Description
The evidence indicates that on August 29, 1980 defendants, in Swanson's automobile, picked up Kenneth N. Morse (Morse) and Robert A. Mitchell (Mitchell) at a bus stop near Little Orphan Annie's, a bar in the airport industrial area of Honolulu. The four drove to a liquor store where they remained for approximately 10 to 20 minutes before continuing on towards Waikiki. Churchill drove while Swanson sat in the front passenger seat and Mitchell and Morse rode in the back seat. When they got to Ala Moana Park near the intersection of Ala Moana Boulevard and Piikoi Street, Churchill stopped the car and the occupants emerged and began fighting among themselves. In the course of the fight, Churchill kicked Morse in the head at least twice while Swanson was holding Morse down on the ground and hitting him. Churchill and Swanson subsequently left the scene. In their absence, the police and a doctor arrived and Morse was pronounced dead at the scene at 12:05 a.m., August 30, 1980. A few hours later, Churchill returned to look for his glasses. He and Swanson, who was then asleep in the car, were arrested for murder. An autopsy performed later that morning indicated the cause of death to be brain injury resulting from head trauma.
