A trial has been set for a black man accused of killing and dismembering 11 women

The case against Anthony Sowell is grounded in his Cleveland backyard. There, in October 2009, investigators unearthed remains of five of the 11 women - ages 25 to 52 - found on Sowell's property. Sowell faces 85 counts related to his rape, murder and dismembering of the women between 2007 and 2009 - charges to which he's pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Since the bodies were discovered, other women have come forward saying that Sowell also attacked them. In April 2010, prosecutors handed down an 10-count indictment against Sowell in connection with the rape of a 34-year-old woman in his Cleveland home. Sowell was released from prison in 2005, where he had served 15 years for attempted rape.
