Plea talks push Keystone bank officials' sentencing back
Two top officials of the failed First National Bank of Keystone, Terry L. Church and Billie J. Cherry, wait to learn their prison terms after Oct. 12 2001 convictions for looting the late J. Knox McConnell estate. Sentencing, set for Jan. 7, was deferred as plea negotiations continue and pre sentence interviews are pending. The court noted co defendants will be sentenced together, with the date to be set later. Church and Cherry were convicted of more than 4.2 million dollars stolen from McConnell estate. Church also faces a prior obstruction conviction.
