WFEA host Jeff Chidester talks with veteran New Hampshire reporter Damien Fisher to break down three major legal and constitutional stories making headlines across the Granite State:

• Ex-Corrections Officer Who Was Acquitted of Murder Settles Wrongful Death Lawsuit: They discuss the settlement reached by Matthew Millar, the former corrections officer who spent a year in jail and was later acquitted of second-degree murder in the 2023 death of Secure Psychiatric Unit patient Jason Rothe. While Millar has settled his portion of the wrongful death lawsuit brought by Rothe’s sister, litigation continues against the Department of Corrections and other staff members.

• Jury Wanted State to Pay $16 Million to Saddleback Victim: They examine fallout and juror frustrations from a high-profile state lawsuit, highlighting confusion over jury verdict forms and questions regarding accountability and compensation related to institutional abuse cases.

• Pink Wristbands, Silenced Parents: Bow Families Press Free Speech Case: They look into the ongoing First Amendment battle at Bow High School, where families are pushing their free speech case after being punished by school officials for wearing pink “XX” wristbands during a protest involving biological sex and girls’ sports policies.
