Second-Degree Murder (2 counts), Kidnapping, First-Degree Sexual Assault, Robbery, Aggravated Assault, Assault (3 incidents), Violation of a Protective Order, and Probation Violation (4 incidents)
On November 26, 2005, Sarah Marie Fay was found unconscious on the floor of a Fern Acres subdivision house, with severe head and bodily injuries.
On December 1, 2005, Marwann Timothy Saad Jackson, also known as Judah Jackson, was arraigned in Hilo District Court and was charged with second-degree murder, second-degree murder by omission, kidnapping, first-degree sexual assault, second-degree robbery murder, sexual assault, kidnapping, robbery (for stealing Sarah Marie's car), and violation of a long-term protective order.
Police declared Sarah Marie legally dead, but she was kept alive at the Queen's Medical Center in order to preserve the life of her preborn child. The little boy, Josiah Darcy Fay, was born healthy on December 11, 2005, and Sarah Marie was taken off life support and died.
Stacey Fay, Sarah Marie's sister, said "Actually, what's helping me get through this is that little baby, being able to touch her stomach, and he was just moving around like crazy yesterday when we were talking to him. ... That made it a lot easier to deal with the pain of seeing her -- the way she looks."
Stacey said that Sarah Marie had carried on a relationship with Jackson for about a year before he murdered her, and that he was mentally and physically abusive toward her and called her obsessively. She also said that many people tried to reason with Sarah Marie to end the relationship.
Court records showed that Jackson has a long criminal record. Just the year before he murdered Sarah Marie, he was found guilty of seven crimes, including three felonies connected with an incident in which he dragged a police officer 30 feet with his car. He also attacked another man with a coconut, opening a gash in his head. In addition to all of this, he had been charged with eight other crimes.
On February 22, 2006, Hilo Circuit Judge Glenn Hara Jackson sentenced Jackson to five concurrent terms of five years in prison for his previous felonies.

Forced Abortion
On December 1, 1999, Ann Hose, a prisoner at the Oahu Community Correctional Center, filed a lawsuit against the state of Hawaii, Oahu Community Correctional Center and several officials of the state Department of Public Safety, over the killing of her unborn baby against her wishes. Hose was two to three months pregnant at the time of her arrest and says she "clearly informed" prison personnel of this fact. She wanted to keep her baby, but she claims that a prison nurse, over her objections, injected Depo-Provera into her abdomen, killing her baby. Hose's lawyer Myles S. Brenier says that prison medical records support Hose's version of the events. Brenier said that his client asked to call her husband before getting the shot but was not allowed to do so. Brenier said she was also told she would be put in solitary lock-down and labeled a "troublemaker" if the intake process, during which she was injected, did not go smoothly. She was not informed that the injection might kill or harm her baby.
