HONOLULU (KHON2) -- Opening statements began the start of the second trial for Eric Thompson, who stands accused of fatally shooting Waipahu acupuncturist Jon Tokuhara in January 2022.

"You'll see that throughout this trial, Eric Thompson planned this murder and executed the murder nearly flawlessly," said Ben Rose, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney. Prosecutors allege that upon discovering an affair between his wife, Joyce Thompson, and Jon Tokuhara, Eric Thompson meticulously planned Tokuhara's murder. They said Thompson shot Tokuhara four times in the face in his Waipahu clinic on January 12, 2022 because he was angry he had lost his "perfect" image. "And that's how he wants to show the world, that everything was perfect in his life," Rose told the jury.

They highlighted the lack of direct evidence linking Thompson to the crime scene and suggested there was shoddy police investigation and tunnel vision in the investigation that prematurely linked Thompson as the suspect. "There was no threats or anger directed at Jon Tokuhara. No evidence that Eric was ever in Waipahu," said Nelson Goo, Thompson's attorney. The prosecution emphasized the emotional toll on Tokuhara's family with Jon Tokuhara's mother taking the stand. She had difficulty remembering many details about the case, but the pain of finding her son shot dead remained. "He was in a prone position, his head down, and his head was in the entry," testified Lilly Tokuhara as she broke down into tears. Legal analysts suggested that both sides have likely refined their strategies since the first trial ended in a hung jury. "Now they know, so they can be able to take advantage and even them and ask some more pointed questions to really make their defense even stronger. Conversely, for the prosecutor, they've now heard Eric Thompson testified, and Mr. Thompson is locked into his prior statement. He can't change it. He said it under oath," said legal analyst Doug Chin. Download the free KHON2 app for iOS or Android to stay informed on the latest news The trial is expected to take four to five weeks.
