CONCORD, N.H. - The New Hampshire Supreme Court was split 2-2 Friday over a woman s nearly nine-year battle to challenge her firing from the state Department of Health and Human Services over breastfeeding, meaning a lower court s decision to dismiss her case stands.
When the court heard the case in January 2020, it lacked a fifth member after its chief justice stepped down the previous summer. Former Attorney General Gordon MacDonald was sworn in as chief justice last week, well over a year after the case was argued.
âI wasn t expecting a tie, said Kate Frederick, who has since worked on legislation in New Hampshire strengthening breastfeeding rights. She added, âIt s telling women and families, âNew Hampshire, we don t even acknowledge you, we don t even care about your issues, we re not going to decide this.

NORTHAMPTON A 26-year-old Northampton man was sentenced to two years in jail on Monday for driving a stolen car into a downtown bus stop and severely injuring a man who had been sleeping there before taking off and leading police on a high-speed chase last June.
In a virtual hearing, Christopher Durham pleaded guilty in Northampton District Court to leaving the scene of personal injury, leaving the scene of property damage, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, failure to stop for police, and driving with a suspended license. The prosecution and the defense agreed to the jail sentence, and Durham participated from the county jail in Ludlow where he has been held since his arraignment in October. The hearing was presided over by Judge Laurie MacLeod.
