Dog the Bounty Hunter, Wife Lobby Against Hawaii Justice Reform Initiative [View all]
By Chad Blair 04/25/2012
Duane "Dog" Chapman and Beth Chapman and their massive blond manes were hard to miss Tuesday afternoon at the state Capitol.
The stars of A&E's "Dog the Bounty Hunter" reality series were not visiting Hawaii legislators to look for fugitives from justice.
Rather, the Chapmans were seeking to derail the Abercrombie administration's "Justice Reinvestment" initiative, a data-driven approach to reforming Hawaii's criminal justice system, which would include freeing up prison space.
The Chapmans testified against Senate Bill 2776, the major Justice Reinvestment legislation before lawmakers.
