"New Hampshire Supreme Court Justice Anna Barbara Hantz Marconi pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor and was sentenced to a $1,200 fine after striking a deal to resolve charges that she attempted to interfere with a criminal investigation involving her husband. Hantz Marconi, 69, was sentenced by Judge Martin Honigberg in Merrimack Superior Court in Concord after pleading no contest to criminal solicitation of misuse of position."
"Nothing says "instilling trust in the judiciary" quite like a financial slap on the wrist and getting back to work! While her law license has been suspended for the last year, she's set up to get back to judging if her license is reinstated. The only real question is if this ordeal will make her more lenient or harder on family disputes that come before her."
Justice Anna Barbara Hantz Marconi pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of criminal solicitation of misuse of position and was fined $1,200. Judge Martin Honigberg sentenced her in Merrimack Superior Court in Concord. The plea deal allowed her to avoid a trial where she faced the possibility of a felony conviction and prison. Her law license has been suspended for the past year; reinstatement would permit a return to judging. She is one of five Republican appointees on the New Hampshire Supreme Court. Observers questioned whether a Democratic appointee would receive similar scrutiny and how the ordeal might affect her rulings in family disputes.
