“The current posture of that is that we are not connected to the internet, intentionally, and this may exist for another few days to a couple of weeks,” Fairbanks Superior Court Judge Thomas Temple said Wednesday in a teleconference call from his courtroom.
“I don’t know what the result is,” he said, but noted, “we will not be able to have a Zoom hearing this week” as planned.
Aside from a week’s worth of hearings in February in which the attorneys appeared in the courtroom, more recent pretrial hearings in the case have relied on videoconference, with only the judge appearing from the courtroom. Witnesses and attorneys have appeared via Zoom while defendant Steven Downs, 46, of Auburn has listened in and spoken by phone from jail.
Judge Templeton
BEAUMONT – Judge Mitch Templeton did not err by opting not to grant a new trial in car wreck suit that resulted in a jury awarding no damages, according to an opinion issued by the Ninth Court of Appeals today.
Court records show plaintiff Taylor Carter, who is represented by The Provost Umphrey Law Firm, sued Joseph Pham to recover damages for injuries allegedly sustained in a motor vehicle incident. The case went to trial in July 2019, with jurors finding both parties equally negligent and opting not to award any damage.
In October 2019, Carter filed a motion for new trial, which Judge Templeton denied the following month.
CONCORD, NH The state Senate voted unanimously Thursday in favor of proposed legislation that would make public police disciplinary hearings before the Police Standards and Training Council and make public the confidential Laurie List of dishonest police.
State Sen. Sharon Carson, R-Londonderry, introduced House Bill 471 and its recent amendment, congratulating everyone who worked on what she called a compromise to the controversial Laurie List issue.

There was no mention that the amendment stems from confidential negotiations between ACLU-NH, Solicitor General Daniel Will and five of the news outlets involved in a public records lawsuit against the state seeking to make public the names of the 280 plus officers on the list. Only one news outlet, lead petitioner the New Hampshire Center for Public Interest Journalism, opposed the compromise.
