McKane, 35, is accused of shooting and killing San Antonio Police Detective Benjamin Marconi in 2016.
The detective was shot to death as he sat in his patrol car outside Public Safety Headquarters in what prosecutors described as “a cold-blooded, unprovoked execution.”
A massive manhunt ensued until McKane was captured two days later in San Antonio.
A jury has also been chosen for this case after jury selection resumed last month.
