A Maui jury has decided the man convicted of killing police officer Suzanne O can be locked up for life with no chance of parole, a hard outcome for the defendant and a measure of closure for the officer's family and fellow police.

• The jury found that Clambert Eli Kane Holani should get extended prison terms to protect the public.
• He was convicted last week of first-degree murder, reckless endangering, and several gun charges.
• Officer O was killed on duty last year while responding to a threat call at the Pā Sugar Mill.
• The extended-term finding is what removes parole from the table, not just the murder conviction itself.

Outlook: Sentencing is set for December 18th, when the judge decides whether to impose life without parole.
