Description
Following a jury trial, defendant-appellant Paul K. Kupihea, Jr. was convicted of Second Degree Murder, in violation of Hawai'i Revised Statutes (HRS) § 707-701.5(1) (1993),*fn1 and Possession of Firearm By A Person Convicted of Certain Crimes, and Possession of Ammunition By A Person Convicted of Certain Crimes, in violation of HRS § 134-7 (Supp. 1992).*fn2 On appeal, Kupihea contends that: (1) the trial court erroneously accepted a defense witness' assertion of his fifth amendment privilege against self-incrimination; (2) the trial court erred in refusing to allow introduction of evidence of the amount of cash found on the victim's person; and (3) the prosecution's use of hypotheticals and misstatement of the law during its closing argument denied him a fair trial. We disagree and affirm.
