Under a plea agreement announced in court, Ohio prosecutors agreed that Castro will not be eligible for the death penalty. Castro was charged with 977 counts including kidnapping and rape for snatching the women, holding them in captivity, and brutalizing them for years.
Why no trial and a death penalty?
stupid. he should be sent to hell where he belongs.
What a monster! I’ve never understood why HaShem allows such wicked people to walk amongst Us. I suppose they show Us what depths of depravity it is possible for Us humans to sink to, but… again, I am confused. What did these poor girls ever do to “deserve” such things happening to them?! Only G-d can understand & fully see the big picture.
I don’t know what the Torah would say about a criminal such as this, but I very seriously doubt he would be afforded 3 hot meals & a cot to sleep on for the rest of his life, if TRUE justice was being dispensed here.
Unbelievable that they let him cop to a plea to spare his own life. I think he knew that if there were a jury trial & ALL of the evidence was presented & testimony was given… that the facts in the case would be SO horrific, the jury would have had no choice but to give him the death penalty!
The only good outcome of this, is that those poor young women won’t have to testify now. Maybe they really can move on w\their lives somehow, once they know this monster will be locked up forever.
Poor little souls… I thank G-d often they were rescued!
And who is going to subsidize his living for as long as he lives?
