During the past five years, our...Professor Brenner,<br />During the past five years, our office has charged, and obtained convictions, in more than 50 cases involving subsection (1)(a) of Hawaii Revised Statutes Section 708-893. I prosecuted almost all of those cases, including the Calucag case that you referenced. Subsection (1)(a) is charged when a computer is used as an instrument to commit theft. When the underlying theft dollar loss exceeds $20,000, the "use of a computer" offense becomes a non-probationable Class "A" felony which carries an automatic indeterminate 20 year prison term.<br />Chris Van Marter<br />Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney<br />Chief - White Collar Crime Unit<br />Honolulu Prosecutor's OfficeChris Van Marterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18378246020029354390noreply@blogger.com
