Beyond a reasonable doubt.
Reasonable man standard.
Historically, the local way, of doing business.
Kenoi is now qualified to be President.
Well is as well qualified as the Donald. lol
Apparently the jurors were not paying attention and listened to all the other junk that was thrown around. Predictable, in Hawaii.
At the very least he is guilt of exercising extremely poor judgement. There is an appearance of lackadaisical investigative and prosecutorial efforts from day one.
He has to pay his lawyers or not ? That would be a huge fine in itself.
Going to buy liquor and some poke for the lawyers with his pcard and then say alls good and then go surf.
lawyers with good lawyers made the state’s lawyers look a bit outmatched.
Well if you can call the judge a lawyer since he has to be one in being appointed or elected. The judge threw a number of charges that were easy to prove. The fix was in and the union called in their chits?
At least a slap on the wrist…
And yet you’re okay with KROOKWELL perpetrating Hawaii’s own Crime of the Century…
No comparison. Caldwell is doing an outstanding job.
Th Prosecutor gave this conviction away by not charging his bike and surfboard.
And his hostess bar bills.
The FIX was in.
Prosecutor was out-lawyered and wasn’t careful in selection of jurors.
Unfortunately the Nei has no laws against electing utterly incompetent bureaucrats. Had their been such a law he would now be in prison.
The law protects the innocent as well as the guilty. If you can beat your accusers in a court of law you are then declared innocent. We have due processes for good reason. Lynch mobs cannot rule.
Awwww … why not?!!!
What about
D) Expected…businesscas usual for the Nei?
Well, he was almost convicted… no problem it will probably close enough to impress the Hawaii old boy network and get him a shot at governor. A conviction would have insured a shoe in.
How come politicians and government employees aren’t like the rest of us who gotta wait for reimbursement for expenses on our own personal cards? One thing: how much interest on the balance of the mayor’s P-Card was paid by the tax payers until he reimbursed the county?
Thank the Democratic majority!
As the Mayor, I believe that he has the right to purchase alcohol for entertainment. I don’t believe that is illegal. However, purchasing at a strip club or hostess bar must be against some kind of code of conduct. Not reimbursing the City back within a reasonable time is also not illegal, but again, must be against a code of conduct. Would the City allow any other management employee make purchases at a hostess club? Would the City allow any other employee to not have to reimburse them back for so long? I believe that in both instances, the employee should be fired. Such as the case, Billy should be fired.
Anyone who has a Pcard knows how to use it now.
Thanks Billy
