HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - The family of a transgendered person, who was stabbed to death two years ago, flew from Maui to Oahu to speak out at the convicted killer's sentencing Wednesday.

Victim Jason Namauu's family members say he was different, but didn't deserve to die like that. The convicted murderer seemed disinterested in what they had to say.

When Joel Allen refused to look at his victim's sister, the emotionally-wounded woman walked around the defense table to face him.
