HONOLULU -- A woman involved in an interstate crime spree 30 years ago is back in Hawaii for her third murder trial.

Maryann Bray 31 years ago participated in an interstate crime spree, which include robberies and two murders.

On Friday, she said she is innocent of a Hawaii killing and wants a trial to clear her name.

"I just wanted to say I've been fighting this case since 1981 and I am not quitting now," Bray said.

Since her murder and robbery conviction in 1982, Bray, who was then Maryann Acker, has been serving time in California. Her Hawaii conviction was reversed because her husband and co-defendant also claimed he killed Lawrence Hasker.

Prosecutors now want to replay the trial. She said she wants the truth to come out despite the risk of trial.

"Three months ago, I could have pleaded guilty to a lesser charge and been released from custody in the state of Hawaii and this case would have been over, but I couldn't do that," Bray said.

Even though Bray said she is confident she could win, her attorney on Friday fought to have the case thrown out; saying prosecutors took too long to prepare for the retrial. The prosecutor said they did their best to find witnesses who are long gone or dead.

"There are real problems the state faced in attempting to get ready for a 30-year-old murder," Deputy Prosecutor Landon Murata said.

Bray's attorney also argued that William Acker should not be allowed to testify because he has a history of lying.

"He was deceptive and still they put him on the stand the first time," defense attorney Keith Shigetomi said.

Judge Michael Town ruled Acker will testify, but did not rule on whether there was excessive delay. Bray said she just wants to clear her name.

"What more do I have than my name? My name is part of who I am," Bray said.

Bray's name will never be completely cleared. She was convicted of murder as an accomplice in California. Authorities there are ready to parole her, depending on what happens in Hawaii.
