Clabon Terrel Bernaird, 23; Kiyoshi A. Higashi, 22; and Joshua N. Reese, 20, pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, robbery and assault. The men are accused of killing a man in a house break-in in Pierce County, Washington. The victim, James Sanders, and his wife has posted an ad on Craigslist in the hopes of selling a diamond ring for $1050. A couple responded to the post, agreeing to meet at the Sanders' home just outside of Tacoma, Washington. When they arrived they pulled out a handgun, restrained Sanders, his wife, and their two children with handcuffs. In an attempt to free himself and help his children, Sanders was shot and killed. The suspects face seventy years in prison and a two million dollar bail.
It has almost come to the point where it is dangerous to post things online. Something as simple as trying to sell a ring may result in murder. Craigslist needs to better regulate who is allowed to visit their site or create an account. I think that if something was done to implement this tactic the buyers and the sellers would be a lot safer. A part of it, too, is common sense. The two parties involved in the sale of an item or a service should not overlook any effort in making sure the other party is safe and responsible when creating plans to come into contact with each other.
