Attorneys for a Native Hawaiian man imprisoned for more than 20 years after his conviction for the 1991 sexual assault, kidnapping and murder of a Virginia woman visiting the Big Island will ask a judge to dismiss his conviction due to new evidence including DNA testing in the case.
A petition filed Monday outlines additional evidence in one of Hawaiʻi's biggest murder cases. The 1991 attack of 23-year-old Dana Ireland remained unsolved for years, despite gaining major national attention.
