A 65-year-old man will likely spend the rest of his life in prison after his conviction this morning on a second-degree murder charge.

A Circuit Court jury deliberated only four hours before convicting Joel Allen of the stabbing murder of Jason Namauu, 35, last year near Cartwright Field in Makiki.
Circuit Judge Michael Town set sentencing for Jan. 27.
The crime carries a punishment of life in prison with the possibility of parole.
Namauu was a transgendered female who used the names Jaylynn and Lynette Namauu.
The victim was killed during a struggle in Allen’s car.
One witness in the trial said Allen and Namauu had a personal relationship for the previous two years, although Allen denied that on the witness stand.
"It was a tough case in the sense that it involved a more sympathetic defendant than perhaps the victim was," said Deputy Prosecutor Darrell Wong.
The prosecutor expressed appreciation to three witnesses who agreed to testify about the crime.
Two of them were Pacific Islanders not fluent in English who “came forward and went in harm’s way” to try to stop the attack and then to cooperate with police and prosecutors in the court case, said Wong.
Allen said he acted in self defense, claiming that Namauu attacked him after Allen refused to give the victim $250 for drugs.
Allen moved to Hawaii in 1995 from Oregon, living first in Kona and then on Oahu since 2000.
