The man convicted of the 2013 beating deaths of his girlfriend’s parents in Summit County has been sentenced to death.
Investigators say Shawn Ford and teenager Jamall Vaughn beat Jeffrey and Margaret Schobert to death inside their New Franklin home in April 2013. Prosecutors say Ford used a sledgehammer.
Last year, Ford was convicted of murdering the Schoberts.
After a jury recommended the death sentence in the 20-year-old’s trial, Judge Tom Parker ruled he was mentally fit for execution.
Ford had dated the Schoberts’ daughter, Chelsea, but they tried to keep him from her after he stabbed her and fractured her skull.
She addressed the court, along with Ford, saying, “I’m tired of people asking me why, and I don’t know the answer. So I’m asking you today: Why? Just why?” Ford had no answer.
Ford’s crimes were described as thought out and calculated, a description fed by the fact that after he bludgeoned Jeffrey Schobert, he used his victim’s cell phone to text his wife, Margaret, to lure her into the home, where she was murdered.
“I always felt like things had to be my way. If things didn’t go my way, I did something about it. I was just trying to make it my way,” was his explanation.
In Margaret Schobert’s murder, Judge Parker had to decide whether to accept the jury’s recommendation of the death penalty or life with no parole. After a lengthy review of various factors that worked into his decision, he declared, “Shawn Aaron Ford be sentenced to death for the murder of Margaret Schobert.”
