New Hampshire Supreme Court Justice Anna Marconi pleads no contest to misdemeanor criminal solicitation over alleged efforts to influence a probe into her husband.

New Hampshire Supreme Court Justice Anna Barbara Hantz Marconi has agreed to enter a no-contest plea to a misdemeanor charge of criminal solicitation related to allegations she tried to influence a probe into her husband, former Port Authority director Geno Marconi. The plea, part of a negotiated agreement, avoids a trial and allows prosecutors to classify the offense as non-serious, potentially aiding her bid to restore her suspended law license. The case stems from a 2023 meeting with former Governor Chris Sununu, which her defense says was lawful, though prosecutors allege improper conduct. Her husband faces separate felony and misdemeanor charges over alleged data misuse. The resolution ends a high-profile legal battle that prompted recusals from all justices in her disciplinary case.
