CONCORD, NH – Deputy House Majority Leader Joe Sweeney (R-Salem) released the following statement after a review of Magistrate Stephanie Johnson’s handling of Michael Gleason’s case found “sufficient evidence existed to hold Gleason in preventative detention.”
“Yesterday’s, findings prove what we have all known all along: Johnson lacks the judgement, clarity, and common sense needed to serve the Granite State.”
“Republican bail fixes which take effect in the coming weeks will help to ensure that we do not see the same utter lack of judgement displayed by Johnson again. We cannot undo the damage Johnson did by releasing a violent killer back onto the streets. However, it is not too late for Johnson to do the right thing and resign, before we impeach her and force her out of office ourselves.”
