Judge Allows Case Against HPD Officers In Sykap Shooting To Move Forward
Attorneys for the three officers argued that the case should be dismissed because a grand jury declined to indict them. Reading time: 4 minutes.
A judge denied two motions in the criminal case against three Honolulu Police Department officers in the April shooting death of 16-year-old Iremamber Sykap, which set off a charged debate about violent police encounters and led to the rare indictments.
Judge William Domingo denied the officers’ motion to dismiss the case and another request to disqualify Deputy Prosecutor Christopher Van Marter. Domingo heard arguments from Van Marter and three defense attorneys for about 90 minutes before coming to a decision.
