She testified she met Adam long after Harmony died, so she obviously didn't witness any of his abuse of Harmony. She was told by Adam that he had struck her once and was also told he had given Harmony back to her mother 2 years prior. As Adam's friend, she likely believed his lies and didn't have any suspicion that he had killed his daughter. Without proof of how Harmony died, this witness may believe Kayla killed her or suspect she died of an overdose, etc. Perhaps she wanted to see him face to face to question him about Harmony?

I wonder if she was his sponsor in that sober program that they were in together, and if she just fell off the wagon again (because she’s only been clean for 10 months this time, so I’m assuming she has had her struggles). Can’t judge her for falling off the wagon, especially after finding out her former best friend was a monster. ETA: 13:31 “You have 11 criminal charges….” “Probably, I was a drug addict.” 😂 She knew right away what he was trying to imply, that she’s a liar because she’s a “criminal” but she denied none of it. I guess when you have a client like Montgomery, you will go as low as the courts will allow because he has no other defense except her character. Clearly, she knows her flaws and isn’t afraid to say them. Didn’t hurt her credibility imho, shows his client has no real defense. Hope the jury feels the same. 17:17 “You’re facing 3 separate charges…..” “Actually, there’s a fourth.” 😂😂😂 She got him there, shows she has nothing to hide about her past.

I don’t understand how anyone can hate a child. I get that they can be difficult and frustrate you, but outright hatred of a child is absolutely unnatural.

Nope, thats not at all what i saw. The attorney looks like someone who did not have his facts straight. This woman did not in any way pretend to not remember who she use to be in her addiction. This 🤡🤡 self defense attorney did not ONCE pull out police reports to back up the blatant lies he tried to force this woman to say she said to the detectives. She literally corrected him with FACTS. Made him look like an SSA, in my opinion.

That's their job. They have very little to go off of.

[@Tassie85]

And the jury sees it when a lawyer is being a bully to a cooperative and credible witness. It makes the defence look petty and vindictive.

[@NuraCaicedo-xh2ok]

The reason why he's getting on her about her past it's because he can't find nothing to get her on other than this

[@silversmoke6]

​@@NuraCaicedo-xh2okthe reason he's doing it is because it's his job. You know public defence Lawers don't get to choose their clients. Stop ragging on the guy for trying to work with what he's been given, which is very little.

Oh boy that defense attorney sure made an ass of himself. That was hilarious! Making up things she supposedly said and then when she calls him on it he just goes silent and moves on. Bahahaha

A nurse junkie who is in prison for stealing. Cared for sick people while high and maybe stole from patients. She's straight now, good for her, but that doesn't make her suddenly honest.

and roasting her for missing her court date while in treatment, while their defendant has not shed up in court once this entire time.

[@jjfordham4810]

I don’t know if THIS particular witness knows it but because she is willing to be SO brutally honest & open about her history, she has a far greater chance of actually making something out of her life when she gets out regardless of how people like this defense try to paint her as less than her worth and I pray she KICKS ASS and shows anyone who doubts her just exactly what she CAN do!!!! Good for you!!!!! Prayers for sobriety and strength ❤️‍🩹

Love to see she crush the defense. Best witness in this case hands down.

[@skylaschwartz5414]

She probably had her hand over the babies mouth because she wanted to quiet the baby because she was afraid of what Adam and Kayla might do to her and then baby if it kept crying…. Also, that’s a learned behavior most likely.

[@kristyc1046]

I M 100 Confident that Adam made up that lie (just like he told her Harmony mom wouldnt allow him any contact, after driving her back to her mothers freely when he had full custody. When he could have contacted the court or police to regain his full parental rights when mom had zero!) to explain either bruising on Harmony's face or trying to justify to her & himself why he suddenly reacted & backhanded her. Does it make sense that Harmony was in the bathroom with a baby & Adam walks in unannounced to find her.... what? holding the baby up on the toilet while suffocating him or how does any of this sound true? Adam is a liar & Rebecca is just retelling what he said & did. I don't buy his lies.

Why not give the little girl back to her Mother if he didn’t want her. So sad.
