HONOLULU (AP) - A Pittsburgh man pleaded not guilty Thursday to manslaughter in the strangulation of a college buddy he was vacationing with in Hawaii.
A judge ordered Benjamin Fleming, who has been released on $250,000 bond, not to leave the Big Island without court permission pending his trial, scheduled for August.
Fleming was staying at a Kailua-Kona Airbnb last month with two buddies he’s known since college at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.

The very first of the 10 blood samples tested came back positive, so they ran the test again. It was only later that night, after Ishac Nazy and colleagues had identified the first case of a COVID vaccine-induced blood clot in Canada, that the situation struck him as “kind of historic.”
“Canada felt like it was protected from this, because it hadn’t happened here,” said Nazy, director of a McMaster University laboratory in Hamilton that is the only one in the country able to diagnose rare blood clotting issues related to COVID vaccines.

Alexander Germany-Wald of Montclair, New Jersey, testified at a preliminary hearing for Fleming last week that their friend, Abhishek Gupta, also of Pittsburgh, got “psychotically” drunk on their first night on the Big Island.
Germany-Wald said he walked Gupta back to the rental, where Gupta punched him. When Fleming returned to the condo, he intervened by restraining Gupta, Germany-Wald said.
