Summary

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.
