New Hampshire Justice Indicted for Improper Influence

New Hampshire Supreme Court Associate Justice Anna Barbara Hantz Marconi has been indicted on charges of attempting to interfere with a criminal investigation into her husband, Geno Marconi, who is on administrative leave as the head of the New Hampshire Port Authority. The indictment includes two felony counts for improper influence and five misdemeanors related to official oppression and misuse of position. Attorney General John Formella emphasized the importance of accountability, stating that 'no person is above the law,' and the decision to indict a sitting justice was made after careful consideration. Allegations suggest that Hantz Marconi contacted Governor Chris Sununu, claiming that the investigation was biased and needed to be concluded swiftly due to her recusal from pending cases. Her legal team has declared her innocence and plans to contest the charges. The ongoing investigation into Geno Marconi has raised concerns about public trust in the judiciary and the implications of such accusations against a sitting justice.
