Attorney General John Formella released his second compliance report Friday required under the new state law that is supposed to make public the names of police or former officers who have been disciplined for dishonesty or excessive force.
Attorney General John Formella wants the lawsuit seeking the unredacted 280 names on the Laurie List of dishonest law enforcement officers dismissed, arguing the matter is no longer in dispute because a new law will make the list public anyway.
The lawsuit seeking the unredacted Laurie List of dishonest police will continue even though five of the newspapers and ACLU-NH that originally sued the attorney general to get the list have withdrawn saying it is moot now that HB 471 has been signed into law.
Since the Attorney General’s Office began maintaining the Laurie list of dishonest police now known as the Exculpatory Evidence Schedule in March of 2017, a total of 14 redacted names have been confidentially removed, according to Senior Assistant Attorney General Geoffrey Ward.
