An Iowa teenager who stabbed his father to death and used an ax to kill his mother in 2021 will spend the next few decades in prison before he's eligible for parole. Ethan Orton received a life sentence Monday with a chance of parole in 50 years.
Orton pleaded guilty in February to two counts of first-degree murder in the October 2021 deaths of 42-year-old Casey Orton and 41-year-old Misty Scott Slade at the family's home in Cedar Rapids. Speaking publicly for the first time since the killings, Orton expressed regret for his actions but said he'd"made peace" with what he'd done, CBS affiliate KGAN-TV"I even said I'd give my left arm just to get both of them back, see what I could do, but I had to come to a realization that this is what it is today, and thankfully I made peace with that," he said.
BREAKING: Ethan Orton, who earlier this year pleaded guilty to killing his parents, is sentenced to life in prison and must serve 50 years before being eligible for parole.
