Criminal Juctice- Only answer multiply choice question, no explanation required

Between 2002 and 2004, Ariel Castro kidnapped three young women and held them prisoner in his Cleveland, Ohio home. Held against their will for ten years, the women were beaten, raped, starved. In May 2013, one of the women screamed for help when she saw neighbors through a screen door. Hours later, the two other women were rescued and Castro was arrested. Over the course of two months, 977 charges were brought against Castro including kidnapping, rape, and aggravated murder for the intentional induction of five miscarriages. Castro pled guilty to 937 of the 977 charges in a plea bargain that spared him the death penalty.
