Supreme Court of New Hampshire

State v. Jonathan L. Woodbury

July 11, 2019

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Hampshire affirmed Jonathan L. Woodbury’s convictions for falsifying physical evidence and assault by a prisoner, as well as the sentences imposed. The Court held that the evidence was sufficient to support the falsifying‑evidence conviction, that the trial court correctly declined a jury instruction defining “official investigation,” that the multiple assault convictions did not violate double‑jeopardy protections, and that there was insufficient evidence to warrant a mutual‑combat instruction.
