Because not only does Judge Kubota decide that Hawaii PD needs to turn over the evidence, but he also doesn't believe the Hawaii Innocence Project needs to keep whatever information they get private. The public deserves the visibility.

During his hearing, Judge Kubota questioned Elizabeth Britt Bailey, who is the Deputy Corporation Counsel of Hawaii County, wanting to better understand exactly what is going on behind the scenes with the Hawaii PD. What is their goal? Albert Laurel Jr. is dead. What possible ongoing investigation is there?

Judge Kubota says during the hearing, quote, these guys were convicted 23 years ago, and they're seeking a determination of actual innocence. And in my view, justice delayed at your behest is justice denied. I'm Amanda Knox, and this is Three. Chapter 10, Justice.
