Supreme Court of New Hampshire

State v. James Castine

August 21, 2019

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Hampshire affirmed James Castine’s convictions for three counts of selling a controlled drug and the sentences imposed, holding that the evidence was sufficient to support guilt and that the trial court did not err in considering evidence of his role as a drug‑enterprise leader at sentencing. The Court applied the standard of review for sufficiency challenges and reviewed the sentencing discretion under the unsustainable exercise of discretion standard.
