\nCHEHALIS – A no-bail bench warrant was issued this morning when 32-year-old Joanna McKenzie failed to show up for her sentencing.<\/p>\n

McKenzie previously pleaded guilty to attempted burglary in connection with the night in April when an Onalaska property owner opened fire on her and her husband after he discovered them outside his house.<\/p>\n

The Morton woman escaped uninjured but her husband Thomas McKenzie was fatally shot.<\/p>\n

Lewis County Superior Court Judge James Lawler asked her attorney if he tried calling her. J.O. Enbody said he did, the phone number was no good, and he left a message for her on her boyfriend’s phone.<\/p>\n

Joanna McKenzie has been free on a $10,000 unsecured bond. She recently made a so-called Alford plea, not admitting guilt in the case.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors planned to recommend she be treated as a first-time offender – because she has no felony criminal history – a situation that normally brings 30 days in jail, Deputy Prosecutor Kjell Warner said.<\/p>\n

Because it was only an attempted crime and “given the circumstances of this case” Warner expected to ask she be sentenced to 15 days, he said.<\/p>\n

Enbody said she’s made every other court date.<\/p>\n

Ronald A. Brady, the man who shot at the McKenzies, made his first appearance in the same Chehalis courtroom yesterday afternoon, to face charges of first-degree manslaughter and first-degree assault.
