AKRON (AP) -- Jurors in Ohio have heard testimony from a man about how
his father planned to reply to a Craigslist ad that prosecutors say led
to his slaying in 2011.
The testimony came Thursday in the
Akron trial of 53-year-old Richard Beasley. He's accused of killing
three men lured by phony Craigslist job postings.
Nicholas Kern
testified that his father, Timothy Kern, was finalizing plans to take a
job as caretaker of a large farm in Noble County.
Timothy Kern
was found shot to death in the woods behind an Akron mall where
authorities say he met Beasley to talk to about the job.
Beasley has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder and kidnapping charges.
The trial continues Friday.
