Former Justice Faces Ethics Probe | Concord News

Former New Hampshire Supreme Court Justice Anna Barbara Hantz Marconi faces ethics charges from the state’s Judicial Conduct Committee for allegedly trying to sway former Governor Chris Sununu to intervene in a criminal investigation into her husband — a move she later admitted was ill-advised. Though she stepped down at age 70 and pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor over related statements, the committee insists on proceeding with a three-day hearing starting December 7, citing violations of judicial ethics laws. Her legal team argues further punishment is unnecessary given her admissions, while the committee maintains its review despite her retirement. The probe also includes an earlier call with Stephen Duprey, and tensions rose when Chief Justice Gordon MacDonald denied knowing about the Sununu meeting before it happened.
