Heading: On Remand Of Count I, Quitog May Be Retried For Lesser Offenses Included Within Attempted Second Degree Murder.

Text: We have recently emphasized on several occasions that remanding the case for retrial on lesser included offenses [28] offends neither the fifth amendment to the United States Constitution nor article I, section 10 of the Hawai`i Constitution. Wallace, 80 Hawai`i at 414, 910 P.2d at 727 (citing State v. Malufau, 80 Hawai`i 126, 136, 906 P.2d 612, 622 (1995)); see also Loa, 83 Hawai`i at 361 n. 20, 926 P.2d at 1284 n. 20. We therefore hold that article I, section 10 does not foreclose the prosecution from retrying Quitog for any lesser offenses included within attempted second degree murder, as charged in Count I.
