Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - February 19, 2010

FROM THE VISIONARY RADIO NEWS CENTER, I'M JEFF KING WITH MAUI TV NEWS.

THERE WILL BE NO NEW TRIAL FOR A MAUI MAN CONVICTED IN THE 1995 STABBING DEATH OF VILMAR CABBACANG. TARYN CHRISTIAN RAN FROM THE MAN AFTER TRYING TO BREAK INTO HIS CAR, THEN TURNED AND STABBED HIM TO DEATH WITH A DOUBLE-EDGED-KNIFE. CHRISTIAN WAS CONVICTED IN 1997 - BUT THAT CONVICTION WAS REEXAMINED AFTER IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE DEFENSE HAD NOT BEEN ALLOWED TO CALL MORE WITNESSES. THE CASE WENT TO THE HAWAII STATE SUPREME COURT, THEN TO THE NINTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS WHO STUCK BY THE ORIGINAL RULING. CHRISTIAN IS SERVING A FORTY YEAR SENTENCE FOR THE SLAYING.

IN NEWS FROM THE STATE CAPITOL, THE POSSIBLE ONE PENNY RISE IN GENERAL EXCISE TAX IS STILL UNDECIDED. LOCALLY, THOUGH, LAWMAKERS HAVE DECIDED TO WAIT UNTIL THEY'VE TACKLED BIGGER ISSUES BEFORE THEY RETURN TO A POSSIBLE HAND-HELD CELL-PHONE BAN IN MAUI COUNTY.

ISLAND WEATHER, TONIGHT, PARTLY CLOUDY WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS AND COOL WITH LOWS ONLY IN THE UPPER 50S. TOMORROW, MOSTLY SUNNY WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S.

FROM THE VISIONARY RADIO NEWS CENTER FOR MAUI TV NEWS, I'M JEFF KING.
