Felony cases in New Hampshire are heard in the Superior Court, misdemeanors in the Circuit Court, District Division, and the court clerk keeps the case files. No statewide court source is part of our search for New Hampshire; where a county publishes its own court records the county page carries them, and otherwise the clerk's file is the only place the outcome lives.
