About Ariel Castro's lawyers

12. There is no point in a not guilty claim here

There's four living witnesses. And all the people who were around as they hauled those women out of the house.

The only possible strategy is plea bargain for life in prison, and that's what the lawyers are going for. Thus the not guilty plea right now.

If it comes to trial and one of those girls gets on the stand talking about the reconstructive surgery on her face she needed because she was so savagely beaten and the social worker gets on the stand to talk about the little kid who spent the first six years of life imprisoned in a sex dungeon and there is a death penalty charge, this guy is almost certainly gonna fry.

This is so depraved that it's apparent that even the prosecutors are looking for other charges because of the gravity of the crimes involved.

Obviously an insanity plea is not an option.

I know the lawyers are just doing their job, or trying to, but I would have had a hard time not slapping the one who said that if I was nearby. That's a thing I've never done or wanted to do or thought about justifying, but my reaction to that statement is so visceral!

Of course the guy IS a monster.

I happen to think that he should be allowed to plead for LWOP. In a maximum security prison for the rest of his life. No other human life should ever be placed at the mercy of this guy's sadism.
