Teen Pleads Not Guilty In Craigslist Killings

An Ohio teen has pleaded not guilty to killing one man and attempting to kill a second in a deadly Craigslist robbery scheme that targeted older and single out of work men. Brogan Rafferty, his ankles and wrists cuffed, made a brief appearance Friday in adult felony court in Akron on charges originally filed in Noble County, where the case unfolded. Rafferty also has been chargedf with three counts of aggravated murder in Juvenile Court in Summit County. Prosecutors eventually hope to merge the cases in Adult Court in Akron. A Magistrate continued Rafferty’s one million dollar bond. His Attorney says Rafferty cannot afford it. A one-time mentor of Rafferty, 52-year-old Richard Beasley of Akron, has pleaded not guilty in the killings.
