Description
Defendant-appellant Segundo B. Matias (Matias) was charged with murder in the second degree for the shooting death of Lee Ann Kauhane (Kauhane). At trial, Matias argued that he was at most guilty of manslaughter because at the time he shot and killed Kauhane he was under the influence of an extreme emotional disturbance for which there was a reasonable explanation. Plaintiff-appellee State of Hawaii (State) argued that Matias was not under the influence of extreme emotion at the time of the crime and introduced the expert testimony of Harold Hall, Ph.D. (Dr. Hall) to rebut the testimony of Matias' expert witness on this issue. Matias was convicted of murder in the second degree.
