next year Hawaii will see its 1st death penalty trial since the state abolished capital punishment in 1957.
Army Specialist Naeem Williams pleaded not guilty yesterday to a charge of murdering his 5-year-old daughter, Talia.
Federal Magistrate Judge Leslie Kobayashi set Williams' trail for October 16, 2007.
Earlier this year U-S Attorney General Alberto Gonzales authorized a death penalty prosecution of Williams.
Williams' wife, Delilah, will also go on trial for her step-daughter's murder. She faces a maximum of life in prison.
According to the city Medical Examiner's Office, Talia died on July 16 last year from head trauma due to battered-child syndrome.
