Case Results of Leif Becker

The defendant, Matthew Clark, was charged with felony criminal threatening after an incident in which the complainant secretly recorded a conversation. Defense counsel, Attorney Leif A. Becker of Becker Legal, PLLC, filed a motion to suppress the recording on grounds that it violated New Hampshire’s wiretapping statute. The trial court denied the motion, and the defense pursued an interlocutory appeal to the New Hampshire Supreme Court. The appeal centered on whether suppression was required for recordings made in violation of the misdemeanor subsection of the wiretapping statute.
