Rose Smith testified Thursday that she witnessed Adam Montgomery’s rage and abuse toward his wife, Kayla, before driving them to one of their appointments at a methadone clinic in Manchester
Nicole Giles did not want to testify in Adam Montgomery’s murder trial, fearing for the safety of her children if she appeared on camera in Hillsborough Superior Court North in Manchester.
