Entitled to Kill

Preparing for the 2011 APEC meeting in Honolulu, Federal Agent Christopher Deedy had a night off. After drinking with friends, the night ended badly in the early morning hours, when perhaps over-eager Deedy executed a local man inside a Waikiki McDonalds restaurant.




Deedy is on trial for murder.

The Hawaii tragedy continues ...
