Rebecca, thank you for being a voice for Harmony. Your struggles & addiction do not make you a bad person. I hope you can come out & live a prosperous life, you deserve good in your life.
KUDDOS TO REBECCA! Good for you ma’am for sticking up for yourself to that RIDICULOUS attorney! You did amazing! Your record has NOTHING around do with the TRUTH! I commend you!
Rebecca don't let that defense attorney get to you. He was horrible and I'm sure the jury could see that. Keep your head up. You are doing awesome!!!😊💐
I agree. In trying to "discredit" the witness the way that the attorney did, made them look desperate. And in my opinion, just weakened their case, because bringing up someone's past criminal record in that manner is ridiculous. I commend the witness for taking responsibility for her actions & that shows me her character is a good one. They ALL did drugs, Adam has a MORE serious felony past and although she did make some unfortunate choices in her past, her testimony seemed very credible to me & the defense should NOT have been allowed to badger the witness like that. It just showed how ruthless they are & how weak their case actually is. I think he made a huge mistake doing that
Adam is done. His lawyer grilling Rebecca the way he did was so fkn annoying! WE GET IT, she’s facing charges, guess what? All of them have nothing to do with ADAM did to that little girl, Harmony.
She may be facing charges, but she hasn't been convicted of those charges and so presumption of innocence applies. Defence seemed to forget that; just like Rebecca helped him out by telling him she was facing four charges, not three.
Adam should have no choice in avoiding that courtroom and distancing himself. If I were defending my innocence I would never miss a day in the courtroom! Disgusting.
I believe he will be found guilty. He knows he's guilty, and a Coward. But, he holds, dare I say it, "The Trump Card" He will NEVER reveal where that wee souls remains are. It's his last time at "control." Lock him up and throw away the key ! How many other victims does he have. EVIL EVIL EVIL
I think I hate this defense team almost as much as Adam Montgomery. There’s protecting a defendant’s legal rights and twisting and making up stories to confuse a jury.
Been saying this since first seeing his lead attorney's mouth open. The best thing she could have done for him was try to curry some sympathy, but NOPE!
Well said ! We should be able to vote and decide whether someone should be entitled to their due process rights under the 5th Amendment and right to an attorney under the 6th. Anyone we don’t like should be automatically stripped of their constitutional rights . We should get to decide how a defendant presents a defense not the defendant and certainly not his attorney. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
@@marcc4303that's the craziest thing I've ever heard. Go live in Nazi Germany then. Why would you get to decide somebody else's right and somebody else's defense in their own trial? that's the beauty of the Constitution, you are cloaked in the presumption of innocence and the state has to prove your guilt. You're an asshole if you believe believe what you actually wrote. Yes Adam is guilty as sin. And yeah his lawyers are annoying as hell. But that is their job and it is his right to a defense. As heinous and as stupid as it is that is our constitutional rights. And thank God we have them.
Defense is really coming off as an asshole with this lady. Embarrassing her on live tv on purpose. Only made her testimony seem more credible to me the way she handled it.
Only person he’s embarrassing is himself with this piss poor “defense”. If I were Adam I would be 💩🧱 because this whole thing just made him look EVEN MORE guilty.
Are you insane? Did you hear her charges? This is the type of heroine addict that steals from your home, or steals your car. She had many theft charges and convictions. Also, she was convicted of creditcard fraud. What if that was your credit card? Would you still be calling her a "lady", or would you find her disgusting? Then a whole bunch of other charges AND parole violations for which she's back in the slammer again this time around. I mean, I get that it sounds mean and unnecessary, but remember that defense's job is to discredit the witness. If she wouldn't have done all those things, she wouldn't have that criminal record, she wouldn't be doing time, and defense would not be able to bring it up. It's her own fault and choices have consequences.
Was anybody waiting for the defense to say “no further questions” and Rebecca snap back “I didn’t think so” and leave the bench like an epic movie scene 😂
I love the support for Rebecca. This trial is, for sure, an inside look at the troubles of addiction and our legal system. I can only hope the right people are watching. 😢
Special needs children get a government check monthly to the caregiver also it was covid so they were getting more money because they had three children.
@@SonjaAmbroXOX plus he wouldnt need to pay child support if he had custody of her. It was easy enough for him to avoid the bio mom for 2 years since she lived in another state. If HM had lived its possible he could block the mom from getting custody for a great deal of time so it was win win for him. During the epidemic food stamps were raised by a huge amount for everyone and they were trading food stamps for drugs then feeding the kids small amounts of fast food, insane! Did they keep drawing social security for Harmony after her death?
@@karenv5103They kept receiving benefits they got specifically due to having custody of Harmony even after her death. That's one of the original charges against Kayla (fraud) because they never notified anyone about no longer having Harmony and only got caught once Harmony was officially reported as missing 😞
Defence did themselves no favours by badgering Rebecca M. She was upfront about her criminal convictions, their attempt to belittle her and make out that she’s unreliable was transparent. I doubt the jury will fall for it.
I like how the defense is trying to discredit a witness with there past criminal behavior but forgets that his client was friends/best friends with the witness. I don't see this helping his client, who doesn't even have the guts to show up for trial.
yep. i wouldve asked to see what he was talking about before continuing to answer questions. This defense is grimey and they make things up too I believe if what he was saying was true why didnt he provide his evidence!!!!???
The friend, even though she is an admitted criminal seems to be a very honest criminal. Most her legal trouble revolves around her addiction. I believe everything she said.
I know you don't know her so it's hard to understand but she is a HORRIBLE beast and is truly nothing but a liar and will continue to do drugs as soon as she gets out like she has done MANY times
I liked how she turned to face the jury near the end of her testimony. It showed respect and she wanted them to hear that her testifying in this case isnt because she is getting something out of it. She considered Adam 'her best friend' at some point and it had to be hard for her to do this. I do believe she wants to help get justice for Harmony.
I think Rebecca was an awesome honest and very credible witness , and I wish her all the best with her recovery. Poop-poop for the defence lawyer. He couldn't keep the exitement out of his voice to cross examine.....sounded like a winded-up Noddy toy.
I wish Prosecution objected wit 'relevance' a couple times just to stop it for a sec. It may have been 'overruled' due to weighing out her credibility but Jurors would have at least heard the term, relevance and maybe thought the same. Hopefully they did think her credible and eye rolled the defense over it.
That phone call of Adam just just how much of a guilty POS he is. Worried about tax payer money being used while looking for HIS CHILD. His MISSING CHILD he clearly murdered. This TRIAL is a waste of tax payer money, he clearly killed her.
I agree, but take a basic law course! That's not how our system works! If this were you or me, we are entitled to a FAIR trial. Burden of proof is upon the accuser.
I agree with you, he killed her. Sorry to sound so morbid but I don't think he would be able to take them to Harmony's remains because I doubt that he knows where they are. Sounds like he dumped them into the Mystic River after he rented that U Haul truck. 💜Rest in Peace Harmony, you deserved so much better.💜
@@peggypeggy4137 He could at least say where he dumped her and let the detectives figure out the rest. He is already going down for life. It's infuriating that this POS holds that final piece of control by not giving up the location. He's laughing about that.
If just one person who knew they had little kids sleeping in a car in the middle of winter had reported the unsafe conditions, they would have brought the kids to a safe place and Harmony's bruises would have been seen before he went wild on her and killed her.
Imagine the financial cost of this. Beyond the human cost of little Harmony’s horrible short life. . And Adam was worried about police wasting taxpayer money looking for Harmony - when he knows exactly where he put her. The public should know what this evil costs society
Yes, with Adam's status as a "career criminal" he should have been permanently put behind bars years ago. He shot someone in the head during a robbery and stabbed another before throwing them out of a car. I think he only got a year and a half for the shooting-- a slap on the wrist. He should never had the chance to take custody of Harmony. Another screw up.
Sending my best wishes to Rebecca, from Australia. I hope you continue to live well. The lawyer today was horrible to you but he only succeeded in making himself look petty, nasty and cruel.
That defense lady needs to sit tf down! That type of violence CAN happen in broad daylight & no one see it or say anything. My ex beat my ass out on a sidewalk in the city & no one did a thing to help or stop it. Ppl like that “mind their business”, unfortunately. For her to say that can’t take place is bs!
That lawyers so hung up on the fact Rebecca was a criminal and a drug addict and we should ignore her testimony. Their client is all of those things but we should believe their side 🙄. She held her own and i found her credible. She denied nothing.
His tactic which was all too obvious was clearly to discredit her and therefore her testimony but he failed miserably, made himself look like a sleaze bag and I believe it will not endear the defence team to the jury
3:01:54 How sickening for this defense attorney to request charge of murdering Harmony being dismissed against Adam Montgomery and ble Kayla! Some of these defense attorneys are truly disgusting. You’ve got to be kidding! 🤦🏻♀️
❤❤❤i absolutely respect that this Rebecca for being truly honest with her statement it matches every single one that is involved in there stories that has been in this matters ❤❤ There is no way in hell you can discredit honesty so Adam’s lawyers just lost that one big time I love this woman following from Australia.
Rebecca!!! ❤ you're a hot ticket....we definitely would've hung out. best of luck to you. trust me the jury sees this guy as a sleaze bag just as much as he is one. hang tough. the past is the past. no one cares about that...and to those that do can take a hike
I think she established motive by saying he hated Harmony fir being like her mom so the lawyer was busy trying to discredit her. She held her own under pressure, a tough woman and I bet she can pull herself up by her boot straps after she gets out of jail. Good Luck to Rebecca Maine
Witness Maines mopped the floor with defender attorney. It seemed she was honest and truthful and defense attorney appeared as if he was making up a narrative as he moved along.
@@nicoledeanna-xoit was tough but we also don't have a lot of the real details that we have with this one. Almost all cases go down in history without knowing this much detail. And I honestly don't believe it's the whole truth, miss Kayla is also a monster and is getting off way too easy but truth is without her testimony and physically having harmony.... There's barely a case towards him. So. I suppose DA thinks the l esser of two evils? Idno. she should never be allowed around her children again.
That phone call with Adam made him sound so guilty!!! If my child were missing I hope they would chase down every damn lead and spend whatever amount of money they needed to until my baby was found alive or dead!!! Hes so damn gross and disgusting!!! GUILTY!!! COWARD CANT EVEN SIT THREW HIS TRIAL!!! AND THAT LAW OR WHATEVER IT IS NEEDS TO CHANGE...IF YOU ARE BEING CHARGED WITH A CRIME YOU SHOULD HAVE TO BE PRESENT...ITS SO DISRESPECTFUL TO EVERYONE!!!
@@krystleday382 yes according to what I've heard throughout the trial, he has to be there. He just didn't want everyone looking at him while these facts came out...coward
The defence hammering on about a witnesses criminal history in this instance isn’t going to help his client at all because his client is best mates with all these people so realistically it’s worse because it shows who his client surrounds himself with And if the defence really believes that a witness having drug charges is that bad then why make such a huge point about it all when his client is a drug addict So proud of her for not backing down, not being embarrassed to share her story and also for trying to make a positive change in her life
Yoooooo REBECCA I love you …. She was not having it she said what she had to say and gave it to Adam’s attorneys ….. they should not be allowed to talk down to someone like that and I believe the state should say this is not about her this is about Adam why are we questioning her life and what she knows about Adam
Adam told Rebecca he dropped Harmony off with her mother AT A REST STOP. Liars always share crumbs of truth to help keep up with their lies. I bet he put her body at a rest stop 1/2 way to mother's house. Poor, poor Harmony.
Well… then the judge wouldn’t be able to tell people to watch out for the wires or to speak up because - you know - they are keeping a record and it’s a very big room. 🙃
See again they are trying to focus on everyone else’s past mistakes or criminal records and, once again this proves nothing about Adam’s innocence. Do drug addicted people hangout with other drug addicted people yes. Do criminals hangout with other criminals usually, this has nothing to do with Harmon’s case. The only one on trial here is ADAM! He is the guilty party and the only criminal records/drug use/ abusive behavior that matters is his. I will note no of these other people are on trail for hurting any children!!
Rebecca looked so angry. I'm sure if they would have allowed her, she would have popped this man in the mouth. I loved the way the prosecutor served her water, such a gentleman. He noticed how angry she looked. I hope this lady gets her life back, because she was very well spoken and seems very honest.
The maggot doesn't want to be there cause he can't face what he did to his own daughter, the should be no rule that he doesn't have to be in court the judge should make him be there. I sure hope the state puts him away.
She let him have it with both barrels. If the defence attorney had followed the adage, "You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar" he might not have made himself look a total prat. Rebecca Maines' frankness will give her evidence credibility.
I'm so glad Rebecca defend herself the way she did. The defense team tried to make her look bad by throwing all her dirty laundry. She make them look stupid.
The defense has been trying everything to discredit the people Adam associated himself with due to their backgrounds. But they want us to believe Adam is innocent when his background is worse than all of them. They haven’t said that either of those people has abused their kids, murdered anyone, or abused a corpse. The defense is so weak they are reaching for anything they can. I hope all of the people that were on drugs are getting the help they need to change their lives forever.
I felt bad for grandpa having to testify on his granddaughter, after her passing. He choked up after seeing her photo. Rebecca was amazing! i wish her the very best.
They treat withesses like they should treat Adam. I undertsnad they are his attorneys, but they are looking not only bad, but like they have no idea what they are doing. Rebecca, if you happen to see this.... You were incredible! I wish you nothing but the best and a fanfreakintastic life with sobriety. Thank you for being a voice for Harmony when so many ppl were not!
I think Rebecca handled herself well and kept her temper in check better than most I know would be able to. As a convicted felon and recovering addict myself I want to say it means EVERYTHING that people in this comment thread have been able to see past her charges and addiction to see the person! Y'all are amazing and it truly restores my faith in compassion and empathy and good will! Thank you for understanding and being vocal about praying for her recovery and success!! Those of y'all on the other side of the argument are the problem with society. After she serves her sentence she doesn't owe the community anything except being better every day than the day before. She's taking the very hard path to sobriety. I could assume that the people that make those statements have never had to deal with addiction of any sort or had anybody in their family that they loved her friends have to deal with that battle but I shouldn't assume because we all know what that means. But I will say unfortunately most people of that mindset will never understand or change their thought pattern until it happens to them or somebody they love, and I hope that it does not happen. Even if you would finally understand people like Rebecca and myself. I wouldn't wish that on anyone for any lesson. But hopefully someday you folks will be able to see things less close minded. I'll pray for you.

I like this Rebecca lady! I hope she stays clean!
Same.
Same. She held her own and that lawyer was ridiculous.
She’s tough! I like her brass. Atty doesn’t have much to work with except trying to discredit witnesses.

Agree!!! 💯!!!
She was Awsum wasn’t she!!!!
She did amazing! This defense team is horrible!
Abso-freaking-lutely! Congrats, Rebecca! I have 12 yrs, it CAN be done!
She said "I wanna see where I said that," he changed subject REAL quick! 😂 get 'em girl!
With the Rebecca witness the defense is punching down. I actually found her and her testimony credible. Good witness.
Same. I felt the prosecution really showed how big of dirt bags the defense attorneys were by letting him go on and on like he did.
Yes !
Agreed
She did PHENOMENAL!
He’s a jerk!!!
Rebecca don't let that defense attorney get to you. He was horrible and I'm sure the jury could see that. Keep your head up. You are doing awesome!!!😊💐
❤ Rebecca she made the lawyer look pathetic and desperate
So true it was satisfying to watch. She is well spoken and obviously intelligent. He looked like the bad guy which won’t bode well with the jury
Bless her heart. 💗
Absolutely!! They just weakened their case with their desperate attempt to try & discredit her. They failed miserably!!
She is a very good witness.
Why isn't evil Adam in the court room ?

She was not having it either- props to her!! Get it girl.
@@Ashley6 how dare them say she’s a drug addicted thief right?? The defense was doing their job. Toughest job I know.
This poor grandpa, I feel so bad that he had to testify.
Me too. It makes me so sad
Me too, I feel sorry for him being dragged into court. Losing his granddaughter. When he said “she’s in an urn” I lost it 🥺
Wonder how his granddaughter got mixed up with Adam? He def seems to have bad karma.
RIP Harmony
I love Rebecca's answers. I'm glad she was allowed to snap at the defense. It's funny when he don't like her answer he changes to new question.

@@stelmosfire11 and that being unhinged would also help the jury to see exactly what kind of a monster he is! He did this he needs to be there!
Should be an automatic stint inside if attendance in court is refused ⚖️
I believe if he doesn’t appear he also can’t appeal….any lawyers know?
I believe he will be found guilty. He knows he's guilty, and a Coward. But, he holds, dare I say it, "The Trump Card" He will NEVER reveal where that wee souls remains are. It's his last time at "control." Lock him up and throw away the key ! How many other victims does he have. EVIL EVIL EVIL

Not so... I think Harmony was goes b4 the guns got stolen. She was last seen in 2019.
If the judge hadn’t awarded AM custody, Harmony would be a happy healthy smiling almost 8 yr old
If just one person who knew they had little kids sleeping in a car in the middle of winter had reported the unsafe conditions, they would have brought the kids to a safe place and Harmony's bruises would have been seen before he went wild on her and killed her.
Adam is in prison now for the guns. He wasn't charged until after he did what he did to that little girl, Harmony.
Imagine the financial cost of this. Beyond the human cost of little Harmony’s horrible short life. . And Adam was worried about police wasting taxpayer money looking for Harmony - when he knows exactly where he put her. The public should know what this evil costs society
Yes, with Adam's status as a "career criminal" he should have been permanently put behind bars years ago. He shot someone in the head during a robbery and stabbed another before throwing them out of a car. I think he only got a year and a half for the shooting-- a slap on the wrist. He should never had the chance to take custody of Harmony. Another screw up.
Another Don Wells
He shouldn't have been out if jail and able to get Harmony
Defense is a jerk, what’s he trying to prove bringing up all her charges it has nothing to do with this case
Sending my best wishes to Rebecca, from Australia. I hope you continue to live well. The lawyer today was horrible to you but he only succeeded in making himself look petty, nasty and cruel.
That defense lady needs to sit tf down! That type of violence CAN happen in broad daylight & no one see it or say anything. My ex beat my ass out on a sidewalk in the city & no one did a thing to help or stop it. Ppl like that “mind their business”, unfortunately.
For her to say that can’t take place is bs!
Congratulations Rebecca on your 10 months of sobriety. I have 29 years. You can do this!
That lawyers so hung up on the fact Rebecca was a criminal and a drug addict and we should ignore her testimony. Their client is all of those things but we should believe their side 🙄. She held her own and i found her credible. She denied nothing.
His tactic which was all too obvious was clearly to discredit her and therefore her testimony but he failed miserably, made himself look like a sleaze bag and I believe it will not endear the defence team to the jury
The defense attorney remains lower than the gutter, while Rebecca is absolutely succeeding in self-improvement and growth.
Defending an empty chair🤦
Right!!! Smh
COWARD!!! A complete coward…
What an extraordinary 85 year old man.
3:01:54 How sickening for this defense attorney to request charge of murdering Harmony being dismissed against Adam Montgomery and ble Kayla! Some of these defense attorneys are truly disgusting. You’ve got to be kidding! 🤦🏻♀️
The state has done a great job!!!!
I give her kudos for admitting that she was an attic and admitting that she's a criminal the first road to recovery is admitting you have a problem
What a f*** Bast*****😡 Harmony was a little beautiful Angel. R.I.P little girl.❤
Exactly
❤❤❤i absolutely respect that this Rebecca for being truly honest with her statement it matches every single one that is involved in there stories that has been in this matters ❤❤ There is no way in hell you can discredit honesty so Adam’s lawyers just lost that one big time I love this woman following from Australia.
Wow. How distasteful of the defense!! 🤦🏻♀️
Rebecca!!! ❤ you're a hot ticket....we definitely would've hung out. best of luck to you. trust me the jury sees this guy as a sleaze bag just as much as he is one. hang tough. the past is the past. no one cares about that...and to those that do can take a hike
Oh that sweet Grandpa. It’s disgusting how many innocent people Adam has drawn into his filthy mess.
I'm so glad that the Grandpa was able to remove himself from Adam unscathed. I'm glad AM didn't abuse Grandpa in any way!
@@9babyblu
Too bad his granddaughter got mixed up with Adam.
I think she established motive by saying he hated Harmony fir being like her mom so the lawyer was busy trying to discredit her. She held her own under pressure, a tough woman and I bet she can pull herself up by her boot straps after she gets out of jail. Good Luck to Rebecca Maine
I hope Rebecca gets out and STAYS OUT of this lifestyle! Defense really tried to flex on her but she flexed back and appeared to have more muscle! ❤
ADAM MONTGOMERY SHOULD BE THERE!!!! HE'S SUCH A COWARD 💯🤬🤬🤬
That poor man, he should be enjoying his life with his family, not being stressed out over a horrible crime that has ruined his life 🙏🏻
Oh Rebecca, good for you!
1:57:55 LMAO *Im sure Caroline Smith has read comments, she has Jamie speaking now* 😂😂😂
Witness Maines mopped the floor with defender attorney. It seemed she was honest and truthful and defense attorney appeared as if he was making up a narrative as he moved along.
I do believe he hated his daughter they’ll be no other way he could do what he did to her, besides pure, hate and evil
If the defense team is trying to help their client by harassing the state's witness, they are failing miserably.
This trial is the only one I can recall I actually had trouble listening to the details. It’s just beyond evil.
Gannon Stauch case was horrible as well 😢
@@nicoledeanna-xoit was however we didn’t hear these gruesome details like in this case
Gannon trial was HORRIFIC also!!!
Shanda Vanderark
@@nicoledeanna-xoit was tough but we also don't have a lot of the real details that we have with this one. Almost all cases go down in history without knowing this much detail. And I honestly don't believe it's the whole truth, miss Kayla is also a monster and is getting off way too easy but truth is without her testimony and physically having harmony.... There's barely a case towards him. So. I suppose DA thinks the l esser of two evils? Idno. she should never be allowed around her children again.
That phone call with Adam made him sound so guilty!!! If my child were missing I hope they would chase down every damn lead and spend whatever amount of money they needed to until my baby was found alive or dead!!! Hes so damn gross and disgusting!!! GUILTY!!! COWARD CANT EVEN SIT THREW HIS TRIAL!!! AND THAT LAW OR WHATEVER IT IS NEEDS TO CHANGE...IF YOU ARE BEING CHARGED WITH A CRIME YOU SHOULD HAVE TO BE PRESENT...ITS SO DISRESPECTFUL TO EVERYONE!!!
He has to sit through the sentencing though and the sentence. I believe the state has proven their case
What phone call are you referring to?
@@unapologeticallyauthentic oh really!? Well hats good at least
@@Miss.Anthropic. it was the last witness the state called...a.detective played a call of adam.talking to someone while he was in jail!!
@@krystleday382 yes according to what I've heard throughout the trial, he has to be there. He just didn't want everyone looking at him while these facts came out...coward
The defence hammering on about a witnesses criminal history in this instance isn’t going to help his client at all because his client is best mates with all these people so realistically it’s worse because it shows who his client surrounds himself with
And if the defence really believes that a witness having drug charges is that bad then why make such a huge point about it all when his client is a drug addict
So proud of her for not backing down, not being embarrassed to share her story and also for trying to make a positive change in her life
Adams worried about taxpayers $$? Hes sure as hell wasted alot of it thru the years!!
good shape for 85 .bravo
Yoooooo REBECCA I love you …. She was not having it she said what she had to say and gave it to Adam’s attorneys ….. they should not be allowed to talk down to someone like that and I believe the state should say this is not about her this is about Adam why are we questioning her life and what she knows about Adam
The defense attorney is such a tool.
I can't wait to hear how they treat him in jail. There's a special kind of justice waiting for him.
I bet Rebecca is running her unit.
Adam told Rebecca he dropped Harmony off with her mother AT A REST STOP. Liars always share crumbs of truth to help keep up with their lies. I bet he put her body at a rest stop 1/2 way to mother's house. Poor, poor Harmony.
I'm a criminal x he is so condescending really don't like him
👏🏻 WE GET IT! SHES A CRIMINAL! 👏🏻 Rebecca was a champ keeping her composure the way she did!
why don't they have portable mikes for the attorneys instead of moving those tripod mikes around
It drives me insane!!
Well… then the judge wouldn’t be able to tell people to watch out for the wires or to speak up because - you know - they are keeping a record and it’s a very big room. 🙃
See again they are trying to focus on everyone else’s past mistakes or criminal records and, once again this proves nothing about Adam’s innocence. Do drug addicted people hangout with other drug addicted people yes. Do criminals hangout with other criminals usually, this has nothing to do with Harmon’s case. The only one on trial here is ADAM! He is the guilty party and the only criminal records/drug use/ abusive behavior that matters is his. I will note no of these other people are on trail for hurting any children!!
Rebecca looked so angry. I'm sure if they would have allowed her, she would have popped this man in the mouth. I loved the way the prosecutor served her water, such a gentleman. He noticed how angry she looked. I hope this lady gets her life back, because she was very well spoken and seems very honest.
I’ve watched many trials and must admit this is the only one that approaches the bench 50 + times.
That's what I said
The maggot doesn't want to be there cause he can't face what he did to his own daughter, the should be no rule that he doesn't have to be in court the judge should make him be there. I sure hope the state puts him away.
If anyone ever deserved to rot in prison, it's Adam Montgomery
Rebecca made an ass of that defense attorney! 💜💜💜
2:25:08 hoping all goes well for Rebecca Maine regarding her addiction. Defence's job to discredit her testimony. She held her own.
She let him have it with both barrels. If the defence attorney had followed the adage, "You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar" he might not have made himself look a total prat. Rebecca Maines' frankness will give her evidence credibility.
Good for you Rebecca. You can do it!
These approaches, are crazy
How is that hearsay when he’s being asked do you know why the detectives were searching your property?
I am wondering the same thing!!! Wtf?!
Yes, weird. I kept waiting for a bombshell of something they found in the outhouse.
@@BjBeam me too…
This male defense attorney is a slime ball
I'm so glad Rebecca defend herself the way she did. The defense team tried to make her look bad by throwing all her dirty laundry. She make them look stupid.
The defense has been trying everything to discredit the people Adam associated himself with due to their backgrounds. But they want us to believe Adam is innocent when his background is worse than all of them. They haven’t said that either of those people has abused their kids, murdered anyone, or abused a corpse. The defense is so weak they are reaching for anything they can. I hope all of the people that were on drugs are getting the help they need to change their lives forever.
I would hate to be them.
Rebecca is a QUEEN owning her choices and standing up for herself the way she should. HUGE PROPS to her! Screw this defense team!!!!
I felt bad for grandpa having to testify on his granddaughter, after her passing. He choked up after seeing her photo. Rebecca was amazing! i wish her the very best.
They treat withesses like they should treat Adam. I undertsnad they are his attorneys, but they are looking not only bad, but like they have no idea what they are doing.
Rebecca, if you happen to see this.... You were incredible! I wish you nothing but the best and a fanfreakintastic life with sobriety. Thank you for being a voice for Harmony when so many ppl were not!
What kind of hold does Adam have over these women? It's crazy how they still want to see him.
I think Rebecca handled herself well and kept her temper in check better than most I know would be able to. As a convicted felon and recovering addict myself I want to say it means EVERYTHING that people in this comment thread have been able to see past her charges and addiction to see the person! Y'all are amazing and it truly restores my faith in compassion and empathy and good will! Thank you for understanding and being vocal about praying for her recovery and success!!
Those of y'all on the other side of the argument are the problem with society. After she serves her sentence she doesn't owe the community anything except being better every day than the day before. She's taking the very hard path to sobriety. I could assume that the people that make those statements have never had to deal with addiction of any sort or had anybody in their family that they loved her friends have to deal with that battle but I shouldn't assume because we all know what that means. But I will say unfortunately most people of that mindset will never understand or change their thought pattern until it happens to them or somebody they love, and I hope that it does not happen. Even if you would finally understand people like Rebecca and myself. I wouldn't wish that on anyone for any lesson. But hopefully someday you folks will be able to see things less close minded. I'll pray for you.
