A newly appointed, taxpayer-funded attorney representing Kealoha wants to delay her trial on bank fraud and identity theft charges. Gary Singh was appointed to represent Kealoha after her former taxpayer-funded attorney Cynthia Kagiwada asked to withdraw from the case, citing a breakdown in the attorney-client relationship. At a hearing Thursday, July 18, Singh said he needs more time and sought a delay until January. (AP Photo/Caleb Jones, File) The Associated Press
