Trial Brings Bizarre Revelations in Sinatra Jr Case
In a Los Angeles court a flood of strange testimony emerged from friends of defendants Barry Keenan and Joseph Amsler. A Culver City housewife described ransom money tossed playfully while defendants joked about a Monopoly set with real money. Other witnesses said Keenan offered money to participate and helped rehearse the abduction. Sinatra Sr reportedly fled the country to Tokyo amid court drama as Sinatra Jr was subpoenaed. The bank detailed how $239,985 of $240,000 was placed in the ransom case after three $5 bills jammed the microfilm. Sinatra Sr billed for about $2,000. Additional accounts described Money scattered on a floor and shoes removed as the group played with cash.
