Dad Accused of Executing 3 Sons in Front of Mom Wants Confession Suppressed at Trial – Crime Online

Earlier this month, lawyers for an Ohio father who allegedly killed his three sons last year filed a motion to have his confession inadmissible in court, claiming his constitutional rights were violated.

The defense asserted that Chad Doerman asked at least twice for counsel following his arrest but investigators ignored his requests. Doerman’s attorneys wrote in the latest motion that the interrogation continued for three hours even though Doerman “appeared confused and distraught,” according to WLWT.

Doerman’s lawyers also claimed that police listened in on privileged conversations Doerman had with a social worker and nurse, WKRC reported.

Doerman is set to stand trial in August for fatally shooting his three sons, ages 3, 4, and 7, on June 15, 2023. Doerman allegedly carried out the execution-style murders in front of his wife and stepdaughter. He was also accused of planning his sons’ slayings for months before doing so.

Doerman allegedly shot his 4-year-old son twice in the head in their Monroe Township home before shooting the 7-year-old as he tried to run away. The 7-year-old was wounded from behind when Doerman then shot him twice in the head from close range, according to prosecutors.

After allegedly killing his two sons, Doerman then snatched his 3-year-old son from his mother’s arms and shot him in the head. Doerman reportedly shot his children’s mother in the hand during the triple murder.

The stepdaughter reportedly fled the home on foot and found a neighbor who called the police. Before police responded to the scene, the boys’ mother apparently told a 911 dispatcher her “babies had been shot.”

The three boys were found dead in a yard, while Doerman was found sitting next to the rifle on the porch.

Doerman has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder, kidnapping, and felonious assault. Clermont County Prosecutor Mark Tekulve said he could face the death penalty due to aggravating factors in this case. Prosecutors have not revealed a motive.

A hearing on the latest motion to suppress is scheduled for February 2, according to WXIX. Prosecutors have not yet responded to the motion.
