Concord, NH – Attorney General Gordon J. MacDonald announces a criminal investigation into alleged criminal conduct of Circuit Court Judge Julie A. Introcaso.

The investigation was initiated based on information received today from the New Hampshire Supreme Court which alleges that Judge Introcaso whited out two court orders. The investigation by the Attorney General's Office will focus on whether the alleged alterations could constitute falsifying physical evidence, in violation of RSA 641:6, or tampering with public records or information, in violation of RSA 641:7, as well as other criminal conduct as dictated by the evidence.

Because this is a criminal investigation, no further information will be provided at this time. Additional information will be provided when possible, consistent with our obligation to ensure the integrity of the investigation.
