We weren't able to interview Keith's lawyers because one of them had passed away and one of them wouldn't talk to us.
Keith says, and we only have Keith's version of this, that they said that they had told him that maybe the state would drop the charges.

Why is the federal case pled out first while the state is unresolved?
Yeah, because it comes up when he's actually entering the plea in federal court.
The judge actually says, hey, what's the deal with the state prosecution?
Has this been worked out?
And the defense counsel basically says, hey, we're still working on that, which I remember we talked about this.
And you said you found that surprising that that hadn't been worked out at that point.
