The HDOh is going to break laws before they will allow “information” to be public. We’ll get “information” when we take it out of their cold dead hands (figuratively speaking).
Why do you think they’re refusing to obey UIPA and disclose Virginia’s original birth certificate to Duncan? What possible reason could they have?
It did puzzle me. My current guess is that someone at DOH back in 1961 didn't do their job, and they didn't actually create the document. They may have created a space for it, but they probably found out the child died and just didn't bother completing it.
Obviously Hawaii wouldn't want anyone to question the competence or integrity of their record keeping, so I can understand why they wouldn't want this malfeasance exposed. A court should not let them get away with it though.
