NO. 26651
Emi Oyamada (Defendant) appeals the June 24, 2004 judgment of the District Court of the First Circuit (district court) (1) that convicted her of disorderly conduct.
After a meticulous review of the record and the briefs submitted by the parties, and giving careful consideration to the arguments advanced and the issues raised by the parties, we reverse, because there was not sufficient evidence to convict Defendant under Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) § 711-1101(1)(a) (1993 & Supp. 2004), Commentary on § 711-1101; State v.
