The following day, the same jury sentenced Patterson to an effective 33-year prison sentence.
After Patterson was sentenced, he was taken into the custody of the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office and spent over two months in the Green Bay Jail facility in Fort Worth.
On Jan. 28, 2025, Patterson was transferred from Tarrant County and booked into the Wichita County Jail, where he was held for about a month. According to authorities, he was held in Wichita County while his paperwork was being processed to enter the prison system.
According to jail records, Patterson was booked out of the Wichita County Jail and remanded into the custody of TDCJ on Feb. 28, 2025.
A search of TDCJ's inmate records revealed that Patterson is incarcerated at the Middleton Unit in Abilene. Records indicate Patterson's projected release date is set for Nov 8, 2052. He will become eligible for parole on Sept. 29, 2036, according to TDCJ records.
Patterson has filed a notice that he will appeal his five convictions and sentences. He's hired Keith Hampton, a renowned and high-profile defense attorney from Austin, to represent him on appeal.
The most noteworthy appeal case Hampton has served as lead counsel for took place in 2019 when a high school football star in Leander named Greg Kelley was fully exonerated after serving four years of a 25-year sentence for the alleged sexual abuse of a four-year-old boy.
The case of Greg Kelley is the focus of a five-part docuseries on Showtime called Outcry.
Hampton also served as the appellate attorney for James Irven Staley, III, whose capital murder conviction for the death of 2-year-old Jason Wilder McDaniel was reversed and remanded on March 6, 2025.Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
