Description
Defendant Sione Hamala (Hamala) argues in this interlocutory appeal prior to retrial for Second Degree Murder, Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) § 707-701.5 (Supp. 1987), and of Carrying a Firearm on Person Without Permit or License, HRS § 134-9 (1985), that the court erred in denying his motion to dismiss the charges against him on the grounds that the Double Jeopardy Clauses of the United States Constitution and the Hawaii State Constitution bar retrial. Hamala contends that the State elicited improper and prejudicial testimony in his first trial with the intent of provoking a mistrial, that this resulted in reversal on appeal, and that, therefore, a second trial is now barred.
