A retired New Hampshire judge has been chosen to oversee the disciplinary process for Supreme Court Justice Anna Barbara Hantz Marconi, who is facing criminal and disciplinary action for allegedly trying to use her relationship with Governor Chris Sununu to influence an investigation. Hantz Marconi has been indicted on two felony counts and five misdemeanor charges. Superior Court Chief Justice Tina Nadeau will join four other judges in handling the case after other members of the Supreme Court recused themselves. Nadeau was randomly selected from a pool of retired judges. Hantz Marconi has been a member of the New Hampshire Supreme Court since 2017. The case has attracted significant attention, with previous coverage highlighting the involvement of Hantz Marconi’s husband in the investigation. The disciplinary hearing is expected to be closely watched as the retired judge and other panel members take on the responsibility of overseeing the process. The involvement of a retired judge in such a high-profile case underscores the importance of impartiality and fairness in the disciplinary process for judicial officials. Citizens can expect transparency and accountability as this case unfolds in the courtroom.
