After months of hearings and competency tests Castro decided to accept a plea deal offered by the prosecution and not go to trial. Ariel Castro will spend the rest of his life behind bars with no possibility of parole. An extra 1,000 years was tacked onto his sentence in order to make sure the Cleveland kidnapper will never walk free.

Amanda Berry, Michelle Knight and Gina DeJesus were all raped and brutalized by Castro, but it seems Knight was treated the worst. Knight told investigators she became pregnant by Castro five-times and each time her pregnancy was ended as a result of starvation and daily beatings.

It has been speculated that Michelle Knight will take the stand today and speak to the court about her ten-year ordeal with Castro. It is possible however, that Michelle Knight will change her mind and not speak. The other two women have the same option. The prosecution mentioned earlier in the case they would not rule out seeking the death penalty for Castro's crimes against Knight, if he did go to trial.
Castro is expected to speak today as well as the attorneys for both sides and a number of other witnesses. According to the Associated Press the prosecution is expected to give numerous details about the abuse the three women endured. A live stream of the courtroom shows a model house, likely to be used by the prosecution in order to depict how and where the women were held captive.
