State v. Hutchinson

Following a jury trial in Superior Court (Nadeau, J.), the defendant, Walter Hutchinson, Jr., was convicted of first-degree murder for the killing of Kimberly Ernest, and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. See RSA 630:1-a (2007 & Supp. 2010). On appeal, he argues that the trial court erred in denying his motion to dismiss for insufficient evidence of causation of death. We affirm.

The facts of this case are well-documented in two prior opinions of this court, and therefore we do not recite them in their entirety. See State v. Hutchinson, 156 N.H. 790 (2008)…
