State v. Warren

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Hampshire held that permitting the child victim to testify via a one‑way video feed outside the defendant's presence violated the state constitutional right to face‑to‑face confrontation, reversing the second‑degree assault conviction and remanding for a new trial, while affirming the first‑degree assault conviction as the error was harmless. The court also affirmed the trial court's rulings on the admissibility of uncharged conduct evidence and the competency determination.
