O Keefe seeks to avoid Pennsylvania jail term in Brink’s case
BOSTON AP Joseph J Specs O Keefe the Brink s robber who testified against his accomplices and helped send them to life terms begins a fight to avoid a 3 to 12 year sentence in Pennsylvania. He was convicted in McKean County in 1954 and was being held on bail in Massachusetts pending appeal. State officials plan to pursue his return to western Pennsylvania noting the Supreme Court upheld the sentence. District Attorney Garrett H Byrne of Suffolk County opposes returning him, warning it could provoke retaliation from associates. O Keefe s earlier 1950 charges stem from the Brink s heist and gun cases with Towanda jail terms already served. He was released June 22 and disappeared.
