Ariel Castro, who was accused of kidnapping and three counts of rape for holding three women captive in his home for nearly a decade, agreed to plead guilty in a deal to avoid the death penalty. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, but one month into his sentence, he committed suicide in his jail cell. Three women, ages 14, 16, and 20 years old, disappeared separately from 2002 to 2004 in Cleveland, Ohio. They were held captive in his home for about a decade. During that time, the women were chained in the basement, repeatedly assaulted, and raped. When they attempted to escape, he severely punished them. He starved one woman until she had a miscarriage. On May 6, 2013, one woman escaped while Castro was away from home and went to a neighbor's house to call 911. "Help me, I've been kidnapped, and I've been missing for 10 years. And I'm here. I'm free now." Question: Assess the pros and cons of the pre-bargaining outcomes in the Ariel Castro case. Do you agree to the use of plea bargaining in heinous crimes like this?
