'The Other Side of Paradise' with Lynn Kawano

10. The Man who Fought for Freedom Only to Lose His Own

Roynes Dural was serving in the Navy, deployed to the Persian Gulf, when accusations of child sex assault were made against him. When he returned to Pearl Harbor in 2002, HPD detectives arrested him and he was subsequently convicted. He spent eight years in prison and eight more on parole. But in 2019, the conviction was overturned -- all charges dismissed -- not because of a technicality but because he didn't do it. While his court record has been cleared, he is still working to clear the mess left behind. In this episode of "The Other Side of Paradise," Dural talks to HNN's Lynn Kawano about his long journey to prove his innocence and be made whole again.

09. The Case of Mistaken Identity That Left a Man in a Psych Hospital for Years

A wrongful arrest landed a homeless man in the state mental hospital for more than two and a half years. Joshua Spriestersbach, 50, was homeless and sleeping outside Safe Haven in Chinatown when he was suddenly arrested by police officers. They believed he was Thomas Castleberry, a convicted drug user, car thief and burglar. Despite telling officials multiple times that he wasn’t Castleberry, Spriestersbach was instead jailed, then sent to the Hawaii State Hospital, where he was forced to take medication he didn’t need. It’s a story of mistakes, apparently by so many people at so many levels. In episode 9 of “The Other Side of Paradise,” HNN investigative reporter Lynn Kawano talks to Spriestersbach’s sister Vedanta Griffith about her efforts to get answers. Plus, we talk to the co-director of the Hawaii Innocence Project, Ken Lawson, who explains why he believes the state tried to cover-up the mistake.
