Description
In 1990, defendants-appellants Glenn Nakata, Alvin Lau, and Eddie Daoang (collectively, the defendants) each requested a jury trial in their individual case on the charge of first-offense driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor (DUI), in violation of Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) § 291-4 (1985). Subsequently, the Hawaii State Legislature enacted Act 128, 1993 Haw. Sess. Laws 179 (Act 128), which amended the DUI statute by lowering the penalties for a first offense, with the intent of eliminating the right to a jury trial for a first-offense DUI charge. Act 128 also provided for retroactive application to all pending first-offense DUI cases.
