  1. I doubt he will serve 20 years. He’ll probably get out in less time for good behavior. He’ll still have time to rebuild his life. Dad was abusive and hopefully the nightmare is over

  2. Why is no one person discussing the abuse that Jean Tans husband was inflicting on his wife, Jean Tan had the motive and well justified motive to get rid of her abuser if the law did not protect her, law enforcement should be charged for their neglect in going after an abusive husband

  3. @ 0:01:04 — The "foreboding email" is interesting. If you pause to read it, you'll see he mentions a Latin phrase (making a statement that suggests he has a tattoo of it on his arm). Specifically, he says, "Non Sibi – how I like to think my actions reflect in the whole scheme of things." What does it mean, you ask?

    Non Sibi – not for self

  4. glad this psychopath is behind bars for 15 more years. he should never get out. he even confessed to the murder to reduce his 20 year sentence. someone out there has to be commended for dotting the i and crossing the t,s. if it wasnt for them he would be out there living the good life after premeditated murder.

  5. They said found three different types of DNA on the weapon but never said it was the moms? Why not mention if her dna was on the gun if it was soooooo obvious the mom did it?

  6. Before the mom and son's departure from this earth, one or both will confess the true details. Although I don't make excuses for the abusing party in domestic violence cases, she should have long gone. Leave the abusive husband behind…just leave the money and lifestyle behind. I know how some cultures view marriage and the submissive thing is more crucial in some cultures than others, but what mother really allows her child to take the blame for something she might have done? Dry blood…post rigamortus. What judge with the right ethics will just shut down & dismiss a trial without allowing ample time to prove or disprove…nor does he allow for the jury deliberation. There are a lot of components in this case that prove messiness from the start.

  7. I WOULDED DONE THE SAME THING TO PROTECT MY MOTHER..BUT I HAVE A GREAT DAD THAT NEVER HAD PUT A FINGER TO HURT MY MOM ONLY TO LOVE HER .
    IM NOT SAYING THAT HE FINGER HER

  8. So they were so butt hurt about the judge dropping the case, that they got him locked up 20yrs for buying a gun used in a crime. Should his attorney say they just wanted to throw him away b/c they lost the case

  9. oh that woman could have definitely had the capability to shoot that shot gun not hard to pull the trigger at all or hold the gun. for recoil? she would be tossed back for sure… anyone check her for injuries? could her bruises or damage to her shoulder heal in the estimated 4 days she didnt call police?

  10. This is complete injustice for the murder of this man. To dismiss the main suspect was insane! There have been people convicted of murder with way less evidence than in this case.
