that information about marriott's past be released for the appeal. but her family, the attorney general's office, state leaders, and victims groups argued that the state's rape shield law is designed to protect victims from having to reveal their sexual histories. >> advocacy groups, not just in new hampshire but all across the country. we're waiting to see the decision. i think that's why there was such outcry around the nation. it would have set back victim's rights and really set a precedent that would terrify victims from coming forward. ray: the attorney general's office said it had no comment. nothing from seth mazzaglia's attorneys. erin: state officials are issuing a warning to first responders about a new deadlier version of fentanyl.
