State v. Fukagawa (Dissenting Opinion by J. Ramil)

DISSENTING OPINION BY RAMIL, J.

This case is another example of why we should overrule State v. Viernes, 92 Hawai`i 130, 988 P.2d 195 (1999). For the reasons discussed in State v. Carmichael, 99 Hawai`i 75, 53 P.3d 214 (2002), I respectfully dissent.
