The State of New Hampshire v. Seth Bader

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant's murder and conspiracy convictions and the denial of his motion for a new trial. It held that the trial judge was not required to recuse, the defendant received the exculpatory discovery to which he was entitled, the challenged hearsay was properly admitted and reliable under the Confrontation Clause, and the alleged jury misconduct caused no demonstrated prejudice. The court also held that the alleged recantation did not satisfy the requirements for newly discovered evidence or establish a due process violation.
