Description
The defendant-appellant Brett Matthew Hoey appeals his convictions of robbery in the first degree and kidnapping following a jury trial in the Circuit Court of the First Circuit Court, State of Hawaii. Hoey urges the following points of error on appeal: (1) that the trial court erroneously denied his motion to dismiss the charges against him because his trial was not timely commenced as required by Hawaii Rules of Penal Procedure (HRPP) 48;*fn1 (2) that the trial court erroneously admitted a redacted version of his tape-recorded confession to the police into evidence despite the fact, inter alia, that he had not voluntarily, knowingly, and intelligently waived his right to counsel; and (3) that the trial court erroneously refused to instruct the jury regarding the possibility that the kidnapping and robbery counts of the complaint had merged, in which case he could be convicted at most of the robbery offense.
