In a tragic case that has captivated the nation, Adam Montgomery, 34, has been found guilty on all charges in connection with the murder of his 5-year-old daughter, Harmony. The jury convicted Montgomery of second-degree murder, second-degree assault, witness tampering, abuse of a corpse, and falsifying physical evidence.

The verdict, reached after deliberations, brings a sense of justice and closure to Harmony's family and all those who knew and loved her. The trial, marked by disturbing descriptions and explicit language, carries a warning for viewers due to potentially distressing content.

Attorney General John Formella released a statement following the verdict, expressing condolences for Harmony and her loved ones. He acknowledged the hard work of the trial team and the Manchester Police Department, assuring the community that justice would continue to be sought and the people of New Hampshire protected.

Sentencing for Montgomery is expected to occur after April 1, with prosecutors planning to request his presence during the sentencing. The guilty verdict carries significant consequences, with Gov. Chris Sununu stating that Montgomery deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison, referring to him as a "monster."

Throughout the trial, the courtroom witnessed a substantial law enforcement presence, including a comforting presence from a Manchester police comfort dog. A verdict was reached after the jury asked a question regarding the legal definition of "consciously disregarded," clarifying that the jury was given the definition of recklessness.

As the trial progressed, the evidence presented included testimony from witnesses, DNA analysis, and accounts of different events related to the case. Jurors were given the ability to request a review of the evidence during their deliberations.

Since the beginning of the trial, Montgomery has not been in attendance and is not obligated to be present for the verdict. The trial has been streamed live on the Very Local app, allowing viewers to follow the proceedings on various platforms.

The conviction of Adam Montgomery serves as a grim reminder of the tragic fate that befell Harmony Montgomery. The memory and legacy of the young girl will be forever cherished, as her family and community continue to heal and seek solace.
