He was sentenced on Thursday where he was told he would spend his life in prison, with the possibility of parole after 31 years, according to reports .
Law and Crime reports that Donohoe broke into his ex-girlfriend’s home after a breakup before going on to launch a stabbing frenzy, wounding her 30 times before slitting her throat in order to “speed up the process.”
Detailing the case Assistant Franklin County Prosecutor Dan Lenert said, the Dispatch reported: “I can only imagine what was going through Shannon’s mind as he busts in her door and starts stabbing her.
“He told the police he slit her throat to speed up the process. This was not drugs, this is not ketamine, this is not methamphetamine, this is not cocaine, this is someone that’s angry.
"He’s ****** off about posts being made about him on social media. He’s upset about their breakup and he goes to her house that night and sees a vehicle from another man that he knows that he recognizes.”
Hiott’s mom, Jamie Hiott, blasted Donohoe in court, calling him a 'monster', the Columbus Dispatch reported. She said: "How scared she must have been. You are a foot taller and 100 pounds heavier. You had all that time to change your mind, but you’re a monster.”
In a sentencing n ote Donohoe’s lawyer said the defendant was under the influence of marijuana, methamphetamine, and cocaine and had consumed a large amount of alcohol at the time of the killing.
His mom Ashley Radca also said her son had struggled in life, and had been raised by a single mom whose biological father was absent and had been in and out of counseling since he was a young child. She said: “I will never fully understand how my son was capable of doing the horrific things he did the night he ended Shannon’s life.
“It was so entirely out of character and not like anything he had ever done in the past. What he did was beyond terrible, and he must pay a consequence for his actions.”
