Federal Judge Postpones Sentencing Of The Kealohas For Two Weeks

The Kealohas and the police officers who were convicted of conspiracy and obstruction charges alongside them will get two more weeks to prepare for their sentencing hearings.

A federal judge granted Katherine Kealoha, a former deputy city prosecutor, and her husband, ex-Honolulu Police Chief Louis Kealoha, and his former employees, Derek Hahn and Minh-Hung “Bobby” Nguyen, continuances at a hearing Thursday.

They were convicted in June for trying to frame Gerard Puana, Katherine Kealoha’s uncle, for the theft of the Kealohas’ mailbox from their Kahala home in June 2013.

While he granted two more weeks, U.S. District Court Judge J. Michael Seabright denied Louis Kealoha’s motion to consolidate the sentencing for the trial he was already convicted in and another one that may be coming up in January involving bank fraud and identity theft charges should he be convicted in that one as well.
