Jahsiah Price-Brown appeared for his arraignment for a double stabbing in Ewa Beach on Dec. 23. He pleaded not guilty.

A 24-year-old Ewa Beach man pleaded not guilty today in connection with the stabbing of his ex-girlfriend and her mother.

Jahsiah Price-Brown appeared at Circuit Court this morning via closed circuit video link from the Oahu Community Correctional Center for his arraignment. Deputy public defender Edward Aquino entered a plea of not guilty on behalf of Price-Brown. An Oahu grand jury indicted Price-Brown last week for attempted murder. He remains in custody on $2 million bail.

According to court documents and a deputy prosecutor, Price-Brown allegedly choked and punched his ex-girlfriend at his home and stabbed her in the chest on Dec. 23.

Her mother entered the home after she heard her daughter call for help. Price-Brown’s ex-girlfriend went to the kitchen and saw her mother in a struggle with Price-Brown.

The woman jumped on and choked Price-Brown in an attempt to get him off her mother.

Price-Brown then allegedly stabbed his ex-girlfriend’s mother as she attempted to flee from the home.

A neighbor, who said he saw the attack through a window, broke in through the front door and pulled the mother out of the house. He returned to the home when he allegedly saw Price-Brown stabbing the other woman as she was lying on the sofa.

At some point, Price-Brown’s ex-girlfriend calmed him down and took the knife from his hand before she staggered out of the home.

Police recovered an 8-inch knife covered with blood just outside the front door.

The two women were taken to Queen’s Medical Center where they underwent surgery. Both suffered rib fractures during the stabbing.

    The parents of this Piece of Work should be prosecuted for what they Created

      He’s a perfect example why abortion should be legal and when the state should step in when the parents won’t. Too bad abortion wasn’t legal when cretins like Nanci Pelosi and Krook Caldwell were brought into this world.

    The devil made me do it? How do you have the olos to plead not guilty in a case like this?

    • Pocho says:

      NO, he’s not guilty! The Drugs made him do it.

      • dragoninwater says:

        Fine have it your way but technically he’s a accessory and accomplice! LOL

        But knowing the inept prosecutor, they’ll release him since he never actually murdered anyone, the prosecutor is famous for offering a plea-bargain deal to put him only on probation if he immediately fills out the voter registration card and bubbles in ā€œDā€.

        Another catch-and-release shill game like they did with that guy with 17 convictions punching random people in the face!

    Not guilty? He’s gonna claim he doesn’t remember a thing. (Wasn’t he treated for a drug overdose?) smh

    Forget the 3 strikes and life or death penalty the old and traditional way as it’s a pure waste! Just make him a mandatory organ donor as partial restitution to society. He’s got 2 kidneys, 1st felony take 1 kidney and donate it to those on a kidney wait list. 2nd felony take another organ that will still allow him to live, 3rd strike, well, it’s time to donate the rest of him to the medical community to have their way with him.
