Two States Failed Harmony Montgomery — Now the Murder Case Starts Over

Massachusetts gave Adam Montgomery custody of his five-year-old daughter despite twenty-one criminal cases on his record. New Hampshire’s child protection system saw the bruises, documented them, and emailed police that everything was fine. Two states failed Harmony Montgomery while she was alive. Now the legal system is asking for a second chance to convict the man who, according to prosecutors, killed her and hid her body for months.

The Harmony Montgomery case has reached its most consequential juncture: a murder retrial with less evidence, a compromised key witness, and a defense team arguing an alternative theory. All of it playing out while the defendant faces decades in prison regardless of the outcome and refuses to say where his daughter’s remains are.

Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta (Defense Diaries) joins Tony Brueski for the complete three-part breakdown: the Supreme Court’s reasoning for reversing the conviction, the prosecution and defense strategies for the retrial, and the larger questions about silence, civil judgments, and whether justice is still possible for a child the system abandoned at every turn. Tony Brueski and Bob Motta.
