New Hampshire High Court Throws Out Adam Montgomery’s Murder Conviction
The New Hampshire Supreme Court unanimously overturned Adam Montgomery’s second-degree murder conviction in the 2019 death of his daughter Harmony, ruling prosecutors failed to corroborate Kayla Montgomery’s testimony that he killed Harmony—finding the evidence supports only her account of events after the death. The decision remands the murder charge for possible retrial while upholding the other convictions (falsifying evidence, witness tampering, second-degree assault) and related sentences; Montgomery remains imprisoned for those convictions, with the corpse-abuse sentence suspended for 25 years.
