"He is being held at Hawaii Community Correctional Center in Hilo pending a criminal trial scheduled to begin March 22."

March 22, 2010????? This crime happened in June 2007. Why does it take almost 3 full years between a crime and a trial. That is ridiculous. Justice delayed is not justice served. What happens in cases where the only witness is elderly and they end up dying by the time the trial starts, then the guy goes free. Isn't part of the constitution a right to a fair and speedy trial? 3 years is not speedy. If i was innocent and had to wait 3 years in jail before my trial started so i could prove my innocence, I would be a bit PO'ed at losing 3 years of my life sitting in jail cell waiting for the trail to start.

Waiting 3 years for a trial is fair and speedy in Hawaii. And since he stay with the Hawaii Army National Guard all he going get is some probation and some kine of community service. Da lucky buggah.
