AKRON, Ohio --
A trial date has been set for an Ohio man suspected in the shooting deaths of three men who authorities said were lured to a rural area by bogus job ads on Craigslist.
The Akron Beacon Journal reported a Summit County judge set a Jan. 7 trial date for 52-year-old Richard Beasley of Akron on Wednesday.
The self-styled chaplain pleaded not guilty in January to charges in a 27-count indictment. It included multiple counts of aggravated murder and other charges, including kidnapping.
Beasley could face the death penalty if he's convicted.
A 17-year-old co-defendant accused of helping Beasley has pleaded not guilty to juvenile counts and is set for trial Oct. 9.
A judge has prohibited attorneys on both sides from commenting on the case outside of court.
