Felony charges dropped for 6 of 7 defendants in Iolani Palace takeover


Breaking news from the Advertiser:
Felony charges against six of seven defendants charged in last year's takeover of Iolani Palace were thrown out of court this morning.

Circuit Judge Richard Pollack ruled the state had insufficient evidence to sustain second-degree burglary charges against any of the defendants except James Akahi, leader of the group Free Hawaii.

Pollack dismissed burglary charges against the remaining defendants, although the six still face petty misdemeanor trespassing charges.
