Well, this verdict is typical, and not just to Hawai'i...i'd like to know how thick the envelope is that judge del rosario received in exchange for his participation in this fraud on the citizenry...maybe it's time some competent individual filed some commercial liens on HIS personal assets, as well as an action stripping him of his judicial immunity, for his blatant role in facilitating such government chicanery via his pirateship/courtroom.

did anybody listen to the part of the trial when the county guy read the written rules on using the pcard? which stated it was alright to buy food and alcohol? the prosecutors case was toast after that was read in court.
bold by me...just who in the hell do you think runs this state? and these folks have run it for a while...

I'm thinking of shoplifting something from a store and then try to pay for the item after I'm caught. When questioned, I'll just say Mr. Kenoi, our island leader can do it. Can't I?

This is food for thought for all the idiots that think he wasn't guilty and the verdict is a just decision:
Why did Mr. Kenoi lie, and say he did not own his own credit card when confronted for the liquor charges? Why did he lie unless he was trying to cover something up that he knew he wasn't supposed do. Why did this grease ball reach for his P-card instead of his own credit card. Infuriates me what a disgusting pig we have representing us.

Sorry, but it's wrong to spend tax payers money on booze, parties, bicycles, hookers and such. Then wait 284 days when you get wind of the media accessing your p card records, and THEN, and only then, to start paying it back. I suppose, apart from being illegal, each of us has to decide in our own inner system of right and wrong. In my system it is wrong, has always been wrong, and always will be wrong. But, this was a jury trial decided by Hawaii citizens. So, he gets a pass on this. I know the difference of what's right and wrong. But, my code of ethics doesn't matter. Unless I was on that jury.

I am glad the jury saw through the theatrics and exonerated Billy.
It was a white collar crime.
The pCard rules and exemptions are written by white collar lawyers to allow a way out of the rules if necessary.
The jury was shown the terminology created by, and for the sole use of white collar defendants, who are not criminals because the lawyers said so when writing the rules, and while defending the rules.

Sorry, the white collar lawyers didn't write up an exception for you, because if you're stealing from a store, you're probably not white collar. If you were, you'd steal properly, by using the exemption included with your pCard, or corporate credit card usage regulations.

They could impose better regulations for pcard use.
Like only allowing point specific purchases. And any other purchases should be required to be paid off by the cardholder. Period.
But in essence the system kinda worked.
The purchases in question were caught.
He wasn't found guilty because there wasn't criminal intent.
Like I said in the other thread.
Told you so.

BWAH HA HA HA!
Our little 3rd world backwater of corruption continues merrily down the stream. Row, row, row, Kenoi as life is but a dream.

Maybe the old line that you can't legislate morality could be riffed here to read: "You can't judiciate morality."
