Now this is an offer he can't refuse
Not that we have the slightest shred of sympathy for him and do believe he deserves every minute of his sentence, but even the toughest Mafia Godfather would love this sentence.
The Cleveland man accused of holding three women captive in his home for a decade entered a guilty plea on Friday in order to avoid the death penalty.And after the judge makes up his mind, the next choice is general population or solitary. Either way he is fucked, but one way will still let him shit normally.
The defendant, Ariel Castro, 53, pleaded guilty to 937 counts, including rape and kidnapping, in a plea agreement with prosecutors. Under the deal, he would spend life in prison without parole and receive 1,000 additional years.
“I will plead guilty because of the plea deal,” Mr. Castro said in court.
In a hearing on Friday morning, Judge Michael Russo of the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court reviewed the charges with Mr. Castro and asked him whether he understood that he would not leave prison before he died. Mr. Castro said that he understood the agreement. The judge must decide whether to accept the deal. The sentencing hearing is scheduled for Aug. 1.
