MANCHESTER, N.H.- The New Hampshire Supreme Court has upheld a lower court’s ruling in the case against Dale E. Holloway Jr. the man convicted for the 2019 shooting inside a church in Pelham.

On Wednesday the high court released a 17-page ruling in which it denied Holloway’s appeal of each of his guilty verdicts handed down in November of 2023 by a Hillsboro County Superior Court Jury.

According to court documents Holloway was convicted on a single count each of attempted murder, along with being a felon in possession of a dangerous weapon, as well as second-degree assault and simple assault as well as two counts of first-degree assault. However, Holloway was found not guilty on a second count of attempted murder.

Holloway is currently severing a sentence of 40-year to life following the attack in 2019 in which he interrupted a wedding and shooting Bishop Stanley Choate, as he was presiding over the wedding of Mark Castiglione and Claire McMullen.
