Supreme Court of New Hampshire

State of New Hampshire v. Cody M. Frye

September 27, 2023

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Hampshire reversed the trial court’s finding that the State met its clear‑and‑convincing‑evidence burden under RSA 597:1‑c and vacated and remanded the dangerousness determination under RSA 597:2, III(a). The Court held that the evidence did not show the fentanyl delivered on July 29 caused the decedent’s death, and it instructed the lower court to reassess the dangerousness issue.
