14 DAY TRIAL // A man accused of killing three people after luring them by posting a job offer on Craigslist, has been found guilty.
As I reported yesterday, Richard Beasley, a former street-preacher, was on trial for theft, identity fraud and the killing of Ralph Geiger, of Akron, David Pauley of Norfolk, and Timothy Kern, from Massillon.
"He was the mastermind behind this plot," prosecutor Jonathan Baumoel told the jurors before they started deliberating on the case.
According to News Australia, it only took them a few hours to find the man guilty, and he might now face the death penalty.
His accomplice and apprentice, 16-year-old Brogan Rafferty has also been convicted of murder and is serving life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The jury is set to return to court and decide whether or not Beasley should be sentenced to death. I will keep you updated as the case progresses.
