AKRON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio teen is set to be sentenced
Monday for his role in killing and robbing three men and trying to kill a
fourth in a deadly Craigslist robbery scheme.
Seventeen-year-old
Brogan Rafferty of suburban Stow faces a maximum sentence of life in
prison with no chance of parole when he is sentenced in an Akron
courtroom.
Rafferty was convicted last week of murder and
attempted murder. Because he’s a juvenile, he wasn’t eligible for the
death penalty.
Rafferty’s co-defendant, 53-year-old alleged
triggerman Richard Beasley of Akron, goes on trial in January. He could
face the death penalty.
The victims were targeted because they
were older, single, out-of-work men with backgrounds that made it
unlikely their disappearances would be noticed right away.
