New Hampshire Supreme Court Overturns Adam Montgomery Murder Conviction

The New Hampshire Supreme Court reversed Adam Montgomery’s second-degree murder conviction, ordering a retrial while leaving his other convictions intact. According to WMUR, the court found that the assault and murder charges had been improperly joined in the original trial. The decision therefore required a new proceeding on the murder count. The court’s opinion emphasized procedural fairness.

AP News later reported that the court’s order upheld the remaining convictions, including the first-degree murder and other related charges. The ruling sends the case back to lower courts for a new trial on the second-degree murder charge. Montgomery’s legal team will now prepare for the retrial.
