A judge in the tight-knit courthouse community of Chardon, east of Cleveland, will sentence 18-year-old T.J. Lane on his guilty plea to aggravated murder and other charges.
Lane's guilty plea on Feb. 26 came on the eve of the anniversary of the 2012 attacks that killed three and wounded two students. Russell King Jr., 17, and 16-year-olds Daniel Parmertor and Demetrius Hewlin were killed in the Feb. 27, 2012, rampage.
The three students who were wounded and survived and relatives of the slain students were offered the chance to address the judge before the sentencing. Relatives of the slain students indicated earlier they want Lane to get the maximum sentence.
Lane attended an alternative school for students who haven't done well in traditional schools. He was at Chardon waiting for a bus.
He pleaded guilty to three counts of aggravated murder, two counts of attempted aggravated murder and one count of felonious assault. Lane wasn't subject to the death penalty because he was 17 at the time of the crimes.
