In 1996, U.S. District Judge John Davies overturned their convictions, ruling that the jury in the 1993 case was prejudiced by rulings against the elder Keating at the state level. In April 1999, federal prosecutors agreed to a plea bargain with the elder Keating in which all outstanding charges were dismissed against his son.
Keating III’s son, Charles Keating IV, graduated from Arcadia High in 2004 and went on to compete for the Cross Country team at Indiana University.
