CONC0RD — The N.H. Supreme Court has reversed two convictions against a substitute teacher charged with assaulting a 14-year-old male student at Gorham Middle High School.

In a ruling handed down Friday, the court said Coos County Superior Court Justice Peter Bornstein erred when he failed to instruct the jury on a special responsibilities defense on the simple assault charges.
