An Oahu judge will hear the theft case of Hawaii County Mayor Billy Kenoi.
The state Judiciary announced Tuesday that state Chief Justice Mark Recktenwald has temporarily re-assigned Honolulu Circuit Judge Dexter Del Rosario to preside over the trial of the county’s chief executive, who was indicted March 23 by a Hilo grand jury on two counts each of second- and third-degree theft, three counts of tampering with a government record, and a single count of making a false statement under oath.

Kenoi, who has pleaded not guilty to all charges, has a July 18 court date in Hilo.
