Craigslist Killer Waives Right To a Speedy Trial
Accused killer

AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- There won't be a trial soon for an Ohio man
suspected in the shooting deaths of three men lured to a rural area
by bogus job listings on Craigslist.
Fifty-two-year-old Richard Beasley appeared in court Wednesday
in Akron and waived his right to a speedy trial, a common move that
allows more legal preparation time.
The self-styled chaplain from Akron has pleaded not guilty to
aggravated murder and attempted murder in the slayings of three men
and the wounding of a fourth. He could face the death penalty if
convicted.
According to the Akron Beacon Journal (http://bit.ly/xfsP5F),
Beasley shielded his face from photographers, which he has done
before in court. He says he wants to avoid contaminating the jury
pool.
A 17-year-old co-defendant has pleaded not guilty to juvenile
counts.
