104: Sentenced to Death in Hawaii
Manage episode 430636000 series 2892588
On this episode of Common Mystics Jen and Jill explore a historic murder on the island of Kauai, Hawaii.* In 1897, Dr. Jared K. Smith was ambushed and shot at his home in Koloa, sparking outrage within the community. Who could commit such a heinous act? Investigators soon uncovered a family of suspects and a motive tied to Hawaii’s leprosy isolation laws. The ensuing Kapea Trial became a symbol of a society in flux, where Western legal principles clashed with Native Hawaiian political power and cultural traditions. The outcome was nothing short of tragic.
