HONOLULU (AP) — Authorities say a man accused of dousing a woman with acid in Hawaii last year allegedly tried to cast doubt on himself as a suspect by plotting with a fellow inmate to carry out a second, similar attack. A new grand jury indictment says while jailed for the April 7 attack, Paul Cameron arranged for a fellow inmate to be released on bail and instructed him on how to carry out a similar attack on another woman in January. Police say the motive was to cast doubt on Cameron as a suspect in the first attack. Lawyers for both men couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.
