6. Interesting, the prosecutor had mentioned possibly charging him with a count of kidnapping

for each day he held each of the three victims which would have been well over 2,000 counts.

The 329 is manageable seems reasonable. The only one that maybe hard to prove is the aggravated murder depending upon what evidence they have. I have a feeling that one is there to leave the possibility of going after him with the death penalty (most people including myself would rather see him rot in prison).

I think he's going to have to plead out to avoid the death penalty. Of course looking at Ohio's history it appears they haven't actually carried out an execution in the last five years and several people's sentences have been commuted by both Governor Strickland and Kasich.
