Star-Advertiser can get 5 recordings of 911 calls, judge rules
A state judge has ruled that the city must release recordings of five 911 calls related to the June 3 highway shooting spree that left one dead and two wounded.
But Circuit Judge Edwin Nacino turned down the Honolulu Star-Advertiser’s request for four other 911 calls, including three from the victims.
The judge indicated the release of the victims’ calls would be an invasion of privacy.
Still, the judge ruled that the city must pay the newspaper’s attorney fees and costs for prevailing on the request for the five tapes.
