Gunman in Craigslist case to do 14 years:

A year and a half ago I posted about a craigslist robbery in Trotwood, Ohio. In that robbery the victim was literally shot in the face, through his jaw if memory serves me correctly. Thankfully the victim survived.

At that time there wasn’t a lot of details that was until now. Last week the gunman, Keron Simpson, was sentenced to 14 years for the robbery and the shooting. That’s in addition to his 33 to life sentence for another robbery and a fatal shooting.

The victim got the opportunity to address Simpson at the sentencing and took full advantage of it…

That victim, Chris Voudris, was in the Montgomery County Common Pleas courtroom during the sentencing hearing on Wednesday and asked Simpson to “look me in the eye.” He told Simpson that “soon you will be nothing to society but a number” the rest of his life, an allusion to his future as a prison inmate.

In case you needed another reason not to do business on craigslist this should be it.

Craigslist robbery victim recovering from bullet in jaw:

You know I’ve been spending so much time on the human trafficking aspect of craigslist I guess I should remind you of some of the other dangerous aspects of craigslist, such as armed robbery or getting shot in the face.

That’s exactly what happened to one man from Trotwood, Ohio who was selling a dirt bike on craigslist. The victim and woman met two men when one of the men shot the seller in the jaw and ran off with the dirt bike. Luckily the victim’s injuries are non-life threatening.

Police in the area say there have been a rash crimes related to dirt bikes, motorcycles and ATVs that are craigslist related.

Or you can keep using craigslist, your call.
