Tommy:

You have my full support. Police and private citizens with money and influence are behind thug behavior by police all the time. If you or anyone else was assaulted by a police officer, the officer needs to do prison time. That is what Prosecuting Attorney John Kim should spend his time on.

Here on Kauai, I was on the public radio station in 2010 discussing beach access on a trail claimed by the state which runs through three shorefront parcels. DLNR's Curt Cottrell sent the landowner, Patricia Hanwright, a letter, saying the state claims the trail. I did not encourage people to tresspass on the land, even though the state claims the trail. However, for even mentioning the trail on air, the attorney for Hanwright, Laura Barzilai, sent the following email to the radio station which intends to curb free speech rights of me and anyone else who discusses the trail. Barzilai said she would contact the Kauai Police, essentially saying I would be arrested. I reviewed the tape and I never said anything incorrect or illegal. Barzilai and her client Hanwright are hoping they can intimidate me with that letter and curb my free speech rights, just like the Maui prosecutor is trying to do to you. They failed, and John Kim will fail too. I have never been arrested or sued and the KPD do know how to contact me.

Aloha Jerry,
Thank you for taking my call regarding the issue involving Hope and Richard Spacer. As I said, I wanted to advise KKCR that it was reported to me by my client and her neighbors that on or about July 14, 2010, Hope and Richard Spacer were guests on the Blue Grass Radio Show, during which time they instructed listeners to commit the crime of trespass upon my client’s private property on non-existent trails southeast of Larsen’s Beach. Any and all trespassers found on my client’s property will be immediately reported to the Kauai Police Department and prosecution will be pursued. We now intend to report Mr. and Mrs. Spacer’s instructions to the police. Thank you for following up with your on-air programmers regarding this issue, and thank you again for your attention.
