Ex-U.S. soldier guilty of killing his child in rare capital case in Hawaii  Thursday, Apr 24, 2014 04:17 PM PDT By Malia Mattoch McManus HONOLULU (Reuters) - A Honolulu jury found former U.S. Army soldier Naeem Williams guilty on Thursday of killing his 5-year-old daughter Talia in the first death penalty case since Hawaii was granted statehood over a half a century ago, a courtroom witness said. Hawaii abolished the death penalty before becoming a U.S. state in 1959, but because the crime occurred at Williams' home on a U.S. military base, federal law allowed prosecutors to pursue a capital case, the first since statehood. His defense attorney, John Philipsborn, had argued that the prosecution could not claim both charges against his client, and that it could have been the abuse perpetrated by Williams' wife, Delilah, that caused the child's death. Delilah Williams, the girl's stepmother, testified to the pattern of abuse she and her husband inflicted on Talia. Full Story	Top
