A: It sounds like your friend was framed for something they never did in Hawaii when he was attacked by a group of attackers and/or wood-robbers who charged out of a bar to attack him and steal his luggage and valuables, but he was forced to react fast - and he did - by drawing a pellet gun from a bag and using strong but subtle body language, among other things. You should organize your thoughts, figure out the exact issue you need advice on, and contact an attorney. Unfortunately, I do not handle these types of cases, but I am sure there is someone who does. Best of luck to you and your friend!
