Laurie List’s Legacy: They are called Exculpatory Evidence Schedules now, but InDepthNH.org continues its investigative reporting on the secret list that contains the names of law enforcement officers in New Hampshire who have a history of dishonesty, excessive force or mental instability. Catch up on our reporting here.
The 264 names on the secretive Laurie List, now known as the Exculpatory Evidence Schedule, will likely remain secret for now despite Judge Charles Temple’s ruling last month that the list – including the unredacted names – is a public record.
The stipulation included the first mention that Attorney General Gordon MacDonald would appeal the decision to the state Supreme Court.
The Laurie List now includes 264 redacted names, up from 153 a year ago.
Solicitor General Daniel Will and ACLU-NH legal director Gilles Bissonnette disagree about what Judge Temple’s order actually says.
A.B. also makes no claim that the discipline was unjust or inaccurate or that inclusion on the list was in error.
Mark Burch was sentenced to 12 months at the House of Corrections, all of which is suspended for a period of two years.
“If HB155 is signed into law, it would likely end the need for the ‘newspaper/ACLU’ lawsuit,” Rep. Paul Berch said.
Solicitor General Daniel Will: “This isn’t a case about the Department of Justice trying to protect the police or trying to be pro-police or anything like that.”
In one year, the list of dishonest law enforcement officers in New Hampshire has grown from 153 redacted names to 258.
