#Judge Kristin Hamman

“Thank you… You guys believed in me,” said Gordon Cordeiro as he hugged family and friends upon his release on Friday afternoon. After more than 30 years behind bars, Cordeiro is a free man thanks to the Hawaiʻi Innocence Project and a ruling by 2nd Circuit District Court Judge Kirstin M. Hamman, vacating a murder conviction and granting him immediate release.
