The State of New Hampshire v. Joshua Wells

Date: 03-13-2026

Case Number: 2026 N.H. 8

Judge: ST. Hilaire

Court: Superior Court, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire

Plaintiff's Attorney: Hillsborough County, New Hampshire County Attorney's Office

Defendant's Attorney: Donna Brown, Michael Eaton, and Michael Eaton

Description:
Manchester, New Hampshire, criminal defense lawyers represented the Defendant charged with misdemeanor consult and arresting arrest.

The trial court remains uniquely situated to evaluate video
evidence in context. For example, after hearing testimony
explaining what a video depicts, the trial court is in a superior
position to resolve disputes about perspective, timing, or events
occurring beyond the scope of the video, to assess witness
credibility and demeanor, and to integrate those findings with any
other evidence presented. The appellate court’s role is to review
whether the trial court’s findings are reasonably supported by the
record, not to reweigh the credibility or effect of visual evidence
itself.
