An Ohio judge rules investigators cannot use the confession of a man accused of killing his sons as his constitutional rights were violated.
The statement from an Ohio man, who confessed to police that he killed his family, can no longer be used in court following a judge’s ruling that his constitutional rights were violated. Clermont County Common Pleas Judge Richard Ferenc wrote in a ruling that authorities failed to appropriately notify Chad Doerman, 33, of his Miranda rights, including his right against self-incrimination and his right to an attorney, before investigators interrogated him.
In Ferenc’s ruling, which was made public last week, he said Doerman's Miranda rights 'were violated' because detectives 'failed to properly and fully advise Doerman of them prior to initiating the Custodial Interrogation and all statements obtained from Doerman during the Custodial Interrogation shall be suppressed and the State shall not adduce any of these statements in their case-in-chief,' WLWT reported.
In June, Doerman was arrested after police responded to the home in Monroe Township and found him sitting outside with a rifle. According to court documents, Doerman was watching the mother, who was shot in the hand during the frantic situation, attempting life-saving aid to one of the boys in the yard. During the arrest, Doerman repeatedly confessed to fatally shooting the boys, court documents show. 'The defendant made multiple statements to law enforcement, such as 'I did it.
Doerman first appeared in court on June 16, one day after the murders. During the hearing, David Gast, assistant Clermont County prosecutor, told the judge that the alleged crimes were 'the most serious offense that we have on the books.' 'This is it. You can't commit a more serious offense,' Gast added, per WCPO. Doerman later pleaded not guilty to the murders on June 23 and the judge ordered he be held in the Clermont County jail on a $20 million cash bond.
