Craigslist Murder Suspect Waives Speedy Trial

There won’t be a trial soon for an Ohio man suspected in the shooting deaths of three men lured to Noble County by bogus job listings on Craigslist. 52-year-old Richard Beasley appeared in court Wednesday in Akron and waived his right to a speedy trial, a common move that allows more legal preparation time. The self-styled chaplain from Akron has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder and attempted murder in the slayings of three men and the wounding of a fourth. He could face the death penalty is convicted. A 17-year-old co-defendant has pleaded not guilty to juvenile counts.
