David Brock Impeachment Trial: 2000

The Senate Votes Acquittal



Over five hours, 17 of the 22 senators made statements of their opinions on whether the charges were serious enough to warrant impeachment or the evidence was persuasive enough. Then, on October 10, they voted acquittal: 18-4 on Article I; 17-5 on Article II; 18-4 on Article III; and 14-8 on Article IV.



On October 12, Chief Justice Brock, who had been temporarily replaced during the impeachment and trial, returned to the bench of the New Hampshire Supreme Court.
