State v. Anaya
Supreme Court of New Hampshire
Decided June 12, 1991No. 90-256PublishedCited by 27 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtJohnson, J.
The defendant, Anthony Anaya, was convicted of being an accomplice to second degree murder, see RSA 630:l-b, 626:8, and appeals the Superior Court’s (Gray, J.) denial of his motion for new trial. We have previously considered this case on other grounds. State v. Anaya, 131 N.H. 330, 553 A.2d 297 (1988). The motion alleged ineffective assistance of counsel and was based on his attorney’s plea to the jury, during closing argument, to convict Anaya of being an accomplice to second degree murder, rather than first degree murder. We reverse and remand for a new trial.
