A defense attorney wants the Hawaii Supreme Court to review whether city prosecutors have been violating federal law requiring them to reveal bad behavior.

The U.S. Department of Justice appears to be gaining steam in its investigation of Honolulu’s police chief and his wife for alleged corruption and abuse of power.

Former prosecutor Loretta Sheehan says public debate about police misconduct is necessary and healthy.

City Council is being asked to approve hiring three law firms to defend the city and the ethics commission in the Kealoha case.

The public defender who instigated a federal probe says he doesn’t trust the Honolulu Police Commission to investigate the matter on its own.

Targets of a federal corruption probe, the Honolulu police chief and his prosecutor wife struggle to win the battle of public perception.

But it wasn’t unanimous, as City Councilman Trevor Ozawa questioned and criticized the nominee, then voted against her.

Charles Djou and Peter Carlisle say the mayor should ask the police chief to step aside during a federal corruption investigation.

The City Council votes next week on an $80,000 settlement after two women were arrested by an officer who allegedly berated them for kissing in public.

Records in a lawsuit by Chief Louis Kealoha and his wife against the city ethics commission shed light on alleged abuses of power by the couple.
