CLEVELAND — A convicted rapist who lived among 10 corpses was ordered held without bond today as investigators prepared to begin tearing apart walls inside the house in search of more evidence or bodies.

Anthony Sowell appeared in court under tight security, wearing a blue paper jumpsuit typically used when an inmate might be a suicide risk. His wrists and ankles were manacled, and he walked into court staggering slightly.

There are a lot of sickos out there and this guy is near the top of the list. Give him the death penalty like he deserves.

His eyes say it all he does not care who her hurts....barf. A needle would be the best thing for his victims families. He should have to hear a victim statement from everyone of them. I hope this can bring closure to the families.

Unfortunately, he will while his days away in prison at a cost of 50,000 a year to the tax payers.
He’ll be fed three meals a day, have his free meds regulated by doctors and be provided heat, AC and showers
and clean laundry. He will never have to lift a finger ever again…His mental illness will preclude him from being executed……That is Pathetic.

The public defender reports that Mr Sowell has "medical problems" and that he was "laid off two years ago and receives unemployment compensation." Did this chick have a straight face when providing the judge with this info.
