Adam Montgomery

Adam is on trial for killing his 5 year old daughter Harmony by beating her with his closed fist. He hid the body and tried to tamper with his wifes testimony.

His charges are:

1. 2nd Degree Assault. Adam knowingly caused bodily injury to Harmony,a child under the age of 13, by striking her in the face.

2. 2nd Degree Murder. Adam wrecklessly caused the death of Harmony, a person under 13 yrs of age, under circumstances manifesting in the extreme indifference to the value of life by repeatedly striking Harmony on the head with a closed fist.

3. Falsifying Physical Evidence. Knowing an investigation was looming did purposely alter, destroy, conceal or removed the body of Harmony with the purpose to impair availability for said investigation.

4. Abuse of a Corpse. That the defendant did purposely and unlawfully removed, concealed, destroyed the corpse of Harmony or any part there of. 5. Tampering With Witnesses or Informants. Adam believing that official proceedings were coming, investigation was coming, did purposely attempt to induce or otherwise cause Kayla Montgomery to testify or inform falsely.

His wife, Stepmother to Harmony, has not been charged with the death, but was charged with perjury to the grand jury. She did a plea deal which includes testifying in this trial. She is who broke the case by telling authorities what Adam did. Here's an article on it:

Kayla Montgomery

Trial is to take 6 wks supposedly. I look forward to hearing all the facts!

Jennifer Crumbly Found Guilty!

The jury forewoman said the main thing for the verdict was the fact she was the last adult to have the gun in her hands. What took so long to announce this then? She said both sides were equally represented. I myself felt she was as she admitted to being the one that was responsible to hide the ammunition that was used in the shooting. She took him to the shooting range. she knew of the gun and never told the school.

The school is being sued civally. It's the way it should be. While they didn't search the bag they had in their control, they had no reason to believe he had a gun, let alone that he had it on campus to be able to have probable cause to search the bag. Given all they knew of him though and that drawing would cause most to decide they needed to call the police to search him, his belongings, and his locker over abundance of caution given todays environment.

James is up next in March.

Jennifer Crumbley Trial

This is the trial based on Jennifers son Ethan bringing a gun that his parents bought him 4 days prior to school and killed 4 people. The parents were called into the school the morning of the incident to discuss drawings he had been doing and disturbing internet searches. The parents were advised he should go to a psychologist ASAP. The parents decided that work was more important than the lives of Madisyn Baldwin, Tate Myre, Hana St. Juliana, and Justin Shilling. Below I detail out what the counts are and how they are to find beyond a reasonable doubt.

Count 1- caused the death of Madisyn Baldwin

Count 2- caused the death of Tate Myre

Count 3- caused the death of Hana St. Juliana

Count 4- caused the death of Justin Shilling

Theory 1: Storing a firearm and ammunition and allowed access to the firearm and ammunition to their minor child.

1. Must find beynd a reasonable doubt that the 4 deathes were natural or necessary result of the defendants act.

2. Must find beyond a reasonable doubt that the deaths were due to the defendants gross negiglence manner.

Gross negligent manner means more than carelessness. Willfully disregarding results of others that might follow from an act or failure to act.

To find her grossely negligent you must find the 3 following things beyond reasonable doubt:

1. defendant knew of the danger to another. That is she knew of a situation that required her to take ordinary care to avoid injuring another.

2. defendant could have avoided injury to another by using ordinary care.

3. defendant failed to use ordinary care to prevent injury to another when, to a reasonable person it must have been apparent that the result was likely to be serious injury.

Theory 2:Gross negligency and failure to perform a legal duty

Must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

1. The defendant had a legal duty to Madisyn Baldwin, Tate Myre, Hana St. Juliana, and Justin Shilling. In this a parent has a legal duty to exercise reasonable care to prevent a minor child from intentionally harming others or to prevent the minor child to conduct themselves in a way that creates an unreasonable risk of harm to others. If a parent knows that they have the ability to control their minor child and knows of the necessity and opportunity for exercising such control.

2. That the defendant knew of the act facts that gave rise to the duty.

3. That the defendant willfully neglected or refused to perform that duty and her failure to perform was grossly negligent to human life.

4. That the death of Madisyn Baldwin, Tate Myre, Hana St. Juliana, and Justin Shilling were directly caused by the defendants failure to do this duty and that Madisyn Baldwin, Tate Myre, Hana St. Juliana, and Justin Shilling died as a result of the defendants failure to exercise reasonable care to control the minor child as to prevent him from intentionally harming others or from so conducting themself so as to create an unreasonable risk of bodily harm to others knowing that she has the ability to control her child, knowing of the necessity and opportunity to do so.

You must find beyond a reasonable doubt that the deaths were the natural or necessary result of the defendants act. I have waited for these trials. Its about time parents were held accountable when they bought the guns. Let alone, these parents felt after having been told of their sons depraved mind that work was more important.
