CONCORD — The N.H. Supreme Court last week upheld the first-degree murder conviction of Roger Dana in the 2016 beating death of his infant daughter in Berlin.

The 48-year-old Dana had appealed his conviction, arguing the trial court allowed inadmissible testimony and erred in its instructions to the jury. He is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
