Maybe not "the" Supreme Court, but "a" Supreme Court.
... The New Hampshire Supreme Court on April 9 overturned businessman Richard Rosen's illegal voting conviction, ruling the trial court judge was wrong to suppress evidence that another man confessed to casting the illegal vote.
Rosen, 87, was found guilty of a class B felony in May 2024 for allegedly voting in the 2016 general election in both New Hampshire and Massachusetts. But the Supreme Court ruled Grafton Superior Court Judge Lawrence MacLeod erred by not allowing jurors to know that Rosen's Massachusetts groundskeeper, Billy Botelho, confessed to investigators that he had voted in Rosen's name.
"Botelho's statements either impliedly or expressly constitute confessions to voting in the defendant's name during the November 2016 election " the same election for which the defendant was charged with double voting," Associate Justice Patrick Donovan wrote in the unanimous decision.
Rosen is the CEO of the commercial greenhouse North Country Growers in Berlin. The company has suspended its operations pending new financing for the business. Employee payroll at the end of March could not be made and workers were sent home, according to The Berlin Sun.
Rosen has homes in Holderness and Belmont, Massachusetts, and there were absentee ballots cast in his name in both communities for the 2016 election. But when New Hampshire investigators talked to Botelho he told them he sent an absentee ballot in Rosen's name for the 2016 election, as he had a number of times over the years.
"Botelho again admitted to voting in the defendant's name three, maybe four times.' He stated that he first voted in the defendant's name in the 1970s and had most recently done so in the 2020 election," Donovan wrote. ...
