SINATRA FAMILY REFUSES TO LET KIDNAPPER SELL STORY

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- This won't be music to Frank Sinatra, Jr.'s ears, but the man who kidnapped him in 1963 wants to sell his story to a film company. According to a report on tonight's "Extra," convicted kidnapper Bill Keenan has negotiated a $1.5 million deal with Columbia Pictures to tell his side of the story. However, the Sinatra family has obtained a court order preventing the payment and are invoking the Son of Sam law, which prevents felons from profiting from their crimes. Keenan -- who served five years of a life sentence -- insists he'll donate all profits to charity and doesn't care one iota about the moolah. A Sinatra family lawyer says even if a judge gives Keenan the OK, any profits should go to Frank Jr. for damages he suffered in the kidnapping.
