Ariel Castro charged with 4 counts of kidnapping and 3 counts of rape. [View all] ellisonz May 2013 OP

Only three counts of rape? Why? LiberalAndProud May 2013 #1

I presume the 4th count of kidnapping is the child, no rape charge in that regard it appears. n/t ellisonz May 2013 #3

I am sure the women are cooperating. LisaL May 2013 #14

They may only know whom they saw BlueStreak May 2013 #29

It seems like almost no one but Ariel Castro was in the house. ellisonz May 2013 #33

If you went into somebody's house and saw several doors padlocked BlueStreak May 2013 #35

Lot of unanswered questions... ellisonz May 2013 #36

These guys deserve the death penalty RebelOne May 2013 #15

The OP claims only one of them knew about it. Donald Ian Rankin May 2013 #17

That's what the DA's office is stating. ellisonz May 2013 #20

No comment on how Amanda Berry escaped due to the pending investigation. ellisonz May 2013 #16

No comment on the status of the minor or additional pregnancies. ellisonz May 2013 #18

Bizarre. Warren DeMontague May 2013 #32

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, it got worse, and now more worse. freshwest May 2013 #37

Might just be a plea deal. LisaL May 2013 #38

With the catch being potential murder charges... ellisonz May 2013 #39

I think to go for the death penalty, police would need some physical proof that fetuses were LisaL May 2013 #40

That's probably correct. ellisonz May 2013 #41

Life in prison is what they ended up with for pleading guilty, Castro deserves the same: freshwest May 2013 #45
