The jury decided Anthony Sowell to be guilty on

(24) (25) An Ohio jury Friday found Anthony Sowell guilty in connection with the kidnapping, abuse of corpses and murder of 11 women around Cleveland between 2007 and 2009. (24) Sowell had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to all 85 counts against him, which also included rape and tampering with evidence. The defense did not call witnesses or present any evidence during the trial and rested Tuesday. That paved the way for closing arguments, and by Wednesday, the case was in the jury’s hands.
