Rotary Club of Kihei Wailea is pleased to announce guest speaker, Alexander Silvert, Attorney and Author on September 6^th.  Please join us for this riveting real-life story that took place on Honolulu.  

Alexander Silvert was raised in New York City and Vermont. A graduate of UCLA and Boston College Law School, he worked as a state and federal public defender in Philadelphia before moving to Honolulu in 1989. He served as the first assistant federal public defender from 1992 to his retirement in October 2020 and was named Federal Defender of the Year in 2000 by the National Association of Federal Defenders. Silvert wrote The Mailbox Conspiracy based on his personal involvement in the Louis and Katherine Kealoha case from 2013 to 2020.

The Mailbox Conspiracy is a spellbinding tale of corruption in Law Enforcement when Honolulu police chief Louis Kealoha and his wife, Katherine, the city's deputy prosecutor, reported their mailbox stolen to frame a family member, it was only the beginning of an elaborate conspiracy-and a corruption case that soon became the most notorious in Hawai'i history. Riveting and meticulously told by the federal defender who learned the story from the inside. The Mailbox Conspiracy is a fascinating study in the corruption of power and the abuse of public office.
