The story behind statue of King Kamehameha I
HONOLULU (KHON2) – In the ahupuaʻa of Honolulu, which lies in the moku of Kona here on Oʻahu, stands a symbol of Hawaiian pride. We are speaking of King Kamehameha I Statue. Kaʻahumanu St, from Downtown Honolulu to Pearl City What was originally proposed to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Captain Cook's arrival to Hawaiʻi, an image of a 45-year-old King Kamehameha I was chosen as a monument promoting Hawaiian national pride. At a cost of $10,000, it was politician Walter Gibson representing Lāhainā who had proposed the idea. Having been started in Boston and completed in Paris, the 7-foot-tall statue left Germany on a ship in August of months later, word reached Hawaiʻi that the ship went down off the coast of Falkland Islands, losing all of its cargo. Following the loss of the original statue, a second statue of King Kamehameha I was commissioned. But to the government's surprise, the original was recovered and arrived in Honolulu a couple months prior to its replacement. Today, there are four.

The replacement statue was installed first on Oʻahu in 1883 at its present location fronting Aliʻiōlani Hale. The recovered, original statue was unveiled a couple months later in Kohala on Hawaiʻi Island as it is the King's birthplace. In 1969, following statehood, a statue of the Father of the Hawaiian Kingdom was installed in the US Capitol Statutory Hall. The final statue was installed in Hilo in 1997, which was originally for a hotel on Kauaʻi, but Kauaʻi residents said no because King Kamehameha I failed to conquer them. Did you know? Now you do!

Military spouse killing sentencing continues with emotional testimony
HONOLULU (KHON2) — The sentencing phase of the court martial hearing for Army Pfc. Dewayne Johnson took place on June 4, with the session containing emotional testimony. The phase follows Johnson's guilty plea to two counts of voluntary manslaughter, obstruction of justice and providing false statements in the brutal killing of his pregnant wife, 19-year-old Mischa Johnson. ALERT: Fire, heavy smoke near H-1 prompts lane closures Cameras were not allowed in the military courtroom, but Johnson shed tears several times, unlike his previous hearing where he was mostly emotionless. Mischa's mother, Francis, testified about the unbearable pain of the loss of her youngest daughter and how she felt betrayed by Johnson, who she said she trusted and loved as a son. Johnson also wiped tears away from his face during Mischa's sister's testimony, where she called the victim her 'best friend,' and highlighted the anguish brought by her little sister's part of the plea deal, Johnson admitted to using a machete during an argument to strike Mischa on the head, where he then dismembered and disposed of her remains. In exchange, his charge was reduced to voluntary manslaughter. Johnson's family testified by phone from Maryland, where his father and brothers described him as a quiet, caring boy in a 'faith based family.' Download the free KHON2 app for iOS or Android to stay informed on the latest news In his address to the court, Johnson apologized to Mischa's family, as well as his own, saying he 'failed as a husband, father and as a man.' One shocking twist in the hearing was when the prosecution brought in a military investigator, who testified that within days of his wife's death, Johnson had created several profiles on social media and dating sites that included videos and photos of him being intimate with other women. The government is asking for the maximum sentence of 23 years in prison, with the defense asking for the minimum of 18 years. The judge will make her decision on Johnson's sentence on June 5.
