USA - New Hampshire. A Hillsborough County jury issued New Hampshire's 1st death sentence in a half century to Michael Addison

A Hillsborough County Superior Court jury issued New Hampshire's 1st death sentence in a half century to Michael Addison, 28, who fatally shot police officer Michael Briggs on Oct. 16, 2006. The judge must formally impose the sentence, but cannot change it. New Hampshire hasn't executed anyone since 1939. The last time a New Hampshire court imposed the death penalty was in 1959, but the lives of the 2 convicted men were spared by a 1972 U.S. Supreme Court ruling.
