Description
The question on appeal is whether an indictment for manslaughter was properly dismissed with prejudice following two hung jury mistrials on the charge. Appellant State of Hawaii ("State") argues that constitutional principles of double jeopardy posed no bar to further prosecution, and that the trial court abused what the State agrees was the court's inherent power to preclude further prosecution in such circumstances. While the double jeopardy proscriptions of our federal and state constitutions did not themselves bar continued prosecution, we affirm because we do not view the trial court's action to have been an unjustified exercise of implicit powers.
