An illegal immigrant from Honduras was convicted in a series of rapes near Rutgers University that struck fear into the campus and surrounding neighborhood for more than two years.
A Superior Court jury in Middlesex County convicted Ricardo Cepates on Tuesday of all but one of 27 counts of kidnapping, raping, and sometimes robbing his victims.
The trial included three days of testimony in which laboratory experts said genetic testing conclusively proved that Cepates raped four women and a teenage girl between September 2001 and June 2003.
.He still faces trial on charges of attacking four other women, one of whom was raped in her home.
Cepates faces life in prison without parole when he is sentenced in February by Superior Court Judge Frederick DeVesa. His lawyer, Christian Fleming, said he was "obviously disappointed with the jury's verdict and will be looking into filing an appeal."
During the trial, each of the victims recounted the attacks in which they were grabbed and threatened with a knife, or in one case, a broken beer bottle, as they walked in the evening or early morning hours.
One of the Rutgers students said she was savagely beaten, sustaining a broken jaw and cheekbone.
"I was terrified," the woman told the jury last week. "I thought I was going to die."
That's unfortunate...
You and I probably wouldn't be candidates to take up residency in London, no? lol
The Green River Killer here in WA state murdered over 46 people. The prosecutor(?) settled for life so the victims' families would have "closure." Guess what penalty will NEVER be able to be levied here in WA again? For if 46 won't get you death, how could one, two, or five? IMHO The prosecutor should also have gotten a few years for his perfidy.
Yes, it was an interesting movie.
It's absolutely stunning, isn't it?! (sigh)
Right On----London was a nice place years ago but shot to hell now--I was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1922---went back fot 2 weeks in '47 after I was discharged from WW2---left and never looked back---wouldn't live in any city, even if someone paid my rent--cheers
I would say unbelieveable, but it is all too...
Enjoyed your home page, sir! :)
Thank God for peace that surpasses...
Yes! Which reminds me, it is almost my Election Vigil Prayer Warrior time :) Nite all!
bttt
Uhhh, yeah. How'd you guess?!
Repulsive picture. Your tag line is TRUE!
Raping the girls that American citizens won't rape.
It's all her fault. Why, if she had just wlecomed his diversity and celebrated his culture, he wouldn't have had to do this to her. I'm sure the prosecutor didn't take this obvious truth into account.
/liberal hand wringing blubbering rationalization
Sorry about the pic but I kind of figured it was topic and generally subject appropriate. It kind of depicts how so many of these criminal vermin feel about their host country. Thx re: tagline.
Don't be sorry about the pic. Maybe it will give people in the non-invaded states an idea of the scum we look at on a daily basis. I think that some of them have NO idea, and they have NO idea of the huge numbers that reside in our states. They'll realize it sooner than they think!
