Mayor Backs Up Commission Over Mailbox Allegations

HONOLULU (AP) — Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell backed up the police commission's decision not to rush to investigate allegations of police misconduct raised in a case over the chief's stolen mailbox. The allegations arose in a federal trial of a man accused of stealing Chief Louis Kealoha's home mailbox. Puana's federal public defender, Alexander Silvert, has said his investigation in the case revealed misconduct and that Kealoha and his wife framed Puana to discredit him in a lawsuit. The commission's lack of an investigation into the mailbox allegations is troubling, said Meda Chesney-Lind, a criminologist who chairs the Women's Studies Program at the University of Hawaii.
