CBCC EFV Stabbing Trial
Hiivala was charged with attempted first degree murder. The trial began in Clallam County Superior Court on August 1, 1995. Heather was attacked when she disclosed she had been unfaithful (probably a good reason these things are best done over the phone or by letter). Heather refused to attend the trial despite prosecutors offering to pay her expenses. Hiivala was acquitted of the first degree attempted murder charge and convicted of second degree attempted murder. Hiivala was sentenced to life in prison without parole as a "three strike" defendant because of his prior criminal record. Hiivala had previously had a 2045 release date. Another CBCC prisoner John Bolton, already serving a sentence of life without parole for murder, is due to be sentenced under the three strikes law for having taken a CBCC counselor hostage.
