Suspected criminal convicted of ordering murder after crash

Attorneys for Michael Miske told jurors he was a legitimate businessman. The Honolulu entrepreneur started Kama’aina Termite and Pest Control, expanded into other industries and even offered pro bono work to the Neal S. Blaisdell Center arena when the city ran out of money, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported. But federal prosecutors in Hawaii portrayed him as a crime boss who trafficked drugs, ordered gas attacks on rival nightclubs and had his late son’s best friend, Johnathan Fraser, killed after a tragic accident in 2016.

“Today we got justice for Johnny,” Fraser’s mother said outside the courthouse Thursday, according to Hawaii News Now. “It’s not a victory, because nobody wins today. It’s justice. Justice for my son.”
