Supreme Court of New Hampshire

State of New Hampshire v. Brenna Cavanaugh

December 29, 2020

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Hampshire reversed the convictions of Brenna Cavanaugh and remanded for a new trial because the trial court erred by refusing to give a self‑defense jury instruction; the Court affirmed that the evidence was sufficient to support the accomplice convictions and upheld the admission of the victim's statements as excited utterances.
