Bryant Paul: "Bank Robbery is also a federal violation but it is most often investigated by the local police and tried in State Courts." I stop practicing law in 1986 but back then bank robbery cases were tried in federal courts, at least that is what I recall from the only bank robbery case I tried. The case was investigated by the FBI and the US Attorney handled the prosecution. As for Chief Kealoha, I thought it was strange that his attorney announced publicly that the Kealohas would be indicted. If nothing else, that gave the commission a basis for interviewing the chief and putting him on administrative leave with pay.
