GUILTY NH - Harmony Montgomery, 7, Manchester, missing after placed in Father's Custody in 2019, reported 2021, *1 Guilty perjury, 1 guilty weapons* #3

How much was she making? So gross.

Not the OP, but the household would receive state & Federal benefits per child in the household.

More Section 8 bedrooms, more TANF, more SNAP benefits/food stamps. Every month!

I see that @Laughing has provided info on what KM had to gain by keeping Harmony in their household. IIRC, KM continued to fraudulently claim social welfare benefits for Harmony even after Harmony was gone.

Judge denies Adam Montgomery's request to sever cases

The judge also ruled on Adam Montgomery's request to exclude evidence of Home Depot purchases after Harmony's presumed death.

www.courttv.com

[...]

In their order denying the motion, Judge Amy Messer cited commonality in the dockets: “The defendant is the common perpetrator and Harmony is the common victim” and Kayla is a “central witness in both cases.” Among other factors, the judge also cited “significant duplication” of witnesses, testimony and evidence.

In a separate order, the judge addressed Adam’s request to prevent prosecutors from showing some key pieces of evidence to the jury. Previously, his attorneys asked that an encounter Adam had with police on Dec. 31, 2021, before his arrest, be excluded from evidence. They also asked the judge to prevent the prosecution from introducing evidence that he purchased lime, a metal-cutting blade and a grinder from Home Depot.

The judge ruled the police encounter will not be excluded, but did limit the prosecution on their intent to introduce evidence of Adam’s “demeanor.” The ruling also limits some of the evidence surrounding Adam’s weapons convictions and other incidents of alleged abuse against Kayla and Harmony. The judge denied Adam’s request to prevent evidence of the Home Depot purchases.

Judge rules on what evidence can be introduced at Adam Montgomery's murder trial

A New Hampshire judge has made a ruling about what evidence the jury can see in the upcoming trial of Adam Montgomery, who is accused of murdering his 5-year-old daughter, Harmony.

www.wmur.com

[...]

The judge ruled that the jury can see a video from a September 2021 encounter between Adam Montgomery and police in which officers questioned him about Harmony's whereabouts. But jurors won't be allowed to hear the audio of the questions put to him because of his right to remain silent.

The court also said prosecutors can only introduce evidence relating to alleged domestic violence against Adam Montgomery's wife, Kayla Montgomery, from between December 2019 and January 2022. Nothing involving incidents prior to that range can be admitted.

Prosecutors can also only discuss alleged neglect and abuse toward Harmony in that time frame.

Evidence of drug use can also be introduced. Prosecutors had argued that drug use can lead to paranoia, and it would answer a lot of questions, including why the family became homeless. Prosecutors also believe drug use is directly connected to the circumstances around Harmony's death.

Prosecutors likely tried to work out a plea agreement, said Keefe, the Nashua defense lawyer. He said with the conviction in the firearms case, the sentence offered likely would have been steep.

Montgomery “has nothing to lose” by going to trial, Keefe said.

Throughout the investigation, police have kept Harmony’s memory alive by including pictures of her on poster boards at most news conferences.

She would be 9 years old now.

The emotional aspects of the case will likely play in the prosecution’s favor, Keefe said.

“A jury is going to want to blame someone,” he said.

This is one of the worst cases of child abuse I've ever read here. What a monster.

Hopefully Kayla will testify to everything, and he will be locked away.

 

[mickey2942]

Another case, where DCFS was notified of abuse, prior to a child's death. I would think that a report made on a child living with a bio father who had been in prison, and a step mother, any report of abuse would have been throughly investigated. Great, a caseworker checked on her...that person should be fired.

The rest of the story is even more gruesome. Kept the dead body of a child? Carting her around?! In a freezer at work, in a ceiling at their shelter? Until the bag was "leaking"?

Gross. And weird. So, I am thinking, fastest jury conclusion since Alex Murdaugh trial. I don't know why this guy didn't take a plea?! Well, he isn’t going anywhere.

Jury selection continues tomorrow. The defendant requested leg shackles instead of a brace due to discomfort and the judge obliged. This dude is so gross, what about Harmony's discomfort after he repeatedly punched her in the head?
