Inside Ariel Castro's house
The house where Cleveland bus driver Ariel Castro imprisoned and raped three women is set to be demolished. These pictures are part of the evidence that would have been led against him at trial.

An Ohio judge on Thursday sentenced Cleveland kidnapper Ariel Castro to life in prison for abducting, raping and holding captive three women for as long as 11 years, and murder for forcing one of the women to abort her pregnancy. Cuyahoga County Judge Michael Russo imposed the prison sentence after an emotional court hearing at which one of Castro's victims, Michelle Knight, 32, said the former school bus driver put her through a life of hell.AARON JOSEFCZYK/Reuters
