"Craigslist" Suspect Goes On Trial Today

Trial begins today for a second defendant charged in the shooting deaths of three men and the wounding of a fourth lured to Eastern Ohio with phony on-line job offers. 53-year-old Richard Beasley has pleaded not guilty. Teenager Brogan Rafferty was sentenced to life in prison last November. Prosecutors have portrayed Beasley as an ex-con street preacher and Rafferty's mentor.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
