Washington State authorities his whereabouts remain unknown. Young was born in 1911; if still alive as of , he would be about years old. According to the San Francisco Examiner, April 16, 1941, the Defense stated in court that Henri Young was locked up in solitary confinement for over three years. This is taken directly from the paper, "Emphasis which they repeatedly laid on the fact that Young was in isolation or solitary confinement for more than three years—and that he drove his knife into McCain’s abdomen just eleven days after release from such confinement, made it clear that the defense hopes to show not only that Young was “punch-drunk” but that the punches were administered by the Alcatraz "system". Four other prisoners attempted to escape Alcatraz with Young, not just two. One of the men omitted from the film (Dale Stamphill) has the same last name as Young's lawyer. Many of the ideas in the movie were taken directly from newspaper articles of the trials, including the ending scene where the jury only convicts Young of manslaughter, and requests that Alcatraz be investigated.

Reception On review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes, Murder in the First has a score of 54% based on reviews from 39 critics. The site's consensus states: "Despite a strong cast and story inspired by incredible real-life events, Murder in the First is strictly second rate." Though Bacon received a positive notices for his performance, critics negatively cited the film's handheld camera shots, scenes of brutality, and underdeveloped characters. Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote, "'Murder in the First' lacks an all-important core of emotion. It tries to find it in the growing friendship between the lawyer and the client on trial for murder, with scenes of the lawyer trying to draw the convict out — and of the two men talking freely. But the friendship never seems more than a device." Roger Ebert gave the film 2 out of 4 stars, and said Slater "is an actor with talent, but he is too young for this role, and not confident enough to dial [his performance] down a little." Screenwriter
