That's why all thieves not scared. First you have 50/50 chance of getting arrested then you have 50/50 chance of even being found guilty. God bless America

2 women and 10 man jury? Is that normal

[RS-cmgg]

She needs to go to jail for drugging him.

[stevec]

very odd and stupid that wine glasses get drug tested but not people

who does this dude know? guys been privileged from day one

[ecobeast]

nah, this shouldn't deter "REAL" SA victims ....

[Brudah-Man]

Never take girls u just met to your place. They be hella conniving.

[jonl]

Don't know how defense lawyers can sleep at night?!🫣🤫

[jasestrickland]

Whether he had been drugged or not, he’s not guilty? I guess this means she beat herself up. Man, that’s talent.

[stevec]

its not that they saw it the defense's way its more like reasonable doubt was planted

Now we will have less sexual assault victims come forward because these jurors! This is so sad and ridiculous it makes me sick! Just because drugs were found in his drink does not mean he was drugged, people abuse drugs this way as well. And the fact that evidence wasnt collected until 2 days after crime and tested 2 weeks later how is that not shady or tainted. This case was so shady and questionable from the beginning. I feel so bad for the real victim in this case.

It's pretty normal for Hawaii to let sexual assault go without punishment even if you have a bunch of evidence against that person.

[FF_AlohaEdition]

Local protecting local. Corruption at its finest.

[jonl]

"Remember that one...I was drugged!!" Was there any evidence of him being drugged and it's not self defense. It's like retailers, someone steals you just have to let them go, not beat them half to death

[jtabarejo]

Guess he'll never go back to hostess bars.

It doesnt matter what this uneven jury decided. That does not mean he is innocent. Just that this jury, for whatever reason, couldn't see that he was guilty. This is a warning to all women. Hawaii has not changed. Women are not believed.

[stanmuneoka]

This should be cut and dry convicted, what a travesty of justice. This guy got zway with rape and attempted murder. He gonna prey again . Hes a danger to society. Shame on kaneshiro defending him, he lnew he was guilty

[RossellaPerry]

Let's say she drugged him . What right does he have to rape her and beat her and severely wounding her ? She has been raped and beaten again by the justice system.
