Adam Montgomery Trial Day 4

Kayla Montgomery is on the stand again today as the defense continues to cross-examine her. Testimony was cut short due to Kayla getting a migraine on Friday. Kayla allegedly witnessed the abuse Adam inflicted upon his daughter, Harmony, which caused her death. Adam Montgomery's defense team says Kayla is to blame for Harmony's death, and Adam was covering for her when he helped hide Harmony's body for several months. Adam Montgomery has not been in court since day one of jury selection. Will he show up today? Tune in and find out!

Adam Montgomery stands accused of causing his 5-year-old daughter, Harmony's death in 2019. Although her body has never been found, police in New Hampshire charged him with the crime in the fall of 2022. He is charged with second-degree murder, second-degree assault, abuse of a corpse, falsifying evidence, and witness tampering.

Prosecutors say Adam Montgomery punched Harmony to death in 2019 while in a car with his estranged wife Kayla and their two boys. Kayla told investigators that Adam hit Harmony in the head with a closed fist because she had a "bathroom accident" in the car the family was living in at the time. Kayla stated this had happened three separate times on Dec. 9, 2019. She said that after the final blow, Adam said words to the effect that he felt something or heard something when he hit Harmony, and, "I think I really hurt her this time. I think I did something."

The couple is accused of hiding Harmony's body by moving her around and placing her in a duffle bag, a cooler, and attic space. Investigators suspect Adam dismembered Harmony and disposed of her body.
