Interesting, Deputy Corporation Counsel Traci Morita calls Mr. Seiiz attempts at discovery sensationalizing defects that the he claims to have found in the Honolulu Police Department's review of Haleck's death.   That seems to be a left handed, unintentional admission by Ms. Morita that the HPD found something that is worth probing.  The Chief of Police has a sidekick.  Yes, the Deputy Chief of Police may take the place of the Chief.  But Traci, be careful with what you end up with.   The "sidekick" may be more informative than the Chief and may be required to divulged other matters under oath while being deposed.  It could get personal.  I would let Seitz's depose the Chief.  Keep the sidekick out.  Just makes sense.  See Traci, the sidekick may reveal systemic ongoing breaches of protocol within HPD.  There's Mr. Haleck's case.  Systemic deficiencies..at the top lead to a classification of homicide at the bottom.   The Deputy knows more about the bottom because she is under the Chief
