Description
Liuafi Liuafi, Jr., (hereinafter Liuafi) appeals from a conviction of attempted murder, in violation of Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) §§ 705-500 (1976) and 707-701 (1976), and of failure to render assistance, in violation of HRS § 291C-12 (1976). He alleges that (1) the trial court committed reversible error in not allowing defense counsel to cross-examine the complaining witness regarding a possible civil suit against Liuafi; (2) the trial court erred in admitting into evidence the results of a breath test without a proper foundation; (3) the trial court erred in finding that Liuafi had waived his rights to counsel and to remain silent; (4) it was unconstitutional to prosecute Liuafi for failure to render assistance; (5) it was error to convict Liuafi of both offenses; and (6) it was error not to instruct the jury on state of mind as an element of the offense of failure to render assistance.
