In an ongoing legal battle between Anthony Sanborn, owner of now-shuttered Concord Casino, and the New Hampshire Attorney General, a new issue involving the handling of privileged documents has emerged.
On Aug. 21, Judge John Kissinger of the Merrimack County Superior Court ordered both parties to submit a plan to address the handling of these documents and “how clearly privileged documents may have been missed or not properly screened by the taint team.”
A taint team ensures that attorneys involved in the investigation or prosecution remain unaffected by potentially privileged materials and decide what information can be shared with the investigative or prosecutorial teams.
