A former high-ranking city prosecutor once took a photo with a line of cocaine on the desk of her husband, then-Honolulu Police Chief Louis Kealoha, according to court documents filed in preparation of a drug-dealing trial against her pain physician brother.
Dr. Rudolph Puana s trial was scheduled for September, but lawyers on the case agreed Wednesday to postpone it to December because of concerns that jurors would have to wear masks. Is it unclear when Hawaiʻi will lift its indoor mask mandate, which remains in place to protect against the spread of the coronavirus.
Clint Broden, Puana s attorney, said in an email after the hearing that while he supports state-issued mask mandates, most federal courts are allowing face shields during the jury selection process because “facial expressions are so important” in putting together a fair panel.
