Ohio father sentenced to life without parole in execution-style killings of 3 young sons
SUMMARY
An Ohio father, Chad Doerman, 33, was sentenced to life in prison without parole after pleading guilty to the execution-style murders of his three young sons: Clayton, 7; Hunter, 4; and Chase, 3. The brutal killings took place in June 2023 when Doerman shot each of his sons, despite desperate attempts by their mother, Laura Doerman, to save them. Prosecutors dropped the death penalty in exchange for Doerman's guilty plea. During the chilling court hearing, it was revealed that Doerman had been contemplating the murders for months. Despite claiming insanity, Doerman admitted to the facts, and the court ruled that he would serve three consecutive life terms.
