A mistrial has been declared in the case of a former Halawa prison officer accused of causing the death of an inmate nearly five years ago. Circuit Judge Sandra Simms dismissed the jury February 28 after members reported they could not reach a unanimous decision and that additional time would not help. The jury had been deliberating for nearly two days. A new trial is scheduled for June 2nd for 37 year-old Brian Freitas, who is charged with reckless manslaughter for slamming the head of Antonio Revera onto a concrete table at least three times on April 23rd, 1998, after the inmate had been sedated. The 27 year-old Revera had been involved earlier in a violent struggle with six corrections officers and bit the hand of a sergeant while being escorted to a special holding cell. |
