The Justice Department inquiry into Honolulu police corruption has lasted four years and resulted in numerous indictments. But Keith Kaneshiro isn’t talking.

A federal magistrate granted a request to postpone the trial because an undisclosed medical condition would hamper Katherine Kealoha’s ability to participate in her defense.

The federal magistrate scolded the prosecutor for claiming Katherine Kealoha had a history of “feigning serious illness.”

After retiring from full-time police work in 2011 after a 31-year career, he was working on a short-term contract giving road tests.

She and her husband, former Police Chief Louis Kealoha, face their first trial on bank fraud charges in November.

A court opinion in the Honolulu Police Commission’s Kealoha case would also affect the way public boards handle other high-profile staff departures.

The court ruled the city must pay for the defense of HPD officer Ming-Hung Nguyen because he was sued for actions “done in performance of duty.”

New court documents say the wife of the former Honolulu police chief and her lover worked together to hide their relationship from federal investigators.

A bill to create the board passed unanimously, but if the governor follows through on his intent-to-veto list, Hawaii will remain the only state without one.

Recently unsealed court documents point to a questionable link between a suspect in a drug case and the Honolulu prosecutor’s office.
