The Tan Family

Об эпизоде

Charlie Tan, a sophomore at Cornell University, was charged with second-degree murder in the 2015 shooting death of his father, Jim Tan. The prosecution argued it was a cold-blooded, premeditated killing, while Charlie claimed he was protecting his mother after years of domestic abuse. The trial ended in a mistrial after the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict, leading to the dismissal of charges against Charlie, but there’s much more to the story. <br /><br /><a href="https://patreon.com/lovemarrykill" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Support us on Patreon</a> for $5/month and get early, ad-free access and bonus episodes.<br /><br /><b>Sources:</b><br /><ol><li><a href="https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/local-news/charlie-tan-timeline-from-fathers-fatal-shooting-to-admission-of-the-crime/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/local-news/charlie-tan-timeline-from-fathers-fatal-shooting-to-admission-of-the-crime/</a></li><li>Dateline S24 E40, “House of Secrets”</li><li><a href="https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/local/blogs/watchdog/2016/01/17/liang-jim-tan-pittsford-dynamax-charlie-tan-trial/77409802/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/local/blogs/watchdog/2016/01/17/liang-jim-tan-pittsford-dynamax-charlie-tan-trial/77409802/</a></li><li><a href="https://cornellsun.com/2019/11/21/former-cornell-student-cleared-of-murder-charges-admits-in-affidavit-to-killing-father-in-2015/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://cornellsun.com/2019/11/21/former-cornell-student-cleared-of-murder-charges-admits-in-affidavit-to-killing-father-in-2015/</a></li><li><a href="https://cornellsun.com/2018/07/18/former-cornell-student-cleared-of-murdering-father-pleads-guilty-to-purchasing-gun/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://cornellsun.com/2018/07/18/former-cornell-student-cleared-of-murdering-father-pleads-guilty-to-purchasing-gun/</a></li><li><a href="https://www.newspapers.com/image/111126380/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.newspapers.com/image/111126380/</a></li><li><a href="https://cornellsun.com/2018/11/27/former-cornellian-sentenced-to-20-years-in-prison-on-gun-charges/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://cornellsun.com/2018/11/27/former-cornellian-sentenced-to-20-years-in-prison-on-gun-charges/</a></li><li><a href="https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2018/11/07/charlie-tan-marijuana-mushrooms-cornell-university-sentencing-gun-charges-murder/1918931002/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2018/11/07/charlie-tan-marijuana-mushrooms-cornell-university-sentencing-gun-charges-murder/1918931002/</a></li><li><a href="https://cornellsun.com/2018/07/18/former-cornell-student-cleared-of-murdering-father-pleads-guilty-to-purchasing-gun/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://cornellsun.com/2018/07/18/former-cornell-student-cleared-of-murdering-father-pleads-guilty-to-purchasing-gun/</a></li><li>Self Defense or Premeditated Murder?
