A Circuit Court judge ordered that Beverly Shimabukuro, the 85-year-old Liliha woman charged with first-degree arson, be transferred to the Hawaii State Hospital from the Oahu Community Correctional Center, where she has spent the past 12 days.
Beverly Shimabukuro, 85, was arrested after she was overheard telling an Emergency Medical Services supervisor that she lit a small pile of items on fire in her closet.
Brandy and Thomas Blas and Debra Geron appeared at their arraignment and plea hearing Thursday via video conference. All three pled not guilty for the murder of 10-year-old Geanna Bradley.
The 40-year-old was on trial for first-degree attempted murder in the Feb. 16 attack on a police officer in Laie, but an Oahu Circuit Court jury found him guilty Friday of the lesser crime of first-degree assault.
Four Oahu Community Correctional Center inmates were indicted Wednesday on the charge of manslaughter in the 2020 beating death of fellow inmate Christopher Vaefaga, 36.
