State of New Hampshire v. Katherine M.J. McGregor

THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

SUPREME COURT

In Case No. 2019-0227, State of New Hampshire v.
Katherine M.J. McGregor, the court on May 14, 2020, issued the
following order:

Having considered the briefs and record submitted on appeal, we
conclude that oral argument is unnecessary in this case. See Sup. Ct. R. 18(1).
We affirm.

The defendant, Katherine M.J. McGregor, appeals her conviction,
following a jury trial in Superior Court (Wageling, J.), for reckless conduct with
a deadly weapon. See RSA 631:3 (Supp. 2019). She contends that the trial
court erred by denying her motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict
because she alleges that the evidence was insufficient to establish: (1) the
speed or distance traveled by her motor vehicle when she drove it toward the
police officer, requiring him to jump out of the way; and (2) the nature of the
injuries that the officer would have sustained had the defendant struck him
with her vehicle.

As the appealing party, the defendant has the burden of demonstrating
reversible error. Gallo v. Traina, 166 N.H. 737, 740 (2014). Based upon our
review of the trial court’s well-reasoned order, the defendant’s challenges to it,
the relevant law, and the record submitted on appeal, we conclude that she has
not demonstrated reversible error. See id.

Affirmed.

Hicks, Bassett, Hantz Marconi, and Donovan, JJ., concurred.

Timothy A. Gudas,
Clerk
