A Maui jury is now weighing whether Clembert "Ali'i" Kaneholani murdered police officer Suzanne O, a case that could end in life in prison without parole.

• Jurors began deliberating after closing arguments in Wailuku; Kaneholani did not testify.
• Prosecutors leaned on his own recorded jail phone calls, in which he boasted about the shooting, as the strongest evidence against him.
• The defense called it an accident, said the gun was homemade and prone to malfunction, and blamed officers for not following protocol.
• The defense also argued the jail calls were just bragging; prosecutors countered that the calls went to family, not fellow inmates.
• This is the first Maui County trial under Hawaii's first-degree murder law covering police officers, judges, and prosecutors.

Outlook: A verdict could come at any time, and a conviction on all six counts would mean life without parole.
