The Tan Family
Added 2024-02-10 19:00:06 +0000 UTCCharlie 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.

2024-02-13 21:42:27 +0000 UTC🤯🤯🤯 this one made me SO angry at Jean! As a mother - i would have taken the blame and done the time i Think …… she should have seeked help , she has been able to go to shelters before , she should not use her kids to vent to and Make them feel responsible to help her. Poor Charlie :( Shame on Jean ( my opinion:)) Great story - Thanks for sharing x
