This is wrong. It is NOT JUSTICE.
@@auntbee1959 You must think the Mother and daughter didn't wanna go to court proceedings or trial and relive that horrible traumatic Day😢😢😢
DP would have been justice but I understand his wife and step daughter not mentally able to go through a trial.
He looks too ok with it all, quite disturbing
It is for the victims who are impacted, as they won’t have to go through the trauma of reliving this (which I’m sure they do every day regardless), but it is a blatant display of cowardice on the murderer’s part. Can dish it out but not take it like a man, as it were. He doesn’t even try to appear contrite.
Such a coward. He's afraid to die. Imagine how afraid his children were.
Those poor little boys. 🥲🥲🥲
Takes my breath away when I think about it
I think he is doing this to torture the mother more! He is a monster!
@jeanninekobylski6440 just terrible. Those poor beautiful children.
When the ookice went to arrest him he quickly submitted and threw himself on the ground. 🤧😠
Some people shouldn't be eligible for a plea deal.
Agree!
Agree
Saves the family from a horrible trial and tax payers money. I think the family has to agree to it. I have heard that before.
I so agree!!!
@therealz360z7 nonsense
How does this man that killed 3 young boys that we're his children get a plea deal! Disgusting!
He takes their life mercilessly then pleads for his own. He's a coward and a sorry excuse for a human being.
Perhaps the wife and daughter wanted it. Could you imagine having to testify about that horrific day? 💔💔🥲🥲
@@tina2226 Exactly!!
Seems like they are more concerned with saving money instead of justice.
@@JimmyBoyle-kq5tdor maybe they’re more concerned about not having the ex wife and step daughter reliving the nightmare they already endure on a daily basis. Think about that
I know the survivors had to agree to this plea deal and I know they did not want to go through a trial; but if anyone deserves the death penalty this man does. He is getting off easy.
@@pitbullmom6323 he is getting off easy now but when he gets where he is going.
The state can talk with the Survivors/ family members of the victims, but they don't have to agree to it. It is all up the state processor. Victims family members don't get a say.
Aren’t plea deals cheaper for tax payers in the long run? I’m sure that’s a factor
@@BrittanyjustgoesSurely less than feeding and housing him for life.
Life without parole in Ohio prison for a child murderer means many inmates are not going to like him. He is not going to last. He will still die in prison but he will not have his plea deal overturned the same way a death penalty is automatically appealed. When they questioned him without the attorney they messed up and gave him a potential reason to not get sentenced to death. I think he would have likely gotten the life without parole.
Those poor boys didn't get a plea deal.
What a coward. He should be denied protective custody. General population only.
@@patrickpatrick9132 100%!
Prisons wouldn't make any money like that.
He will be in PC just like Chris Watts. Ridiculous
Inmates will find justice for these little boys. Inmates see these trials and know what the inmates go in for.
A child killer will have a very unpleasant and potentially deadly prison experience.
You bet!
He will have to be kept in solitary confinement or he’s a deadman
He will be in PC because he’s a punk coward and taken care of better than GP this is the sorry excuse for a justice system we have unfortunately
That ain’t true !
1000’s of CHILD killers are in prison…. Eating, watching tv, exercising, having visitors!
QUIT your lying!
Agreed, he will never know who is coming and going and where he will be transferred from one week to the next and will the Prison Guards be able to step in and help him if his life is threatened? Maybe they'll be a little slow to respond.
He's a monster
Karma will get him.
No. he's Human.
The guys a coward he knew he'd get death penalty so he's took plea deal to save his own miserable life, he took his 3 innocent little boys lifes without a thought ,he's a disgrace 🤨
This case just breaks my heart...
These children did not get a choice to live, why should doorman be given a chance to live?
I guess so the family doesn’t have to sit through a trial.
The family had to agree to the plea deal, so that’s what they chose.
Going to trial would have been another year possibly, of tremendous emotional upset for them, including world wide exposure, at least this way, it’s over and they can move on.🫶💙💙💙✨
@@andreakass820but it will never, ever, really be over. RIP little angels.
Death penalty is waiting inside the jail
From your lips to Gods ears!
This POS will be protected.
Nay they don't care there just a f up as him
@@fretziegelsana7975 Yessssss 💯 but wonder why no one has already gave him the death penalty?? Does anyone know how he has been making it in prison
He’ll be in protective custody with the child
abusers! Someone can still get to him if they really want to…a lifer with no parole has nothing to lose
If he’s not eligible for the death penalty, or they took it off the table then who the hell is
he pled to avoid the death penalty because (shocker) he’s not mentally ill, he planned the execution of those boys.
Need you ask smdh!!!!
Seriously though. This is as bad as it gets
Where was it stated he wasn't eligible?
@@Marlene_CC he was eligible but that shouldn’t have given him a plea deal.
What he did was the most heartbreaking thing I have ever seen. What was happening in his children's minds as he hunted them and shot them is unthinkable. I pray the children's Mother and Sister find their way to peace in the future.
I didn’t think anybody in my life would top Chris Watts but here we are..
Impossible.
U are right , I thought Chris watts was worst but this is much worse case if people can death penalty for killing how about this father.
Why is Judge being so polite, and accommodating to the Satan ?
@@lindarickard1121 so he doesn’t seem bias and give a reason to appeal
he executed his 3 baby boys in cold blood. How did this guy get a plea deal? how is that possible?laws must be changed
The victims all agreed…saves them years of reliving the horror and stress in court. He won’t live long in prison once they find out what he did.
Almost all guilty cases are given plea deals. It prevents a trial for both the defendant and the victims (defendant is enticed by making the plea deal have lesser charges and by extension, lesser sentences).
Trials cost money. He is guilty, why waste time and money to try a guilty person when there are innocent people waiting for their trial? The court, the defense, the prosecutor, etc can focus on other matters.
Trials also have jurors which are unpredictable (Casey Anthony, OJ, etc)
Pleas ensure a conviction.
He is accepting responsibility and punishment. What more do you want? If your answer is fueled by revenge, you are being selfish.
What a dumb take; yeah let's just throw out due process for all people because you're too emotional to understand what a plea deal is or why we have them. I'm not saying this guy is innocent, but I sure hope you never get falsely accused of a crime, because you WILL want the right to plea. God what a stupid take
no one wanted to relive that day...
No one in the county wanted to be on the jury, either. Plus, it done & over w/ court wise in less than a year... the lawyers didn't even want to it.
(Not, not defend him but the emotional troll it has taken on the community.)
The photos, the reactions, all the testimonies, especially the Mother did not want it. But the prosecution was
Pls...
*BEGGING LET ME DO IT, ILL DO IF YOU WANT ME, TOO*
🤦♀️🤯🤦♂️😅🤣🤨
@@uggggggghhhhh as far as c.antony & g.zimmerman the charge was set way 2 HIGH to achieve... pressure from the community, family can make prosecutors overly reach to pls the masses.
Then the jury, wherever incident took place those are suppose to be your peers, not those where you raised. brought of those I know would be not guilty. the what ever ua call it, was not there to prove intent @ the level of charge because for no one never said, ( I ) did this or that... intentionality is everything
Death penalty should be manditory when found guilty or plead guilty for harming children
And three children for sure!!!!
If you pay tax, that's where it will go!
If any law should be changed is the DP needs to be carried out much more quickly especially in such a positively positive case.
*mandatory
Exactly! *Mandatory* !
Why did he get a plea deal?! Stop offering these horrible people deals! Makes me sick
Save money 💰
Perhaps it’s the best thing for the surviving victims to not have to go through a trial?
Hell never see the light of day again regardless. But a large factor has to do with the victims/family's. It's a long long process and reliving it, or even risking losing, not worth it. Hell get the same thing either way. No way they'd give the dp with the mental health claims
@@cinnabun715 that’s exactly what the prosecuting attorney said after this hearing was done
@@Salty-cracker68How much money does it save when you have to feed them and take care of their health care for the next fifty plus years??
Alexis was truly hero on this day. I had no idea what she did to try and save her brothers. I hope she & her mum are surrounded by love and receiving the best treatment for the ongoing life long damage they have suffered at the hands of this monster.
It always amazes me that such obvious killers don’t want to die! Did he think that the three little ones wanted to die…. ?
They didn't even get to plea for their precious lives
He didn't think. He thought only on how they were weapons towards mom.
And they always say they had a temporary mental break. Using mental illness as an excuse.
Throw away the keys
they have........
And no protective custody either. Let him be in the general population where he can be around other MEN who may take issue with him hurting children.
@@tmoore04ify hope so
Give the guy a break, we all have rough days.
@@aaronburns9538I think you would think differently if they were your kids!😡😡
To the inmates currently in prison, let me thank you ahead of time. I'm confident that this piece of garbage will be served some justice from you men. Men with children of their own that want so desperately to be a father in the lives of their children. Thank you for standing up for those beautiful babies. 🥰
@patriciamurfitt4590. Thank you very much for your comment, if I may I’d like to add to it. I hope the gutless wonder spends a lot of time on his knees, and I don’t mean praying, I hope he meets his future husband in there, a huge lifer, who is generous enough to share him around with his other lifer mates. My heart really hurts for the beautiful boys, their sister Alexis and their darling mother, I hope they are at peace and I send my love and empathy for Mom and sister.
At least the mother doesn’t have to go through the horror of a trial- quick justice is justice served.
Enjoy prison, bud.
I'm sure when the other inmates hear about this they will talk care of this in their own way...
Do l think Chad Doerman should have got the death penalty?, absolutely, but l take
some comfort in knowing that
he will never be an free man again and he has to watch his
back constantly. RIP Clayton,
Hunter and Chase, justice has
been served.🙏
They’ll get his behind quick!
Yes but he will be still breathing its not right.
The Judge forgot to add.......'Chad Doerman you will be in Prison until you take your last breath.
He gets three meals a day gets to talk,laugh and go out for fresh air everyday,while those little boys lay in the earth because of this monster.. imagine how terrified those boys and their Mother and sister were.

He’s not gonna be doing a lot of laughing.
He is going to have an EXTREMELY tough time in prison.
We can pray
A coward if I've ever seen one!! Killed those babies for no good reason! Take yourself if things were so bad🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
He wanted to hurt their mother. Hope she's able to find someone to truly love her and her daughter. That she's able to be mentally stable because I know she'll never be able to fully heal. I pray she is able to feel happiness in her life! Amen
🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
He didn't deserve a plea deal. It would spare the mother to have to testify or see autopsy pictures, but that man deserved no mercy
If he got the D.P he would have aged out before getting a D.P date. Remember D.P in G.P. This is probably the best thing Chad D has done. The mother and her daughter will be spared a horrific trial. I could not imagine having to sit through that. So thank goodness, the family don’t. This plea deal has been in the making. All parties on all sides have to agree. He will never be getting out of prison. I hope this can bring some healing to the families. Their lives are forever changed. Pleas remember the babies that were taken away to soon 🙏
His still a coward
Amen!💙💙💙
@@The_Crow- this was probably better for the victims. We know that he’s a coward. But at this point he is never getting out, either way.
Exactly, and how often is their sentence reduced to life anyway within that 30 year period. The only benefit is that death row itself is a different kind of hell.
I’m glad the mom and stepdaughter will not have to replay their nightmare on a witness stand. The very thought of them having to testify makes me want to weep. I pray that the family finds some peace in the coming years.
At least the poor mother of those kids won't be forced to testify now. God Bless her.
Glad the mother and daughter don’t have to go through anymore trauma. Those poor boys
As long as he is locked up until his last breath. The families don't have endure the charade of a trial.
He killed 3 children and didn’t get the death penalty!!!!!
What the hell does a parent have to do to get the death penalty??????
He has so many rights; his children had none.
All he cares about how much time he gets and if he can get a sweet deal it's sickening
He sure does have more rights than those babies had, as far as he was completely concerned!
Well since they said the victims (mom and daughter) approved this I'm assuming it's because they didn't want to deal with a trial.
Good. LWOP done No need to spend tens of thousands of dollars on DP appeals. May we never see his face again.
Judge is making sure he is buried deep. He can't come back to court to say he didn't know something. Good judge.
24:59 I love the way the deputy looks at him through out this
He despises him and I can’t blame him at all.
@@tmoore04ifyyes like he’s thinking if only I could get my hands on you!!!!
I noticed that too.
I noticed that too! He was thinking just one move sucker, give me a reason 😊
Prison may adjudicate a death penalty far worse than the Court ever could.
Exactly!!
If he was eligible for death penalty then they shouldnt be any plea deal. How disgusting
This plea deal was discussed with the victims. He will never see the light of day and the victims don’t have to go through the trauma of a trial.
Consider his family. Why should they all be put through that?
I believe the biggest factor there being a trial. This trial is in the spotlight. It would be horrible on the family to relive this again. They show autopsy photos, would have to testify, the defense defending this evil man's action, all of this would be horrible for them to go through. The prosecution always discusses this first with the family so they had to have agreed.
The surviving victims also agreed to not going through an awful trial of reliving this horror that was done.
You wouldn’t say this if you were the mother and her daughter who would have had to testify. 🥲🥲
He actually thinks being in prison as a child unaliver will be easier than DP. I can’t imagine him ever having any peace once he gets in prison.
I can't imagine either, but those precious boys' mother and sister don't have to sit thru a trial, nor do they have to testify and relive the hell. He deserves everything he's subjected to for the rest of his life in prison.
Do you realize how many child unalivers are already in prison? No one is waiting for him. Men and women go to prison every day for this same offense, yet people still tend to believe someone will be waiting to do him justice when he lands at the penitentiary.
@@Lisa.pizzza yall really think prison is like that? Them prisoners not gone b worried about him. Have Chad daybell or Lori vallow been hurt in prison?
They are mostly in solitary confinement if they get the DP
He will be protected in prison from other inmates just like Chris Watts
Plea deal an insult to those poor murdered boys!!! Shame on the judge and the system
@jackiesmith, The judge did not make those plea deals or laws. He had to carry them out as they were mandated. He was very professional and as far as everyone hating this man, they are drinking their own poison. This man doesn't care what anyone thinks of him. remember he killed his own children so he has no value of life. Please keep in mind that a normal person would not do this, I DO NOT FEEL SORRY FOR HIM
Before you all jump on the judges throat this was a plea agreement between the prosecutor and defense attorney.
Even that he would want to live is unbelievable to me
Judge didn’t have to agree with it. It’s white supremacy, they rather just 3 white lives be lost instead of 4.
And the victims approved it. Probably so there's no trial
Vote the DA out !
@ruthmartinez5796 ok so you want to add more grief for the family?
He talks like he is a kid in trouble at the principals office. He does not care. He literally is taking the easy way out. So unfair for the survivors.
The poor kids plea deal was denied when they begged for their lives.
He had such a beautiful family. RIP angelic children.
Those boys are in heaven ...
He put them there !
He will live each day in horror !
At his age he has a long life ahead of him , living in horror !
If he survives ...
No plea deals for monsters
Am stunned/shocked that a plea deal was even made available for a crime that was almost beyond comprehension. True evil has options nowadays, unlike 3 innocent little boys.
Good..no one needs to go through this awful trial.
The DA has more emotion, reading the statement than that pile of garbage has this entire time. Mayb prison justice find him quickly.
We can only hope…..
What's the expected lifespan of a triple child killer in prison these days ☺️ ☺️ ☺️
Not long🇨🇦
Not long.😊
Too long
CourtTV, Don’t call him “Dad”.
Exactly he dose not deserve that title at all !!!!!
What should they call him? I get your sentiment, though.
@@Marlene_CCmurderer.
@@Marlene_CCchild killer, as he is.
@@Marlene_CC the father but definitely not Dad that name should be reserved for the truly great loving fathers who wouldn’t kill their children 😑
A PLEA DEAL??? THIS IS DISGUSTING!!!!! HE IS A MONSTER AND SHOULD NOT BE GIVE ANY CONSIDERATION WHATSOEVER!!!!!!! WTF???!
The prosecutor stated that it was the kind thing to do for his wife and step daughter as to not put them through a trial even though he earlier stated he would seek the death penalty. They negotiated with Doermans attys and reached
A compromise. I have to say this is one if the saddest cases I have ever heard of.
He should have never got any deal!! Poor baby boys rest in peace . Condolences for the mother and the sister
Thank god, save everyone from this hell.
CHAD ASSAULTED HIS OWN FATHER. What does that say about him? He's unhinged.
Everyone in the room is only asking the same question I imagine , why would someone ever do this?
This is completely outrageous! Unbelieveable and NOT JUSTICE!
That judge and prosecutor will have to live with the fact they made a deal with the devil
He will forever looking behind his back, wether that be in solitary confinement or not, wether that be in an ordinary jail (for want of a better word) or not, or wether he is incarcerated in an establishment for criminally insane.... His days are numbered. Of that, I have no doubt.
Don’t you miss your little boys? Are you happy with yourself? This is your life. Enjoy. It’s better than what your sons got. Rest in peace little guys. 💙💙💙
He doesn’t care!
I dont blame the family for not wanting to go to trial. Rest In Paradise beautiful boys. Fly High. 🕊️
Glad the family and mother doesn’t have to go through the trial but he’s a coward and only cared about saving himself from the DP
Those babies did not get a plea deal - had the nerve to kill his children but not himself
Why would you kill your boys like that, and your daughter saw this 😢 she will never forget this i pray for your wife and daughter 🙏
Why a plea deal? Death penalty 😡
He’s now not considered a violent offender? Are you kidding me!
The children's mother did not want to go through a trial, that's why she agreed to a plea deal. 😢
Not justice for the kids but justice for the family that now doesn't have to go through a trial and reliving this horrible incident
This so called man is as cold as ice 😢
I can’t understand how a father, after mowing down his 3 young boys, would even want to remain alive.
Please deal… shame on the prosecutor and judge
Damn that deputy is eyeballing Chris! Like wait till you come into my prison world. SMH
Pure evil
He should never be out of prison.
He took 3 lives, traumatized the daughter and mother of children. Shot the mother in the hand and physically wrestled her.
And traumatized all family and loved ones on both sides.
WHY .. the kids didn’t get a plea deal !!!!
Reminds me of Chris Watts who took a plea deal. Both Typical narcissist 's they're embarrassed for the community to hear how evil they are or details. Remorse is lacking in both cases; sympathy for themselves only.
that's 100% it for watts - "embarrassed for the community to hear" their actions.
Dude ,this physically hurts my sould , wtf , are you kidding me ??
Why keep someone like him alive ?? For what ?!?! 😢
Wow what the hell?!!!! This is a miscarriage of justice!!
He’s so calm & no tears over his sons
Murders his childern but won't man up & take the death penalty. Smh! Prison justice will find him.
Nothing to do with manning up. God the ignorance in this thread!
@@lesleyhughes3174He's a coward and a worm. Explain what you're trying to say.
@@lesleyhughes3174do you think you are not ignorant? you sound insane.
What ever happened to an eye for an eye?
It hasnt been applied in a civilized society for centuries. If that's what you're looking for in a court case, you're never going to see it.
his 3 sons didn’t get to plea for their lives
and neither should he.
The only positive from this entire hearing is that poor mother wont have to relive those images in front of the world....and thats a very generous 'positive'...
40:00 the prosecution can barely read the details of this monsters actions.
plea deals shouldn’t be allowed for crimes like this.
WHY. WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY why did the judge give him so many. Reasons like not to see. videos not. To hear nothing it it seemed to me that the judge felt sorry for him.
Only the father knows why he killed his little boys.
Because America court systems are a JOKE
My thoughts are that he is a narcissist of the worst kind and has probably been abusing his wife and children for years and this was his ultimate way of destroying the boys' mum. It's despicable but this is how these freaks roll unfortunately.
No answer to the why is good enuf. I think he wanted to hurt his wife in the worse way possible. May these boys RIP and their mom and sister find some kind of peace and healing so he has NO power over them again.
@@juliecrane9647 That is possible. Some men are like that.
I would want the DP is this was me, but im sure the mother and daughter do not want to go through the agony of a trial and having to relive that day more than they already have.
Odds are this creature would never be executed even if sentenced to death. Since he would thrive on seeing the mother's agony, I am so glad she is spared giving testimony.
I have watched thousands of interviews of people who have been in prison for decades both on the row and in with the other prisoners… A lot of them say the row is easier…some even committing crime after crime while in prison to get on the row because it’s more quiet and safer. So for those of you who think this is an easier or lighter sentence maybe you should do alittle more research. Plus… prisoners with this type of crime do have to face the inmate jury and I don’t think that’s going to be a walk in the park….
I’ve heard death row is easier/more comfortable as well. Due to this being a high profile case, he won’t be able to escape other inmates not finding out what he did.
Exactly right. May he never know a moments peace.
He is the worst of the worst
They’ll get him in prison
Yes maam he is doomed
Oh he has no chance in prison this is such a high-profile case I wouldn't be surprised if they put him on the yard and within an hour somebody gets to him and then he's in administrative segregation for his own safety for the rest of his existence. But even there they can get to you when they won't get to you if they want you
@@sarakhalidi0513he will spend his time in protective custody I’m sure. It’s really horrible he slaughtered those precious babies like he did 😢😢
@@anissaburgess6419protected custody doesn’t save you from anything! I promise you!
@@anissaburgess6419I don’t think they have protective custody after he pleas guilty.
That coward will pay dearly in jail. The guards can’t protect him all the time. It’s not fair to the children that he will not face the same fate that they faced
The judge was so kind and gave this guy so much more than he deserved as I am sure inside he must have found it really difficult knowing the heinous crime this man did !
I will NEVER UNDERSTAND THIS as to how he gets a plea deal and it should be a DP AS THIS WAS S HEINOUS CRIME! How the hell did it change Mr prosecutor! Shame on you! Mental health my foot!
His children WERE AFRAID TO DIE WHY DOES HE GET TO LIVE! HE DIDNT SHOW ANY MERCY TO THEM WHY DOES HE GET MERCY!
SICK OF THIS UNJUST JUSTICE SYSTEM!
Why is there a plea deal? First, if there was a trial there is no guarantee that a jury would unanimously agree to impose the DP. Second, it spares the surviving family the trauma of reliving the horror of the incident. Third, it saves the taxpayers the cost of a lengthy trial and numerous appeals. Fourth, it gives certainty to the sentence and this monster will suffer the rest of his life in a steel cage.
@@EducatedBlackMan …true! My family went through this in February. The plea deal guaranteed the defendant would serve time. We didn’t have to go through a trial. The defendant (now inmate) will not have a nice time in prison. Also, he will never be able to remain a free citizen once released because of the circumstances imposed on him after released…plea deals can be very good for the victim (victims), the family, and the community……much love and peace to those who remain to pick up the shattered pieces of this horrible selfish man’s actions. 🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Shouldnt be a trial either he never would have NOT gotten the DP come on! He clear cut did it and he knew it the prosecutors dropped the ball
If he did get the DP it saves the family 22 years or more of appeals and trauma of possibly more trials due to appeals also. For myself, I can’t speak for this family, but that would a living nightmare. Life with no parole would satisfy me. I would never have to think about him again.
Well, going for the death penalty hard for a year only to suddenly pivot to a plea deal is a hard left and doesn't seem like justice in this particular case. And I don't normally support the death penalty but there are exceptions. Nobody with any brains can possibly think there was at all a risk that the MIN sentence he would get from any jury, would be life without parole. They didn't have to decide IF he is guilty, he very obviously is, and I don't know who buys the convenient temporarily mental health condition. A jury really only had to decide between life in prison without parole or the death penalty. The taxpayers have to pay regardless. The cost of keeping him for the rest of his miserable life or the cost of ending his life sooner rather than later.
@@SheilaKiss-ck9vd There was never a risk in this case that he would get anything less than life without parole from any jury. The situations are not the same.
