3rd Assault 3 Trial Win

In the afternoon of Monday, March 18, 2013, I won my third Assault 3 trial in Honolulu District Court in Courtroom 7B. This was a case where the defendant and two other men punched and kicked a young male victim over twenty times each until he was bloodied and bruised up. They assaulted the victim three times over the course of fifteen to twenty minutes, which occurred at Restaurant Row in Honolulu.

In the meantime, at 2:00 P.M., Honolulu Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Tricia Nakamatsu testified in support of the Law Enforcement Coalition’s HB1059 HD2 that requires the court to advise a criminal defendant of the effects of a guilty or no contest plea on alien status at the defendant’s arraignment and plea hearing, and again prior to the entry of a guilty or no contest plea or the commencement of trial.
