NH Supreme Court Overturns Murder Conviction

A New Hampshire Supreme Court ruling has overturned Adam Montgomery’s murder conviction in the death of his five-year-old daughter, Harmony, whose body was never found — though police believed she died in 2019, two years before she was reported missing. The court ruled the murder charge shouldn’t have been tied to a lesser assault charge, potentially influencing the jury’s verdict. Montgomery, sentenced to 56 years, now faces a possible retrial on the murder charge — while other convictions, including abuse of a corpse and witness tampering, remain intact. The case, marked by tragedy and controversy, includes a $2.25 million settlement paid to Harmony’s mother after claims social workers ignored signs of abuse. Montgomery’s defense argued he didn’t kill her, suggesting she died alone with her stepmother, who testified she feared him and tried to intervene. The attorney general plans to retry the murder charge. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
