Whether the ICA gravely erred in failing to recognize Stephen Paulmier's constitutional rights to due-process,jury-trial
QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether the ICA gravely erred in failing to recognize Stephen Paulmier’s constitutional rights to due process and/or find his waiver of a jury trial was invalid because he was not informed in a knowing, voluntary or intelligent manner that a bench trial was not held on continuous days like a jury trial, that it could be continued indefinitely day-by-day depending on the schedules of State Prosecutor the Family Court, such that without advance notice or warning, Defendant would be subject to a four-day trial over a seven-month time period? 2. Do the Hawaii Family Court Rules provide for separate trial calendar apart from the regularly clogged court calendar? 3. Does a Defendant who waives his right to a jury trial have the same due process constitutional right to consecutive trial days as a jury trial Defendant?
