Rabauliman was “uncomfortable” with the presence of Attorney General Edward T. Buckingham, the board’s counsel.
The Variety was told that Buckingham was one of the prosecutors in the kidnap-rape case against Rabauliman in 1998.
On Friday, Rabauliman was remanded to the custody of the Department of Corrections.
His parole hearing was supposed to determine whether to revoke his parole or not.
Rabauliman was returned to the custody of Corrections early this month after he violated the conditions of his parole.
Rabauliman, who was paroled in 2008, was involved in a domestic violence incident.
In March 2006, Superior Court Presiding Judge Robert C. Naraja granted in part Rabauliman’s motion for a reduction of sentence.
In his order, Naraja modified Rabauliman’s sentence to
• 10 years imprisonment with five years suspended for rape;
• 10 years imprisonment with five years suspended for oral copulation;
• 10 years imprisonment with two and a half years suspended on each conviction of kidnapping, or a total of 20 years, with five years suspended;
• One year imprisonment for assault and battery, all suspended.
Rabauliman’s total sentence was 41 years imprisonment, all suspended, except for 25 years, Naraja stated in his March 2, 2006 order.
Then-Superior Court Presiding Judge Edward Manibusan sentenced Rabauliman and another individual to 30 years imprisonment for kidnapping and raping two Chinese guest workers in 1998.
Manibusan originally sentenced Rabauliman for the kidnapping offense to 10 years imprisonment for each two counts of kidnapping to run consecutively. But this was modified by Naraja who suspended two and a half years for each count.
