Attorney Kenneth Kahn dies after climbing fall
Around the South Bay, Kenneth Kahn, 66, was well-known in legal circles for not only his representation of high-profile criminals like Andrew Daulton Lee, but also because he became the quasi poster boy for court security after he was stabbed in the chest by one of his clients at the Torrance Courthouse in 1987.

Larry Altman has covered crime in the South Bay since 1990. He's seen it all - the missing model who turned up dead in the desert, the wives found dead in trunks, the high-school coaches who get a little too close to their players. He drives his young colleagues nuts with his "I remember when" stories. He welcomes your tips and observations about the present, and you can mix in a little Lakers basketball talk if you like.

Hi, I read and are very saddened by the loss of a fine man Kenneth Kahn. We both attended Lincoln High together for 3 years, he was an A student who graduated with honors. He was selected school president by the school students in his senior year of 1958.
He started as a catcher for the baseball team and also played football. I was the pitcher of the team.
He was very outgoing and liked by everyone, intelligent and funny person and know that
he will be missed. I lost contact with him after HS graduation but I remember him as a very friendly and likeable person that I admired.
My condolences to family members,
H.F. Rodriguez
