Update
The trial for an Ohio teen charged with participating in a deadly scheme resumes again Friday.

Rafferty has been charged with killing three men along with his mentor, 53-year-old Richard Beasley.
A fourth victim was shot and injured but escaped.
Rafferty could face life in prison if convicted of the attacks.

Original Story
Prosecutors have presented new evidence against the Ohio teen accused of participating in a deadly scheme to lure victims with phony Craigslist job offers.
The prosecution said in court Wednesday that a suitcase full of weapons was found in 17-year-old Brogan Rafferty's bedroom.
Jurors viewed images of a sawed-off shotgun, a .22-caliber pistol, other weapons and ammunition. Authorities say they recovered the cache from his bedroom last fall.
The Associated Press reports than none of the weapons has been conclusively linked to the three men Rafferty is accused of killing with his mentor, 53-year-old Richard Beasley. A fourth victim was shot and injured but escaped.
Rafferty, who is being tried as an adult, could face life in prison if convicted of the attacks. Beasley is being tried separately.
