Statement on Sentence Handed Down in the Montgomery Murder Case

Concord, NH – Attorney General John M. Formella issues the following statement about the sentence handed down today in the Montgomery murder case:

“Justice has been served and Harmony Montgomery’s memory and legacy remain our focus. Today’s sentence demonstrates that our legal system takes heinous crimes seriously and holds perpetrators accountable for their actions. The murder of an innocent child leaves a lasting scar on New Hampshire and our hearts go out to Harmony’s family and all those who knew and loved her. I want to thank our dedicated trial team and all of our law enforcement partners for their work on this case, especially the dedicated law enforcement professionals with the Manchester Police Department. Their tireless efforts led to the justice Harmony received in the sentence handed down today. While no sentence can bring back the life that was taken, we will honor Harmony’s memory by working to ensure that we are doing all we can to protect New Hampshire’s children and bring any person that would harm a child to justice.”
