State of New Hampshire v. Keith Chandler

Summary

The court upheld the admission of a photographed screenshot of Facebook messages because the State offered sufficient circumstantial evidence to authenticate the messages, and the screenshot qualified as a duplicate that did not raise a genuine authenticity concern or unfairness. The court also upheld the denial of a new trial because counsel's decision not to call the victim's mother was reasonable trial strategy, so the defendant failed to establish deficient performance. The case was remanded for renewed in camera review of any undisclosed confidential records under the applicable disclosure standard.
