Supreme Court of New Hampshire

State of New Hampshire v. Charles Paul

November 14, 2023

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Hampshire affirmed the defendant’s convictions, holding that a suspended sentence counts as “confinement for” the original conviction for purposes of the ten‑year limitation in Rule 609, so the prior convictions were admissible, and finding no error in the trial court’s in‑camera review of the victim’s mental‑health records because the undisclosed portions were not material or relevant.
