Alexander Silvert is Retired Federal Public Defender in the State of Hawaii. He is the author of the “Mail Box Conspiracy”, and is writing another book.
He will discuss bribery law spanning from the Kaneshiro trial to current indictment in state court against Lt Governor Sylvia Luke et al, to understand the differences between federal and state law and why/how it came to be that the Attorney General is prosecuting this case, not the Feds. He will also discuss different aspects of the current state prosecution, including what happens next in the trial process and what can be expected.
