Murphy аrrived lаte fоr his аfternооn appointment with Finch, his attorney, about a probate matter. Finch saw that Murphy had been drinking heavily. Murphy staggered as he was ushered into Finch’s office; Murphy’s breath smelled of alcohol. In a slurred voice, Murphy apologized for being late. He explained that he had a “few drinks” with some friends and “lost track” of time. During the interview, Murphy rambled incoherently, and Finch finally suggested that the appointment be rescheduled. As Murphy left the office, Finch offered to call an Uber, but Murphy insisted on driving. Finch watched with trepidation as Murphy drove away. Two blocks down the street Murphy collided with a parked car. He was not injured and fled the scene on foot. In his later trial for hit-and-run and drunk driving, Murphy is represented by another lawyer. The state of Hawaii calls Finch as a witness. Murphy’s attorney objects. In response, the state’s prosecutor cited Hawaii’s Code 503, which codifies its attorney-client privilege as follows: A client has a privilege to refuse to disclose and to prevent any other person from disclosing confidential communications made for the purpose of facilitating the rendition of professional legal services to the client (1) between the client or the client's representative and the lawyer or the lawyer's representative, or (2) between the lawyer and the lawyer's representative. . . There is no privilege under this rule: (1) If the services of the lawyer were sought, obtained, or used to enable or aid anyone to commit or plan to commit what the client knew or reasonably should have known to be a crime or fraud; (2) As to a communication reflecting the client's intent to commit a criminal or fraudulent act that the lawyer reasonably believes is likely to result in death or substantial bodily harm, or in substantial injury to the financial interests or property of another; . . . (4) As to a communication relevant to an issue of breach of duty by the lawyer to the client or by the client to the lawyer; If Murphy claims attorney-client privilege, can Finch, nonetheless, be required to testify?

Xаnder is аccused оf steаling a digital camera. Allegedly, Xander entered the accessоries sectiоn of the store, peeled off the price tag of a $30 accessory, walked into the digital camera section of the store, selected a $500 digital camera, and covered the camera’s actual price tag with the $30 price tag. When the clerk scanned the item, he failed to notice the price tag switch, and Xander was able to leave the store after paying only $30. The clerk has identified Xander as the shopper who presented the wrongly tagged camera. Xander claims that he was not the one who committed this crime and that the store clerk misidentified him. The prosecutor wants to admit evidence that last year, Xander stole a $1500 cell phone by pasting a computer price tag from a $150 cell phone case onto the cell phone’s packaging, paying only $150 for the phone. Is this evidence admissible?
