The defendant Cindy Grant-Chase is charged in a one count indictment with criminal solicitation to commit murder. RSA 629:2, I; RSA ch. 630 (1996 and Supp. 2001). The charge arises out of the defendant's alleged efforts, while incarcerated at the New Hampshire State Prison for Women, to have a fellow inmate, Carol Carriola, arrange for someone to murder the wife of a New Hampshire probation/parole officer with whom the defendant had had an affair. Presently before the court is the defendant's motion to suppress a tape recording of a conversation between the defendant and Carriola which was recorded with Carriola's consent.
