CONCORD — Associate Supreme Court Justice Anna Barbara Hantz Marconi says Chief Justice Gordon MacDonald told her she had every right to speak with Gov. Chris Sununu on behalf of her husband Geno Marconi’s criminal investigation in the June 6 conversation that ultimately led to her being indicted.
Richard Guerriero, Hantz Marconi’s lawyer, filed a motion Wednesday seeking to recuse MacDonald because he told Hantz Marconi that she had a legal right to speak with Sununu before she did so.
