New Hampshire court rejects Addison death sentence appeal
Original: New Hampshire Supreme Court rejects Michael Addison's petition to review death sentence
The New Hampshire Supreme Court has rejected a petition from Michael Addison seeking review of his death sentence. Addison, the only person on death row in New Hampshire, was sentenced for killing a Manchester police officer in 2006. The state abolished the death penalty in 2019, but the ban was not retroactive, keeping his case controversial.
Why now: Addison remains New Hampshire's only death row inmate despite the state abolishing capital punishment, keeping his legal battles in the spotlight.
