Sua was serving time for robbery when he took nurse Robyn Kalahiki hostage during a half-hour standoff Sept. 20, 2000.

The standoff began after Sua was taken to the prison's medical unit complaining of an elbow injury.

It ended when he put down a razor blade and reached for the telephone during negotiations, giving guards the chance to storm the room and take him into custody.
