本案围绕着谭子与其父亲的死亡展开,探讨其行为是否构成正当防卫或蓄意谋杀。谭子及其家人长期遭受其父的家庭暴力,这在案发前夕达到顶峰,谭父家暴致其母昏迷。谭子在案发当天曾与朋友见面,并向朋友透露可能需要离开美国。案发后,谭子向警方自首,称其父意图杀害其母,迫不得已才采取行动。然而,警方调查发现,谭父的死亡时间早于报案时间,且案发现场缺乏搏斗痕迹,这与谭子的说法存在矛盾。调查还发现,谭子曾试图购买枪支,最终由其兄弟会兄弟代为购买。辩方强调谭父长期家暴的事实,并质疑证据不足以证明谭子是凶手,甚至暗示谭母才是凶手。控方则认为谭子的邮件、案发现场、自首以及试图潜逃的行为都表明其有预谋杀害其父。陪审团最终无法达成一致,导致审判无效。法官随后出人意料地驳回了指控,但这一裁决随后被上诉法院推翻。谭子最终因与枪支相关的罪名认罪,并被判处20年监禁。

Shownotes Transcript

In 2015, Charlie Tan was a student at Cornell University when his abusive father was shot and killed by a shotgun that he purchased. Directly after the murder, Tan and his mother tried to flee the country to Canada. A deadlocked jury would mean Tan would get off on a mistrial, but prosecutors were set on charging him. And if not for murder, then for something else he’d done.
