New Hampshire court upholds death penalty for state's only death row inmate

Original: New Hampshire court upholds death penalty for state’s only death row inmate

A New Hampshire court has upheld the death penalty sentence for the state's only death row inmate. The ruling keeps in place the sole capital sentence in a state that abolished the death penalty in 2019, leaving open the question of whether the sentence will ultimately be carried out or commuted. The decision is drawing attention because it concerns an exception in a state that has otherwise moved away from capital punishment.

Why now: A court decision affecting the only remaining death sentence in a state that abolished capital punishment is naturally newsworthy.
