Dandurand
Continued from A1
Because Brown must now
stay 100 yards from his ex-girl-
friend and not attempt to con-
tact her in any way, it remains
to be determined if he’ll be al-
lowed in the same courtroom
as her, even if they are tried to-
gether.
Regardless, Dandurand’s
Honolulu attorney, Barry L.
Sooalo, said it was important
to document the nature of the
couple’s relationship prior to
the alleged crimes.
“Mr. Brown should be the
focus of what this case is about,
not Hailey Dandurand,” Sooalo
told The Bulletin. “If you look
at her background and the
things that she’s done, there’s
nothing at all to indicate that
she would do anything crazy
of this sort. Whereas for Mr.
Brown, this is a continuation of
his normal conduct.”
At the time of his arrest in
Boinville’s killing, Brown had
three other open criminal cases
in the Hawaii justice system —
two for domestic violence and
one for drinking in public. He
was last in jail that July. One
of his ex-girlfriends told a Ho-
nolulu television station when
she spoke to him that month
he was unemployed, “very sui-
cidal” and mentioned suicide
by cop.
The next month — Au-
gust 2017 — Brown and Dan-
durand met and started dating.
The daughter of an elemen-
tary school principal, Dan-
durand was remembered by
classmates in Bend as a quiet,
if unassuming, presence in a
2018 profile in The Bulletin.
She left high school before
graduating and moved to Ha-
waii, where she earned her
GED and started attending
community college.
“She was doing alright until
she met Stephen,” Sooalo said.
“She had a promising future
ahead of her.”
Boinville, 42, was a teacher
who occasionally helped
friends maintain their rental
properties. On Dec. 7, 2017,
she stopped at a home on Ke
Iki Road near the beach at Pu-
pukea to put up some flowers
and take a load of laundry out
of the dryer. Her 8-year-old
daughter stayed in the truck
watching a movie on her cell
phone.
Several hours later, the fam-
ily that had reserved the home
arrived to find Boinville’s body,
a bag covering her head, next
to an arsenal of bloodied weap-
ons — mallet, knife, machete,
hammer, baseball bat. Boin-
ville’s daughter was found tied
up in a room upstairs with her
mouth taped shut. And Boin-
ville’s gold Toyota Tacoma was
missing from the driveway.
Honolulu Police alerted the
public that Boinville’s killers
had fled in her truck, and Dan-
durand and Brown were soon
arrested at a Starbucks about
a half-hour from the crime

Stephen Brown appears in Honolulu District Court on Dec. 11, 2017. He
and former Bend resident Hailey Kai Dandurand are charged with sec-
ond-degree murder and other offenses in the killing of a woman.
scene, dozens of irate locals
surrounding them shouting in-
sults and abuse.
Boinville’s cause of death was
found to be blunt- and sharp-
force injuries. The medical ex-
aminer wrote in the autopsy
report it was impossible to
count all the distinct wounds
to Boinville’s body.
According to a 10-page in-
dictment, the evidence against
Dandurand includes the fact
she was allegedly wearing a
pair of Boinville’s earrings
and her daughter’s backpack
when taken into custody. In
her pocket was Boinville’s
blood-covered debit card. The
prosecution further alleges
blood matching Boinville’s
DNA profile was found in sev-
eral places on Dandurand’s
body.
Brown grew up in Ohio and
Florida and moved to Oahu in
2015 to be with his biological
father.
According to the restraining
order, Dandurand said Brown
subjected her to sex abuse,
physical harm and extreme
psychological abuse. Over the
course of their relationship, he
reportedly threated to kill Dan-
durand or her family if he was
ever confronted about steal-
ing money and property from
them.
Dandurand’s petition out-
lines several instances of abuse
over the course of the couple’s
four-month relationship.
The first alleged instance
occurred Oct. 20, 2017 when
Brown forced her to have sex
and raped her with a vodka
bottle, she wrote in her petition
for a temporary restraining
order.
On Nov. 17, 2017, Dan-
durand said he slapped,
punched and shoved her.
“He picked me up and
slammed me into the ground,”
Dandurand wrote in her peti-
tion for a temporary restrain-
ing order. “He said that he was
not going to kill me but that he
was just going to hurt me real
bad.”
Another alleged instance
stands out for its date: Dec.
7, 2017, the day Boinville
was killed. Dandurand wrote
Brown hit her with balled fists,
“full power punches.”
“He punched me repeatedly
in the face (at least five times)
and he said he wishes he had
OBITUARY
killed me,” she wrote.
This month, Dandurand’s
legal defense moved to fur-
ther distance her from Brown
ahead of their August trial date
for second-degree murder,
robbery, kidnapping and other
charges.
Dandurand’s trial is now
set to begin Aug. 9 after be-
ing reset more than 10 times.
All murder trials are now on
hold as Hawaii grapples with a
historic backlog caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic.
Sooalo touts two polygraph
tests he says his client passed.
One concerns the death of
Boinville, the other, the kid-
napping. Another piece of ev-
idence Sooalo often mentions
is the lack of a positive identifi-
cation by Boinville’s daughter.
For this reason, Sooalo says it
would be unfair for jurors to
see Dandurand in the same
courtroom as Brown.
“There’s always a concern
that Hailey gets swept up in the
heat-of-the-moment passion
and takes on liability for con-
duct of someone else,” Sooalo
said.
Matthew Dvonch, special
counsel for the prosecuting
attorney of Oahu, declined to
discuss Dandurand’s case be-
yond procedural matters.
Since her daughter’s arrest,
Dandurand’s mother,
Sunshine, quit her job as prin-
cipal at Buckingham Elemen-
tary in Bend, and she and Hai-
ley’s father, Kaipo, now live on
Oahu.
Before the killing, Kaipo
Dandurand posted a note on
social media in November of
that year asking for help locat-
ing his daughter and suggest-
ing her boyfriend had been
controlling her and using her-
oin to do it.
Sooalo said of them today,
“They are doing well under
these very difficult circum-
stances.”

Trump
Continued from A1
In their closing arguments,
as they did during the trial,
House Democrats played
a collection of videos that
showed graphic violence
from the rioters’ attack, in-
cluding heretofore confi-
dential security video that
revealed how close the mob
got to lawmakers and staff.
The videos — some filmed
just steps from where the trial
took place — provided an
emotional punch to the case.
Trump’s attorneys coun-
tered that the former pres-
ident had done nothing
wrong, that his speech
was protected by the First
Amendment, and that his of-
ten pugilistic rhetoric was not
meant to be taken literally.
The mob, Trump’s legal team
said, had acted on their own.
“There was no evidence
Mr. Trump intended his
words to incite violence,” at-
torney Michael van der Veen
told senators in his closing
argument. “The violence was
preplanned and premeditated
by a group of independent
actors. … His words weren’t
what set this into motion.”
Most Republicans agreed,
or argued that the Consti-
tution didn’t even allow the
Senate to hear the trial be-
cause Trump was now a pri-
vate citizen — a sentiment
that many legal experts have
disputed.
Despite the acquittal, the
shape of the vote reflected a
Republican Party reassessing
its ties to Trump. McConnell,
sounding eager for some dis-
tance, unleashed a scathing
screed against his actions. He
accused Trump of happily
watching the mob attack on
television, and suggested that
if Trump were still president
he may be guilty of an im-
peachable offense.
The “mob was assault-
ing the Capitol in his name.
These criminals were carry-
ing his banners,” McConnell
said. “The president did not
act quickly. He did not do his
job. He did not take steps so
federal law could be faithfully
executed.”
Raskin said McConnell’s
remarks reflected the po-
tency of the proceedings,
noting the Senate minority
leader “made a series of state-
ments that we didn’t even
make, saying that this is not
over yet by a long shot essen-
tially, and that there is a path
of criminal prosecution for
the former president.”
McConnell was Senate ma-
jority leader when the House
impeached Trump, but re-
fused to immediately return
the Senate to session and
schedule a trial while Trump
was still in office.
Trump’s defense team,
meanwhile, celebrated with
fist bumps as they departed
in a subway cart in the
basement of the U.S. Capi-
tol. “We’re going to Disney
World!” Van der Veen said
facetiously.
Trump did not address the
actions at the Capitol on Jan.
6 but derided the trial as an-
other “witch hunt.”
“This has been yet another
phase of the greatest witch
hunt in the history of our
Country,” he said in a state-
ment. “No president has ever
gone through anything like it.”
Unlike Trump’s first im-
peachment trial, in which Re-
publicans rushed to defend
the president, many GOP
senators took no such steps
this time. The vast majority
of the Senate conference con-
demned the attack and many
said Trump had played a role
in inciting it, or should have
done more to quell it. Instead
of defending Trump’s actions,
they cited procedural or con-
stitutional claims in their ac-
quittal votes.
