Seriously Judge Derrick Chan in our opinion misjudged and acted with bias, prejudice, against our case during our evidentiary hearing. During the hearing he would not allow ANY of our crucial prima faci evidence to be admitted during our father’s probate fraud case. Neither the medical forensics showing our dad was 100% incapacitated during the signing of his last will and trust just weeks before he died and only days before he fell into a coma. Also Judge Chan would not allow our evidence by forensics expert Reed Hayes reflecting the signatures on the 1st Amendment signed in California were forged. Even our stepmother admitted she did not co-sign the document. And Judge Chan just sat there listening to us plead our case. For two days we went through this joke of a hearing. And when it came to preparing HIS finding of Facts and Conclusions of Law based on what we submitted and what Jim Ashford and Rhonda Griswold of Cades Shutte submitted, our filing was mysteriously lost for a month. THEN after it was found, Judge Chan signed the papers prepared by Cades Shutte……..essentially granting their motion to have the case dismissed. Judge Chan is in my opinion lazy, incompetent, and biased, and certainly not a man you would want on the Hawaii State Supreme Court. My father was an attorney, I worked for attorneys, and i know how the games are played. If you care to discuss this please call me at (760) 413-5660. Our fight isn’t over.
