Haw. Pattern Jury Instr. (Criminal) 14.06A
Renunciation of Solicitation H.R.S. § 705-
H.R.S. § 705-530(2), (4) and (5)
In a prosecution for criminal solicitation, it is an
affirmative defense that the Defendant, under circumstances
manifesting a complete and voluntary renunciation of his/her
criminal intent, notifies the person solicited of his/her
renunciation and [gives timely warning to law-enforcement
authorities] [makes a reasonable effort to prevent the conduct
or result solicited].
A "renunciation" is not "voluntary and complete" if it is
motivated in whole or in part by:
(a) A belief that circumstances exist which increase the
probability of detection or apprehension of the accused or
another participant in the criminal enterprise, or which render
more difficult the accomplishment of the criminal purpose; or
(b) A decision to postpone the criminal conduct until
another time or to transfer the criminal effort to another
victim or another but similar objective.
[A "warning to law-enforcement authorities" is not "timely"
within the meaning of this section unless the authorities,
reasonably acting upon the warning, would have the opportunity
to prevent the conduct or result.] [An effort is not
"reasonable" within the meaning of this section unless the
Defendant, under reasonably foreseeable circumstances, would
have prevented the conduct or result.]
