Newsmakers of the Year 2008: Michael Addison Sentenced To Death
| In December a New Hampshire jury handed down the state's first death sentence in almost fifty years. 2008 actually saw two defendants potentially face the death penalty: the first was John Brooks, who was found guilty in October of plotting and hiring men to kill Derry handyman Jack Reid. He was given life without parole. But then another jury gave Michael Addison the death sentence for killing Manchester police officer Michael Briggs. But the story isn't likely to end here; there will be appeals to the sentence, and currently the state doesn't even have a chamber to execute Addison. |
