A6 THE BULLETIN • SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2021 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 Robert Francis Halter of Albany, OR Dec 22, 1932 - Feb 6, 2021 Arrangements: Fisher Funeral Home. 541- 928-3349. www.fisherfu- neralhome.com OBITUARY POLICY Death Notices are free and will be run for one day, but specific guidelines must be followed.

Kojima/Star-Advertiser photo 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.” e e Reporter: 541-383-0325, gandrews@bendbulletin.com 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. OBITUARY Doris J.
