Case Notes
Statements made by women constituted verbal acts and were admissible against defendant charged under subsection (1)(a). 59 H. 401, 581 P.2d 1171 (1978).
Section 701-109(1)(d) prohibits conviction under both this section and §842-2(2), as both this section and §842-2(2) seek to redress the same conduct--the control of an enterprise involved in criminal activity. In such case, this section, the specific statute, governs over the general statute, §842-2(2). 88 H. 19, 960 P.2d 1227 (1998).
