The State of New Hampshire v. Darlene Nightingale

Summary

The New Hampshire Supreme Court affirmed Darlene Nightingale’s conviction, holding that the trial court correctly admitted the cocaine‑related conversations, properly refused to give a limiting jury instruction, was not required to grant derivative use immunity, and properly admitted the informant’s prior testimony under the opening‑the‑door doctrine. The court found no reversible error on any of the defendant’s asserted grounds.
