WAILUKU — A 2nd Circuit Court judge on Monday dismissed a case against a 91-year-old Kula man who was charged in connection with a fatal crash in 2016 that killed a 30-year-old woman.
Judge Richard Bissen granted a motion by defense attorney Myles Breiner to dismiss the case against James Shishido, who had been driving a 1998 Ford Explorer that hit Destiny Delima of Paia around 8 p.m. on Nov. 25, 2016. Delima had been walking in the area of Pulehu Road in Kahului.
Doctors had found Shishido mentally unfit for court proceedings because of dementia. Bissen granted the defense’s motion to dismiss the case because of Shishido’s illness.
