If there was a death within their jurisdiction, HRS 841-3 applied and Chief Faaumu would not be able to claim that it was not in effect. Reqardless of what other help they received in conductinq an investiqation. The responsibility for the investiqation was still theirs if there was within their jurisdiction a death unattended by a doctor.
A lot of inconsistent stuff here, on the part of the investigators. And hairsplitting re whose jurisdiction.
But there’s a big issue they should have looked at, the last guy that saw Fuddy alive was her deputy, Yamamoto.
They didn’t interview him and get a sworn statement?
And if it didn’t agree with other info, they didn’t pursue it?
Something really rotten in the state of Hawaii...
