TL;DR

Adam Montgomery has been found guilty of murdering his 5-year-old daughter, Harmony, after a jury deliberated for about a day. He was also found guilty of second-degree assault, falsifying physical evidence, abuse of a corpse, and tampering with a witness and informants. Sentencing will be scheduled for after April 1, and prosecutors plan to request his presence. The defense rested without calling a witness, and the prosecution argued that Montgomery's ex-wife, Kayla Montgomery, was a victim of domestic abuse and part of his scheme to cover up the killing. Harmony's mother and foster mother locked arms in the courtroom as the guilty verdicts were read, and about 25% of the Manchester police force was involved in the investigation.
