Posted • August 4, 2024: The father who murdered his three sons cries in court as he gets sentenced to life in prison after accepting a plea deal. Ohio man Chad Doerman pleaded guilty to killing his three sons execution style. Prosecutors say he lined the boys up before pulling out a rifle and ending their lives. The boys’ mother was injured as she tried to protect them. "He just snapped. There was something going on in his life that he couldn't handle no more. I can't talk to him, they aren't letting me talk to him so I don't have any answers. He probably hid a lot of stuff from me," Doerman's father said. Prosecutors claimed Doerman had planned the executions for months. He was sentenced to three life sentences without parole. The impact statement below was read on behalf of Doerman's stepdaughter.
