Acevedo

  • Acevedo

Elias Acevedo pleaded out three cases of murder and rape today. He was in court facing charges of kidnapping, rape and murder of Pamela Pemberton and Christina Adkins (in 1994 and 1995, respectively). He also faced dozens of unrelated charges of kidnapping and rape.

The plea agreement totals 445 years in prison. That prison time stems from an offer extended to Acevedo from the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office: Provide information now with the promise of no death penalty.

Acevedo will never have a chance at parole.

Scene featured Adkins’ story earlier this year, just as the investigation into her disappearance was heating up. Her remains were found in mid-October of this year in a sewer manhole near I-90.

  1. Send him on a one-man NASA mission to land on the surface of the Sun. The cost of the mission would still be a savings over taking care of this asshole for the rest of his life.
