Make Keating Pay, Investor Lawyer Urges: A lawyer for small investors in now-defunct American Continental Corp. asked jurors in a civil trial in Tucson to send a message that citizens will no longer tolerate the sort of fraud that former Lincoln Savings & Loan owner Charles H. Keating Jr. allegedly committed. “You’ve got to tell America that you’re not going to let the petrodollars of the world or the Wall Street dollars . . . feed upon those people,” Joseph W. Cotchett said, pointing to about a dozen elderly investors sitting in the courtroom.
