AKRON, Ohio - An Akron jury has begun its second full day of deliberations in the case of a teenager accused of participating in the slayings of three men lured by phony craigslist job offers.
A 12-person Akron jury resumed deliberations Monday morning after getting the case late Thursday.
Prosecutors have portrayed defendant Brogan Rafferty as a full accomplice in the crimes while his defense attorney argues he was a scared child stuck in a horrible situation.
The 17-year-old faces life in prison without chance of parole if convicted of aggravated murder in the shooting deaths of the men last year.
Authorities said the mastermind behind the plan is Richard Beasley.
One man was killed near Akron and two more in Noble County.
A fourth man was shot in eastern Ohio but survived.
