Navy Court Martial Sentences McKeon for Disgraceful Conduct
The court martial sentenced McKeon to nine months imprison ment and a $30 monthly fine, with a bad conduct discharge. His pay would be reduced and he would be demoted to private, losing $118 monthly and serving at a naval disciplinary barracks. The record will go to the Secretary of the Navy for review. McKeon remains at Parris Island as a clerk to the Catholic chaplain, wife and two children at Port Royal. Public reaction at the First Marine Division reunion in New York largely viewed the sentence as too harsh, with many saying he was railroaded.
