Agent gears up for 2nd murder trial in Honolulu

State Department Special Agent Christopher Deedy of Arlington, Virginia, is back in Honolulu to stand trial again for killing Kollin Elderts during an altercation in a McDonald’s restaurant. Deedy contends the shooting was self-defense. Free on $250,000 bail, he returned home after the first trial.
