This photo is among the hundreds of documents admitted into evidence over the 5 months since the racketeering trial of Mike Miske got underway.

During his prior trial testimony, Jacob “Jake” Smith identified it as his hand making an “E” signal, which he said was a symbol for “East side,” a reference that appears to have encompassed many of the associates who reported to or took directions from accused racketeering boss Michael Miske, the former owner of Kamaaina Termite and Pest Control, and several other local companies.

The photo was taken outside the headquarters of Miske’s Kamaaina Termite and Pest Control on February 9, 2016. Smith said it was taken after the first several assaults he had carried out at Miske’s directions.

In other photos and social media posts, several people identified with a gang known as the “North Shore Boys” indicated an alliance with Miske’s “East Side” associates, at least during a certain time period.
