In this episode of “The Other Side of Paradise,” Lynn Kawano details the difficulties Alvin Jardine III suffered after DNA cleared him of a home invasion rape, after he had already spent 20 years in prison.

Jardine was homeless when he was found dead in the Haiku area of Maui in December, days after the Maui Police Department issued a missing person bulletin.

He was the first person exonerated by the Hawaii Innocence Project in 2011.
