Homeless man found guilty of murder of another man in Kailua stairwell

A state jury deliberated for barely two hours Wednesday before finding Robert Roediger-Geauque guilty of murder in the stabbing death of a homeless man in Kailua in 2014.

Roediger-Geauque faces a mandatory life prison term with the possibility for parole at sentencing in October.

The state says Roediger-Geauque killed Scott MacMillan Jan. 13, 2014, in the stairwell of an Uluniu Street building over sleeping space. McMillan, 37, had permission to use the covered space and refused to share it with Roediger-Geauque on a night when rain made it uncomfortable to sleep in the open, Deputy Prosecutor Wayne Tashima told the jury.

    Caldwell’s “Housing First” will put drug addicted and mentally ill homeless into residential neighborhoods, without first requiring that they get treatment for drugs and mental problems. Lucky you live Hawaii — at least, lucky if you live in Caldwell’s wealthy Manoa neighborhood and its ilk, as the Mayor won’t put homeless there.

    Oh, look! An out of state homeless transplant is going to end up costing us for the rest of his life. How nice.

    This being Hawaii, the bum will more-than-likely get a 90-day suspended sentence, and an apology for being inconvenience.
