Summary
Garret Fisher covers three cases. In New Hampshire, the state Supreme Court has reversed Adam Montgomery's second-degree murder conviction in the death of his 5-year-old daughter, Harmony Montgomery, ruling the trial judge improperly joined the murder charge with a separate assault charge — a procedural reversal, not a finding of innocence. Montgomery remains incarcerated on his other convictions (second-degree assault, abuse of a corpse, falsifying evidence, witness tampering) plus prior weapons charges, and the state may retry him. In San Diego, Larry Millete, 44, is on trial for the first-degree murder of his wife, Maya Millete, 39, who vanished in January 2021 and has never been found; jurors are hearing about hundreds of pages of messages prosecutors say he sent to online "spellcasters" to control her. He has pleaded not guilty. And in Anchorage, Army soldier Zarrius Hildabrand, 24, is on trial in the death of his bride, Saria Barney, whose body was found hidden in a drainpipe behind their apartment; her mother testified about his behavior in the days after Saria vanished. He has pleaded not guilty, and the trial resumes today. This episode references suicide.
