PREMEDITATION ISSUES: THE ROBERT WILCOX CONNECTION
compiled by Amelia Gora (2010)
The documented conspirators, treasonous persons have had their eyes on Hawaii for a long time. They also enlisted the aid of aboriginal Hawaiians/kanaka maoli/part aboriginal Hawaiians.
This is part of the story of Robert Wilcox, a cousin of King David Kalakaua, and Queen Liliuokalani and his documented moves in Hawaii's history.
Now, let us explore/view Robert W. Wilcox's moves in the times of his cousins King David Kalakaua and Queen Liliuokalani reign.
Let us view his background by going over Queen Liliuokalani writings from her book HAWAII'S STORY BY HAWAII'S QUEEN which is available free at the following link: http://digital.library.upenn.edu/women/liliuokalani/hawaii/hawaii.html
About Robert W. Wilcox:
"Robert William Kalanihiapo Wilcox was the son of an American father from New England and a mother descended from Maui royalty. He was educated at the Turin Military Academy in Italy under the Kalakaua Studies Abroad program. Six-feet tall, with burning dark eyes, a Roman nose, and the power of oratory, the charismatic Wilcox was rash and changeable."
1888 - FIRST STRIKE"Wilcox led some 300 armed men in his first attempt to unseat the new government."

Robert Wilcox".
May 24. Volney V. Ashford and Robert Wilcox with 18 others were "charged
with the crime of treason against the Hawaiian Government" and
arrested. "Their object was the overthrow of the existing form of
government, by deposing Queen Liliuokalani and establishing a Hawaiian
republic."

January 1893.
Wilcox had attempted to overthrow King Kalakaua twice (1888 and 1889).

evidence to sustain the charges. The demurrer was overruled...the
penalty for treason is death; for conspiracy imprisonment, not to exceed
ten years, and a fine of $1,000. They were convicted on charges of the
lesser offense or conspiracy.
