As such, all discussions between Peters and Aipa should have remained confidential. Stone's lawyer, John Edmunds, added that senior Deputy Attorney General Lawrence Goya improperly introduced Aipa's testimony because the statute of limitations on the criminal charges against Stone and Peters was running out. The taint is there. But Goya argued that the attorney-client privilege no longer exists with Peters. After the probate court temporarily removed Peters and appointed interim trustees to take over the daily operations of the Bishop Estate in May, the new board waived any attorney-client privileges involving the Kalele Kai deal.
Closing arguments resume tomorrow.
