New Hampshire law generally requires those convicted of certain serious offenses to attend sentencing when victims address the court. Montgomery opted not to attend his jury trial in person.

The defense team asked the judge to exclude everything the defendant’s estranged wife, Kayla Montgomery, said in her two days of testimony about the 2019 death of Harmony Montgomery, her 5-year-old stepdaughter

Prosecutors say the defendant killed his 5-year-old daughter, Harmony Montgomery, then hid her body and evaded detection for nearly two years.

The defense strategy sets the stage for a trial focused primarily on the second-degree murder charge.
