AKRON -- The trial of Richard Beasley, the man who prosecutors say used phony Craigslist ads to lure murder victims, starts its second day.
Summit County Judge Lynne Callahan began the trial Monday afternoon after completing jury selection earlier in the day.
Beasley, 53, is facing murder charges, among many others. Three men were killed and a fourth man was wounded. Scott Davis escaped and alerted authorities in 2011.
Davis is testifying Tuesday morning as to how he found the Craigslist job, communicating with a man named 'Jack.'
Prosecutors argue Beasley placed that ad the victims to a farm hand job in Caldwell, Ohio.
The state began its testimony Tuesday. A physician, Dr. Michelle Moreno of Akron, testified that a man known as Ralph Geiger visited the Akron Community Resources Clinic twice requesting pain medicines in September of 2011.
Dr. Moreno said she felt the man had dyed his hair and beard.
Alex Hartke testified that he was a co-worker of 'Geiger' during the fall of 2011 at Waltco Lift Company. He identified the man he knew as 'Geiger' as Richard Beasley.
Lois Hood also testified. She's the wife of Jerry 'Country' Hood, a friend of Beasley's from the Brother's Motorcycle Club. The Hoods own farm property in Caldwell, Ohio, where the bodies of two victims were found.
Jeff Shockling testified to his experience. Shockling called authorities after Scott Davis, the victim who got away, arrived at his mother's home asking for help. He describes Davis as bloodied, scared and nervous.
Beasley could face the death penalty if convicted. His teenage co-defendant Brogan Rafferty, too young to face the death penalty, already was convicted and sentenced to life in prison without chance of parole.
The trial is expected to last up to six weeks.
