Supreme Court of New Hampshire

State of New Hampshire v. Brandon Griffin

January 11, 2022

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Hampshire affirmed Brandon Griffin’s drug‑enterprise‑leader conviction, holding that his speedy‑trial claim failed because he acquiesced to the delay and suffered no identifiable prejudice, and his due‑process claim failed because the DEL indictment was not based solely on the same transaction underlying his earlier plea agreement. The Court applied the Barker four‑factor test and distinguished the rule from State v. Lordan.
