Published: March 12, 2009
TALLAHASSEE - A state panel has commuted the sentence of an 88-year-old retiree to time served for a series of drive-by shootings into the home of a neighbor who owed him money.
The Florida Board of Executive Clemency, chaired by Gov. Charlie Crist, agreed Thursday to release Donald Keehn. He has served about half of a five-year prison term.
Keehn is wheelchair bound and suffers from multiple illnesses including congestive heart failure and prostate and skin cancer.
He was 85 when he took potshots at the St. Petersburg home of the woman who had refused to pay back money he had lent her.
The panel agreed to release Keehn after his lawyer promised he would leave Florida and live with his daughter in Joliet, Ill.
