what she did as a lifestyle."
It was a lifestyle she was planning
to leave. Miller said, describing how
she enrolled in community college
and was planning to move from Las
Vegas back to her native Portland.
Harris' parents plan to be in Hawaii
for the hearing, which they expect to
be quite graphic, Miller said.
"The family is real conscious and
confident things will work out in their
favor," he said. "They'll getjustice for
their daughter being killed."
The Honolulu medical examiner's
office said the cause of Harris' death
was injury to the neck, and the man­
