And in a separate rebuke, a three-judge federal appeals panel declared that the evidence of his guilt is "not overwhelming." That means Keating is no longer a criminal in the eyes of the law--but he is a deadbeat. He still faces roughly $5.2 billion in civil judgments against him stemming from Lincoln's collapse.

During Gregory's first evening with Hannah, Rose asks her mother to quit her interrogation and go prepare desert: "I've raised two daughters, I've buried a husband, I've made my coffee," she responds in perfect deadpan. Mimi Rogers is equally vicious...
