Honolulu Prosecutor: Sykap Case Is ‘No Perry Mason Moment’
The Honolulu Prosecutor’s Office says it’s on solid legal ground to bring charges against three HPD officers even though a grand jury refused to indict them. Reading time: 5 minutes.
The Honolulu Prosecutor’s Office properly brought murder and attempted murder charges against three officers involved in the fatal shooting of Iremamber Sykap even without securing indictments from a grand jury, the office argued in court documents Thursday.
Geoffrey Thom faces second-degree murder charges for shooting Sykap eight times in the back. Zachary Ah Nee and Christopher Fredeluces both face attempted murder charges for shooting into the sedan driven by Sykap.
