Patrick McKenna was tried and acquitted of murder in the standoff, but he received a year prison sentence for an escape attempt. In , he and another inmate acquired a pistol and took several hostages for two hours at the Nevada State Prison in Carson City. Authorities have said Patrick McKenna also masterminded a death row escape plan that was foiled in at the Ely State Prison.
Former prosecutor Douglas Herndon, now a Nevada Supreme Court justice, persuaded jurors to sentence Patrick McKenna to death in , the third time a panel had done so. In an interview Wednesday, Herndon remembered the level of added security at the courthouse, where authorities were concerned about an escape attempt.
A special hole was cut into a wall of the courthouse to allow for easier access from the jail, he said. His death came after the Nevada Assembly approved a bill to abolish capital punishment. The legislation still must be passed by the Senate. Hoff, for whom a memorial to fallen officers is named, has served on death row in Nevada for longer than Patrick McKenna.
Ken McKenna last spoke to his brother a few weeks before his death. The elder McKenna had been sent to High Desert State Prison to undergo surgery in Las Vegas to remove a cancerous tumor on his liver, according to his brother.
He survived the surgery but later suffered a series of heart attacks and died. This week, the younger McKenna, 67, reflected on his own life, which he now spends on a sailboat on the East Coast, as he thought about his four other brothers, particularly the convicted killer. Authorities had once suggested that Ken McKenna also attend Spring Mountain Youth Camp, but his mother refused after his older brother became a criminal.
