Killed in "hunting accident" by "friend" - suspected to be homicide over drug deal gone sour according to letter Gregory wrote his mother before his death.
Charge of murder against Molokai man is dismissed WAILUKU Maui District Judge Richard Komo yesterday dismissed charges against a Molokai man charged with murder for a shooting in Molokai's Halawa Valley Thursday. "It's tragic, a misfortune; a person is dead. But the circumstances at this point for the prosecution is that the evidence is inadequate even for the judgment of manslaughter," Komo said. '. Then he dismissed the charge against Michael Saul Tiemann, 25. He was charged with murder in the death of Gregory Levine, 24. who was shot to death about noon Thursday in Halawa Valley. The two reputedly had been close friends, living in Halawa Valley in a remote forested area. According to reports, the two men had been hunting when Tiemann allegedly shot Levine with a .38-caliber revolver. J In the hearing before Komo yesterday, Tiemann did not testify on how the shooting occurred. The only Evidence was the testimony of two police investigators. ; During the hearing, Deputy prosecutor John Tarn offered two charges against Tiemann. One was for murder, while the second was an alternative charge of manslaughter. The difference in the two charges was over whether Tiemann "intentionally or knowingly" shot Levine, for murder, or whether he "recklessly" shot the victim, for manslaughter. Defense attorney Tom Beck argued that neither term applied, based on the testimony of the two detectives. "If anything, the evidence presented today shows that it was a hunting accident," Beck said. In their testimony, the detectives said Tiemann had reported the shooting through the foreman of Puu 0 Hoku Ranch, Charlie Aipia. The shooting occurred on ranch land, and the ranch office is the first point at which a telephone would be available. According to Det. Gary Danley, Tiemann told Aipia and Molokai Police Sgt. Samuel Ellis that he shot Levine. Danley said that when Tiemann was asked what had happened, he would not answer. Det. George Lopes described the scene of the shooting and also said he orginally was told there had been an accident on Molokai. Questioned by Beck, he said there was no indication that the shooting was either intentional or "recklessly caused." Lopes' answers prompted Beck to move for dismissal of the charges. Tam, however, argued that "there may or may not be a case for murder, but there certainly is a case for manslaughter." He argued that the revolver must have been discharged "recklessly" and also pointed out that the victim was shot while on a roadway clear of any brush or shrubbery that would have hidden him from Tiemann. Based on the testimony he had heard, Komo said there was "no indication of the elements of the offense of murder, nor, for that matter, for manslaughter."
