Supreme Court of New Hampshire

State v. Miller

February 19, 20252025 N.H. 11

Summary

The court affirmed Miller’s convictions except for false imprisonment. It held that the evidence did not support a mutual-consent jury instruction, that the obstruction instruction adequately conveyed the required elements, and that criminal mischief and obstruction did not merge because they required different evidence. The court reversed the false-imprisonment conviction because the confinement was incidental to and inseparable from the assault. There are no separate opinions.
