The man accused of violating the terms of his $100,000 bond was ordered yesterday by Judge Randal Valenciano to remain in jail until his February trial.
Shane Nevada Duncan, of Kapa‘a, was accused of violating the conditions of his bond by contacting the mother of his children, Jamie Mundon, despite protective orders intended to prevent him from doing so.
Duncan faces charges of manslaughter for allegedly assaulting Jamie Mundon’s mother by kicking her in the chest when trying to take his child — her grandchild — away from her. The injuries she suffered from his alleged actions resulted in her death, prosecutors state.
Duncan also faces unlawful imprisonment as well as family abuse charges for keeping Jamie Mundon against her will when her mother was in the hospital.
Despite several restraining orders intended to prevent Duncan from contacting Mundon, Valenciano found he was in violation of that order by calling her on the phone. Jamie Mundon testified that Duncan also approached her at a McDonald’s despite the order, and “threatened to kick (her) ass,” she said in court.
Mundon’s testimony was interrupted when Duncan’s mother mouthed to her that she was lying, a disruption causing Valenciano to order a recess and warn those in the galley to act appropriately.
Valenciano, who said in his court experience he is more than just familiar with Parents Achieving With Collaborative Teams process in which couples who are divorced or apart are supposed to coordinate visitation rights and said he was concerned that $100,000 wasn’t enough to deter Duncan from trying to contact Mundon.
“You’d think with the amount of bond, that would be incentive to be as cautious as one could,” Valenciano said.
The charges against Duncan stem from injuries he allegedly caused to “Annette” Mundon, 65, of Kapa‘a — which allegedly led to her hospitalization and death five months ago.
Duncan’s hearing was solely to determine whether he violated his terms of bond, which, Valenciano found, he did. Duncan will not be released until his February trial.
Valenciano said the $100,000 would not be forfeited, just revoked, meaning the family could have the money returned at the end of judicial proceedings.
