Suit claims James Borling-Salas gave Honolulu police information about the alleged murder-for-hire of Jonathan Fraser.

The attorneys cite the complexity of the case. If granted, the motion would mean a trial two years later than the original date.

Prosecutors have now lined up at least nine people linked to alleged crime boss Mike Miske as cooperating witnesses.

New developments this week in the complex criminal case against what's alleged to be a large criminal enterprise operating in Honolulu.

Hearings are set this week on motions to reconsider the judge's prior decision favoring continued detention.

Mike Miske faces four charges related to murder, kidnapping and racketeering that could have resulted in capital punishment.

The kingpin's daughter-in-law was named as a defendant, along with a business associate alleged to have bought a large fish bag to dispose of a body at sea.

Norman Akau pleaded guilty to taking part in the Miske organization last month. Another union member says coworkers plotted with Miske to kill him after a falling out.

A co-defendant described a new twist in the prosecution of the Honolulu businessman -- an alleged murder attempt on a local union leader.

The charges filed last week against Tricia Ann Castro were the first to target a professional accused of aiding the Honolulu business owner in concealing his alleged criminal activities.
