    Teen suspect charged in Ohio Craigslist scheme

    By ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS | Associated Press – Mon, Jan 23, 2012

    COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A juvenile suspect in a deadly scheme to rob people who replied to a Craigslist job ad in Ohio now faces a new set of criminal charges.

    Sixteen-year-old Brogan Rafferty is to appear Monday afternoon before a Summit County Juvenile Court judge in Akron.

    Summit County prosecutor's spokeswoman April Wiesner says Rafferty was charged with several juvenile counts late Friday.

    Wiesner says Rafferty was charged with three counts of aggravated murder, one count of attempted murder, four counts of aggravated robbery and four counts of kidnapping.

    Those counts replace charges that Rafferty faced in Noble County before his case was transferred to Summit County.

    Rafferty's attorney, John Alexander, says Monday's hearing will involve the review of charges and allow for bond to be discussed.

      why is he in juvenile court? he's 16 that's well old enough to know you don't lure someone to the woods and then shoot and kill them. he should be tried as an adult then given the death sentence. it was premeditated murder, what's his defense? and then they want to discuss his possible bond? martha stewart wasn't allowed out on bond. I would of felt alot better with her being out than a killer.

      What the hell is wrong with Craigslist? Remind me to never associate with that website even if my life depends on it! And why can't they charge this retard as an adult? Put him in prison for about 50 freakin' years!!!

        While that may be true, I don't hear about people being killed, assaulted, raped, buying prostitutes or other criminal activity when dealing with eBay or other similiar sites. Craigslist is just a magnet for thuggery.
