HONOLULU — When Hailey Dandurand is sentenced for her role in the grisly murder of Telma Boinville on Nov. 15, she will be assured at least the possibility of one day being a free woman again.

On Friday, a circuit court jury decided against an extended sentence for Dandurand, taking off the table the option for Judge Rowena Somerville to impose a sentence of life without parole.

On Aug. 1, a jury found Dandurand, 26, guilty of second-degree murder, two counts of kidnapping, second-degree unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle, burglary and unauthorized possession of personal confidential information.

Prosecutors said Dandurand and her then-boyfriend Stephen Brown were burglarizing a North Shore vacation rental when they were interrupted by 51-year-old teacher Telma Boinville, who had been hired to clean the property.

The couple allegedly bound, suffocated and hacked the career teacher to death with a machete before taking Boinville’s 8-year-old daughter, who was waiting in a car outside, binding her and leaving her at the house.

Dandurand’s attorney said Dandurand, who was 20 at the time of the incident, helped tie up the woman because she was afraid Brown would kill her if she didn’t but did not murder her.

Brown was convicted in January of second-degree murder, two counts of kidnapping and burglary.

Second-degree murder is punishable by life in prison with the possibility of parole. Both Dandurand and Brown were eligible for extended sentencing due to their multiple felony convictions.

Brown will face the possibility of life without parole when he is sentenced on Aug. 30.
