Peters took issue with complaints that the state Supreme Court's selection of trustees may represent a conflict of interest. As spelled out in Bishop's will, the justices select trustees as individuals and not as representatives of the state Judiciary, he said. During the past 10 years, the state Supreme Court has heard some 15 cases involving the Bishop Estate and not once has the court sided with the estate, Peters added. Peters also responded to criticisms in an article in Saturday's Star-Bulletin by prominent members of Hawaii's native Hawaiian and legal communities. The article also singled out Peters for allegedly representing the buyers who purchased the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Virginia in 1995 from a partnership that included Bishop Estate.
Life goes on here in spite of the hysteria.
Bills have to be paid and Kamehameha Schools has to be managed.
