Harmony Montgomery’s father was found guilty on Thursday of brutally beating the New Hampshire 5-year-old to death for having a bathroom accident in the car—and disposing of her body months later.
Adam Montgomery, 34, was convicted of all charges, including second-degree murder and second-degree assault, in connection with his daughter’s December 2019 death. At the start of the 10-day trial, defense lawyers said Montgomery would admit two charges, abuse of a corpse and falsifying physical evidence.
Montgomery, who is serving a 30-year prison sentence on an unrelated gun charge, never appeared in Hillsborough County Superior Court for his trial and was not present for the verdict. He will likely be sentenced in May, and he faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.
