HI SCR75

Urges the federal government to release Roger Christie on bail pending trial for charges related to growing and distributing marijuana.

Notes that Christie, a Hawaii County resident, has been held in federal detention without trial since July 2010 and repeatedly denied bail on grounds of being a "danger to the community."

States that Christie has been denied his constitutional right to a speedy trial.

Characterizes Christie as a "gentle, peaceful person" who does not pose a danger to the community.

Requires certified copies of the resolution be sent to the Hawaii County Mayor, Hawaii County Council, U.S. Department of Justice, and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Hawaii.
