State v. Kaua |
 | | On appeal, Kaua's sole point of error is that the circuit court erred in denying his motion for correction of illegal sentence, based on the United States Supreme Court's decision in Apprendi v. |
| | With respect to Counts V-VII, the jury found that Kaua voluntarily released the hostage taken during the subject incident in a safe place prior to trial, thereby reducing the offense of kidnapping from a class A felony to a class B felony, pursuant to HRS § 707-720(3) (1993). |
| | First, at the hearing on the prosecution's motion for extended terms of imprisonment, Kaua stipulated to the fact that he was a "multiple offender," for purposes of HRS § 706-662(4)(a), thereby conceding that he had satisfied the first step of the Huelsman two-step process for the imposition of an extended term sentence. |
