新罕布什尔发布家暴死亡审查首份报告：近四年六成凶杀案与家暴有关，提11项改革
新罕布什尔州司法部长约翰·福梅拉宣布，该州家暴死亡审查委员会（DVFRC）发布首份两年期报告，提出11项建议，旨在强化全州对家庭暴力的应对、防止悲剧重演。报告于10月5日（周一）公布。这个16人委员会由州长凯利·阿约特2025年签署立法设立，起因是2025年25岁女子玛丽索尔·富恩特斯-瓦拉查在柏林市被疏远的丈夫小迈克尔·格利森开枪打死。案件暴露了执法与司法系统的严重漏洞：内部审查认定，法院在枪击发生前本已掌握足够证据拒绝格利森保释，但他最终仅以500美元保释金获释。阿约特要求委员会首先审查富恩特斯-瓦拉查一案。过去一年，委员会深入审查了两起家暴凶杀案，并据此及广泛讨论形成11项建议。报告中的数字触目惊心：2022年至2025年，全州68起凶杀案中有44起（64%）与家暴有关；这44名死者中，22人被家人杀害、20人被亲密伴侣杀害、另2人死于家暴相关事件。2009年至2025年，全州57%的凶杀案与家暴有关。枪支是首要致死手段，多数受害者死于与凶手共同居住的家中，四分之一的受害者不满20岁。行政议员珍妮特·史蒂文斯（共和党）称这些发现“令人警醒”。11项建议包括：为惯犯设立加重处罚等级；引入循证风险评估工具，帮助法官在民事与刑事案件中识别虐待模式与致命风险；检视各县在加害人问责上的差异；厘清违反保护令的认定与恰当指控；对911调度员和接线员开展家暴培训；关注警察与检察官的同情疲劳与替代性创伤；组建由警察、检察官、受害者援助人员、缓刑假释官参与的家暴高风险响应团队；在巡回法院刑事案件中加强受害者代言；重建家暴协调委员会；把儿童创伤响应团队扩展到更多社区。“这个委员会让新罕布什尔拥有更强有力的跨部门机制来审查这些案件、寻找挽救生命的机会，”福梅拉说，“没有任何一个机构能独自解决这个问题。工作不会随着这份报告结束，而是从这里开始。”委员会成员、州反家暴与性暴力联盟公共事务负责人阿曼达·格雷迪·塞克斯顿表示：“法官每天都在做决定，影响着受害者是否安全。无论审理刑事案件还是保护令申请，他们都需要可靠的工具来识别虐待模式和严重或致命暴力的风险。”联盟的阿莉萨·丹德里亚说，“家暴凶杀是可以预防的”，这份报告给出了追究加害人责任、更早识别危险、更好保护受害者及其子女的具体步骤。委员会将继续开会，跟踪监督建议的落实，审查案件，并在未来几年提出进一步建议。
New Hampshire Issues First Domestic Violence Fatality Review Report With 11 Recommendations After Finding 64% of Recent Homicides DV-Related
New Hampshire Attorney General John M. Formella has announced the first biennial report of the state’s Domestic Violence Fatality Review Committee (DVFRC), issuing 11 recommendations to strengthen the state’s response to domestic violence and prevent future killings. The report was released Monday, October 5. The 16-member committee was created by legislation signed into law by Governor Kelly A. Ayotte in 2025, after the 2025 murder of 25-year-old Marisol Fuentes-Huaracha in Berlin. Fuentes-Huaracha was fatally shot by her estranged husband, Michael Gleason Jr., in a case that exposed critical failures across law enforcement and the courts: an internal review determined the courts had sufficient evidence to deny Gleason bail before the shooting, but he walked free on $500 bail. Governor Ayotte asked the committee to first review Fuentes-Huaracha’s murder. Over the past year, the committee conducted in-depth reviews of two domestic violence homicides and built its 11 recommendations on those reviews and its broader discussions. The numbers in the report are stark. From 2022 through 2025, 44 of New Hampshire’s 68 homicides — 64 percent — were domestic violence-related. Of those 44 deaths, 22 victims were killed by a family member, 20 by an intimate partner, and two others died in domestic violence-related incidents. From 2009 through 2025, domestic violence was a factor in 57 percent of all homicides in the state. Firearms were the leading cause of death, most victims died in the home they shared with their killer, and one in four victims was under the age of 20. Executive Councilor Janet Stevens (R-Rye) called the findings “sobering.” The 11 recommendations call for creating an enhanced offense level for repeat domestic violence offenders; exploring evidence-based risk assessment tools to help judges recognize patterns of abuse and lethal risk in civil and criminal cases; examining differences between counties in how offenders are held accountable; improving understanding of protective order violations and the appropriate charges for them; training 911 dispatchers and call takers on domestic violence; addressing compassion fatigue and secondary trauma among police and prosecutors; exploring domestic violence high-risk response teams that bring together police, prosecutors, advocates, and probation and parole officers; promoting victim advocacy in Circuit Court criminal cases; reviving domestic violence coordinating councils; and expanding childhood trauma response teams to more communities. “This Committee gives New Hampshire a stronger, multidisciplinary process for examining these cases and identifying opportunities to save lives,” Formella said. “No single agency can solve this problem alone. The work does not end with this report; it begins here.” Amanda Grady Sexton, the committee’s public-affairs member from the New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence, said: “Judges make decisions every day that affect whether a victim is safe. They need reliable tools to help them recognize patterns of abuse and the risk of serious or lethal violence, whether they are hearing a criminal case or a request for a protective order.” Alyssa Dandrea of the Coalition said “domestic violence homicides are preventable” and that the report offers specific steps to hold offenders accountable, recognize danger sooner, and better protect victims and their children. The committee will continue to meet, track and monitor implementation of its recommendations, review cases, and issue further recommendations in the years to come.
