Oops auto-correct fail. Should be that his original plan did not work. My original perspective on this case was based on him being reasonably intelligent, not wanting to get caught, planning to commit the crime in advance, and therefore planning to dispose of evidence. I was stumped by all...

Moxie, it could certainly be that meth was a way to fuel himself for violence. It does erase morality and conscience in the moment. But his lack of conscience appears to be something he did own and continues to own without needing help. He was a dealer on the outside, and dealing on the...

Thanks for the response, MM :). I wanted to write down what I saw in a flash of apparent simplicity before it turned muddy again. I had not thought about all the evidence and theories for a few months, so my mind was in a somewhat blank slate mode as I listened to the judge talk about his...

It caught my eye for sure. I agree in part and in part not. We can't be sure he is not just now picking up this habit as the jailhouse way to live, and/or it may have been to sell, as he was charged with attempting to deal. I would bet bet that he is not a crack addict as in regular and...

MM, thanks for alerting me. I had not looked at Maui News. Wow, those eyes. Looks like a lot of "ice" flowed under that bridge. So she was arrested Thursday and arraigned Friday and is in jail until she makes 100K bail. I can see why she did not speak for him. Unreal that he was arraigned...

I apologize for raising this old issue, of where she might be, but I had an image pop into my head after hearing yesterday's proceedings, specifically what Cardoza said. I think maybe it was as "simple" as him putting her into the stream (which has been said before) to be washed away. I...

Well said, MM. Robert Scott said that one attorney sort of apologized to him one day in the hall, saying it was just his job and nothing personal. I'm guessing that was Nardi.

Kim made pointed remarks alluding to prison shower rape and violence that Steven needs to worry about when he goes to prison, and I think it was Adam who talked to him about the horrors of real prison that won't be cushy like Maui Correctional. Both have given up on him feeling remorse, ever...

The defense team has petitioned to withdraw from the case. Looks like the appeal they announced won't be handled by them. Then Cardoza said they have to do the minimum sentence hearing in early May, because they know the case the best. Good, they get to hear from the family again.

I hadn't seen the Maui Now account when I wrote my overview of what happened. They covered it well. They didn't mention that after Cardoza said he had to go with life sentence with possibility of parole, and could not find for the enhanced sentencing, that he would recommend to the Hawaii...

HGO, this link works now, but it's labeled as a test live stream, so if it breaks when archived, just check the Akaka Community Media YouTube page for the 3/24 video. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xMJiNT3zn8c

I would wholeheartedly say to anyone who has followed to listen to the whole proceedings today. Parts were deeply satisfying to me. Steven was thoroughly analyzed and told off by the judge, Rivera, and Charli's family. No one from his his family appeared to speak for him. Apo got to say...

Just now tuning in, judge not in courtroom at this time, not sure what I missed, live streaming only link I saw. Fingers crossed!

Even more old business, SC's drug dealing charge from 2013, for which he pleaded No Contest with one year probation and a fine, and which shows as a closed and adjudicated case, has still been having court dates, mostly without SC present, since 2014, and another hearing is set for April 20 --...

Last minute change. No hearing tomorrow. Another pre-trial conference is now set for April 20. He signed another waiver of right to speedy trial for both the burglary-theft and the deadly weapon cases. In the theft case as well there has been a change to the Counts, but it doesn't say what...

Thanks for the bump. I just rechecked on the sentencing for the murder and it is still set for this Friday. There is also a motion to be heard, but the online entry doesn't say what it concerns. Court is scheduled for 8:30 AM. The weapons charge is now set for trial on May 1. it says the...

When the tall juror does not sit And says the bloody jeans would fit You must NOT acquit.

Right, we did not on video, but some on this forum attended in person. Not wanting to be nosy about jurors' identity, just wondering if she stood out or showed emotions.

I believe at any time after the verdict. Defense attorneys talked to them, it became known today. Rivera said it was improper because the court had not given the OK, but Apo said it was OK, and the judge said nothing about the defense acting improperly, so it would seem it was allowable. Does...
