State of New Hampshire v. Bryan Weston Luikart

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Hampshire reversed the trial court’s order imposing a portion of Bryan Weston Luikart’s suspended sentence, holding that the State failed to prove by a preponderance that Luikart committed witness tampering and that the mens‑rea element of RSA 641:5, I requires a belief of probability, not merely a mere possibility, of an official proceeding.
