PROPOSED FORFEITURE JURY INSTRUCTION NO. 1

(Criminal Forfeiture Phase of Trial)
[To be read to the jury immediately after its return of a verdict of guilty on Count 1
of the Third Superseding Indictment, and prior to the commencement of the
forfeiture phase of trial.]
Members of the jury, your verdict in this case doesn’t complete your jury
service as it would in most cases, because there is another matter you must now
consider.
In a portion of the Third Superseding Indictment not previously discussed or
disclosed to you, and in the Bill of Particulars, it is alleged that certain property is
forfeitable to the United States due to its nexus to the Racketeering Conspiracy in
Count 1 of which the defendant was convicted.
To “forfeit” a thing is to be divested or deprived of the ownership of it as a
part of the punishment allowed by law for certain criminal offenses.
Here, the United States seeks to forfeit:
(1) The real property located at 6 Lumahai Street, Portlock,

Honolulu, Hawaii, and any rental income derived therefrom;
(2) The real property located at 614 Paokano Loop, Kailua, Hawaii;
(3) $611,123.60 constituting proceeds of the sale of the real

property located at 559 Kumukahi Place, Hawaii Kai,

The above property that the United States is seeking to forfeit will be listed
for you on a Special Verdict Form that I will give you before you retire to consider
your verdict.
As to the property for which the United States seeks forfeiture, you must
determine whether the Government has established the requisite nexus between the
property and the Racketeering Conspiracy in Count 1 of which the defendant was
convicted. In other words, you must determine whether that property is connected
to the underlying crime in the way that the statute provides.
In deciding these forfeiture issues you should consider all of the evidence
you have already heard during the trial plus the additional evidence, if any,
presented to you after these instructions.
AUTHORITY:
Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(b)(1)(A); (“As soon as practical after a verdict or finding of
guilty … on any count in an indictment . . . regarding which criminal forfeiture is
sought, the court shall determine what property is subject to forfeiture under the
applicable statute. If the government seeks forfeiture of specific property, the court
must determine whether the government has established the requisite nexus
between the property and the offense….”); Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(b)(1)(B) (“The
court’s [or jury’s] [forfeiture] determination may be based on evidence already in
the record … and on any additional evidence or information submitted by the
parties and accepted by the court as relevant and reliable.”); Fed. R. Crim. P.
32.2(b)(5)(A); 18 U.S.C. § 1963.
