The Harmony Montgomery homicide trial continued this week, and so did the continuing testimony of Kayla Montgomery on Monday. The 5-year-old’s stepmom claimed final week it was her husband who killed Harmony. She stated Adam Montgomery punched her to demise after she had an accident within the automobile they’d been dwelling out of — after which talked to her about how he would eliminate the physique.

However, on Monday she added a brand new element. When Adam quickly moved the kid’s decomposing stays to the restaurant he was working at, the transport was truly her job. Kayla claims he pressured her to deliver the bag to the Portland Pie so he might cover his daughter’s physique within the walk-in freezer. She says the rubbish bag stuffed with Harmony’s stays was tucked inside a canvass maternity ward tote bag — and he or she introduced it in by hiding it within the stroller along with her two dwelling youngsters. She defined on the stand:
“It was a double stroller. I had one kid in the front and there was a basket underneath. I put the CMC [Catholic Medical Center] bag in the basket, and then the other kid was on the other side.”
Horrific. Just horrific.
Perhaps most shockingly Kayla additionally testified that, regardless of struggling bodily and emotional abuse at Adam’s arms, regardless of figuring out he beat his little one to demise and made her cart the stays round… she nonetheless has emotions for him. Oof.
Adam is dealing with second-degree homicide prices — and already pleaded responsible final week to the lesser prices of abuse of a corpse and falsifying proof. If we needed to guess he’s going to be convicted on the homicide cost, too, after listening to all this. We can’t think about any jury listening to about what these folks did to this little woman’s physique, from one of many individuals no much less, and voting to acquit. What do YOU suppose?
