Trial in 2014 death of Maui pregnant woman underway
WAILUKU, Maui (AP) — The trial for a man charged with the death of his pregnant ex-girlfriend on Maui in 2014 has begun with the prosecution arguing that the defendant was the last person to see the woman alive.
Jury selection began Monday in the trial for 26-year-old Steven Capobianco. He is charged with second-degree murder in Carly “Charli” Scott’s death and second-degree arson for setting her vehicle on fire.
First Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Robert Rivera argued Capobianco was with Scott the night of Feb. 9, 2014, in a remote area in east Maui, where parts of her body and blood-stained clothing were discovered days later.
Capobianco’s attorney maintains his client was charged without significant effort by police to find “the real killer.”
4 taken to hospital after school bus, SUV collision
HONOLULU (AP) — Officials say an SUV and a school bus carrying elementary schoolchildren collided near Kamehameha Highway in Kaaawa. Three students and the driver of the other vehicle were taken to the hospital.
The school bus was carrying about 30 elementary students and adult chaperones when the accident happened just after 7 p.m. Tuesday. Honolulu Fire Department Capt. David Jenkins says three girls, all about 10 years old, were treated at the site and taken by emergency personnel to a hospital.
Jenkins says the woman driving the SUV had to be extricated from the vehicle after being pinned. He says she was stabilized and taken to a hospital.
Groups move to protect historic moorings at Pearl Harbor
HONOLULU (AP) — The National Park Service and the nonprofit group Pacific Historic Parks are launching an effort to preserve the battleship moorings at Pearl Harbor.
This series of concrete quays lining Battleship Row next to Ford Island in Pearl Harbor are what the USS Arizona, USS Oklahoma and other Pearl Harbor battleships were attached to when Japanese planes attacked the naval base Dec. 7, 1941.
Partners in Preservation started a fundraising campaign Wednesday to support the effort. Partners in Preservation is an initiative created by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and American Express to preserve historic places in the U.S.
