Emissary
In a stunning development, New Hampshire Supreme Court Justice Anna Barbara Hantz Marconi, 69, returned to the bench on October 14, 2025, just one week after her conviction for corruption, making history as the first convicted criminal to serve in the state’s highest court.
Hantz Marconi, who was found guilty on October 7 of attempting to influence a criminal case involving her husband, appeared unshaken, reportedly displaying a smirk as she resumed her judicial duties.
The case centers on Hantz Marconi’s efforts to interfere in a criminal investigation against her husband, Geno Marconi, 73, the director of the New Hampshire Port Authority. Geno Marconi faces two felony charges—witness tampering and destroying physical evidence—along with four misdemeanors, stemming from a contentious dispute involving his family’s chowder business and a rival lobster shack at Rye Harbor.
Hantz Marconi entered a no-contest plea to the corruption charge, acknowledging that prosecutors had sufficient evidence to prove she attempted to sway the investigation. The controversy began in June 2024, when Hantz Marconi met with then-Governor Chris Sununu to discuss her husband’s case, claiming the investigation was driven by personal or political bias and lacked merit.
Sununu, speaking to WMUR9, described the situation as “incredibly serious,” praising the attorney general’s office for upholding high standards in the investigation.
Hantz Marconi’s return to the bench has sparked outrage and raised questions about judicial ethics and accountability in New Hampshire.
