In closing statements in the "mailbox trial," prosecutors said the case was never really about a mailbox but about why the five co-defendants would try to frame Gerard Puana with its theft.

They argued that the facts of the case showed how the Kealohas used their positions to exact retribution against their enemies, and how the three officers participated in the conspiracy.

"The motives in this case are greed, to maintain prestige and power. The chief of police and a prosecutor," said Prosecutor Joseph Orabona, in closing arguments.

This is like a fractal of the larger FBI coup attempt. People in power abusing that power for three own gain.

"The jury has reached a verdict and I respect the process and their decision. It's time to move on."

That's two sentences.
