What this bill proposes to do is to give jurisdiction over all felony cases to the New Hampshire Superior Court. On the surface this seems like it would streamline the processing of felonies by the courts. But, keep in mind that most self-defense cases involving a firearm are charged as felonies. Now, instead of being entitled to a probable cause hearing in District court, where charges could be dropped, defendants would have to proceed immediately to a costly high-stakes trial. |

| Too bad the NH/MA border is so open ! One of the "downsides' of our improved road networks ! Seems MA's resident socialist/progressives have invaded NH in sufficient quantity to affect serious social legal changes. Changes not so "financially troubling" for those earning the "big bucks" - or living in select communities - while enjoying a lower=case taxes and local economy, but a life-altering disaster for most NH residents. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
