't lie or shy away from her previous wrongdoings while she was in the throes of a heroin addiction, and she stood up for herself and wasn't going to allow the lawyer version of Adam (male defense attorney) twist or manipulate her words. She was Adam's best friend and she had nothing to gain from her testimony, like she told lawyer Adam when he tried to insinuate that. So... I'm physically unable to listen to anymore of Elaine the 2nd's BS. If he truly believed in his innocence, he'd show his squirrely-lookin evil face. But, no... a strip search (which is normal when inmates go in/out of the prison) is too much of a barrier for him, even though his freedom and "innocence" depends on it. Nah, he's just a deadbeat who only wanted Harmony so he could get the extra paycheck to spend on drugs... and then he beat her to death. He doesn't even have the integrity or courtesy to tell where her remains are so she can be recovered and properly buried. He never cared about Harmony then, and he doesn't care about her now. He doesn't deserve to see the sun ever again for the rest of his miserable life. He's truly the spawn of Satan.
I was on a jury that found a defendant guilty. There is a lot of discussion and a lot of paperwork., especially if a child is involved in the case. Harmony deserves justice.I hope we get the verdict soon !!
I hope no one takes this wrong but a part of me is glad this poor little girl doesn't have to endure this monster any more. She is with God. Her suffering has ended Yes I wish she was still here but not going through that.
He wanted to keep the drug addicts and kids together living in a car?
Prosecutor lawyer was excellent today🇨🇦
Concerned that the verdict is taking this long
They weren't given a verdict form today. Huge court error. They can't give their verdict without one.
WTH? Seriously! I missed the closing arguments.
The prosecution rested at 1:30 about - by the time the jury got lunch and settled in that didn’t give then much time today
@@susanbrowne7697 you can find it on court tv , TH-cam and Wmur
There's often talk on why an abused or battered victim doesn't leave. Personally, if a guy was beating her and kids, then murders a child....I'd be petrified of him or any murderer. But....we have laws. Both are responsible in their own right..
The witness said, Adam kept saying, "I f'ed up" over and over. Sad case either way.
I cant stand Adams attorney.
I’m cringing at all the BS coming out of the defence lawyers mouth, my God
I want to know why ANY judge would give custody of an disabled 5 yo to meth addicted petty criminal!!!! That issue SERIOUSLY needs to be investigated!!! Who was the judge truly responsible for putting that baby in harm's way??? Disgusting!!!
What's the consensus? (aside from the terrible defense lawyers)
Let’s be glad these defense lawyers are awful we’d be more pissed Ilhad they done a great job for a murderer
Adam is guilty as sin!!
Has the Judge let the Jury go for today?
I’m wondering the same thing did I miss something
I can’t even believe there’s people out there who defend this. Disgusting
