Man gets life sentence for murder of Waianae teacher
Hawaii News Now
A former Hawaii State Hospital patient convicted of murdering an unsuspecting Waianae High School teacher has been sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole.

Russell Roberts‘s insight:

For what it’s worth–don’t let this criminal go. He deserves neither parole or understanding. Let him rot behind bars. His act was inexcusable. Aloha, Russ.
