State of New Hampshire v. Jerry Newton

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Hampshire affirmed the defendant's convictions and the trial court's denial of a new trial, holding that any error in excluding out-of-court statements was harmless, that counsel's performance was not constitutionally deficient, and that the disclosure of incriminating text messages, while deficient, was not prejudicial. The Court also upheld the trial court's decision to order a sentencing‑review hearing.
