Two Ivy League professors attacked in their own home

Psychopaths. Especially Robert. Jim could possibly be redeemed. Robert should still be kept in jail for life.

Winter here. 17 C at midnight

So incredibly sad. Such a waste of life for no reason.

People might disagree but if you live a life of spiritual awareness and meditation you get gut feels about strangers. The only time i go wrong is when i don't obey my gut feels. These kids are walking in darkness and should NOT be released.

teenage anti social criminal behaviour needs addressing by police, after the first offense.

Buenos Dias!!! It must be Saturday 🙌🏾

I hope James Parker redeems himself but i don't think Robert is able to

James was the younger, eager to follow, less aggressive of the duo. He could have learned to be more careful of who you hang out with.
But Robert? He's a hot mess...
The family dog? An older couple out for a stroll? Anyone who might criticize him? Poor impulse control, hot tempered, overly egotistical, and perhaps the classic: narcissistic?
Perhaps he might have benefitted from reading something other than comic books.

Robert was s psychopath piece of filth

Thanks Casefile.... so heartbreaking, all for nothing.💔

Kind of funny they think they’re smarter then others…then go on to do absolutely moronic acts. Stupid

May the S.I.P. I do have a gripe with this whole “as a juvenile” perception. I think depending on the crime, severity, intent, and execution- being a “juvenile” does not change the nature of criminal behavior and mindset. Murder being a top charge for consideration as an adult. And honestly- it was planned out. Maybe the who wasn’t figured out entirely but the idea of killing was. Most 16yr olds are not doing that. And for the accomplice. Check his recidivism. But clearly its not a “teenage phase”.

Not a good idea to open your home to strangers who just knocked on your door…no matter how generous you want to be. What a tragic case! These two murderers are psychopaths, they should never be released, they don’t change! They were sorry they got caught. Age 16 is old enough to be totally responsible for a cruel murder.

"Half"? Now I have heard everything! LMFAO!!!

Another case where the knife sheath was forgotten in the frenzy of murder!

Masterpiece as always! Casefile rocks in true crime podcasts!

Love this channel and the new episodes with Olivia LaVoice. Very talented and beautiful lady indeed. 💯🔥🇺🇸

Very much appreciate the details regarding the victims and their legacies. Knowing that they rest in peace, prayers for their families and friends.

How ironic that the pair thought themselves so superior and clever and yet, despite their discussions and plans, managed to eff up their one and only major crime and land themselves in prison pronto, still teenagers. One of them sounds like he has the potential to move forward in life and become a regular human being, but the other would appear to have some serious issues requiring mental health intervention. I hope he gets it before the power that be decide to release him back into the world after who knows how many years 'learning' in prison. I also thought it ridiculous that anyone would suggest that the pair didn't intend to kill - why else were they sporting those foot long knives, do you think?

What in the world is wrong with these
teens? They think life is theirs to destroy? They're that superior? Rude awakening. Enjoy prison.

Ranger is jailhouse snitch= LIAR

Anyone else think of the "pea tear griffin" family guy scene when guy tells police his name is J. James?

Were they geyboys ?

In August 2014, the New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled that Tulloch's case would be among four to be reviewed by the court for re-sentencing. The initial review had been appealed by the state attorney general. Parker is not affected by this ruling, because he was not charged with first-degree murder, an adult charge that carries a mandatory LWOP sentence. After review of different factors in the case, the court could again re-sentence Tulloch to life imprisonment without parole, or could impose a different sentence. Tulloch's re-sentencing hearing is scheduled for July 2024.

Parker parole

On April 18, 2024, James Parker was granted parole. He is expected to be released in May 2024, once a housing plan is in place. Parker expressed profound remorse for the murders and had a track record as a good inmate, including earning bachelor's and master's degrees while in prison

The first guy & his young son would be dead if he hadnt been suspicious & refused them entry (having a gun probably also helped)

You know you've been following true crime for too long when you've already seen multiple documentaries on nearly every American murder case that Casefile presents. By the third sentence I knew every event that would come afterward. I wish Casefile would choose to do more recent murder cases so that the story wouldn't already have been told and retold ad infinitum. For those of you who don't already know every twist and turn in this case, enjoy!!!!

Thanks Matey 👍

LOL at the trucker who asked for his $10 back 🚛

As an Australian i can assure you that exotic isn't a word I'd use to describe the place or the people 😅💜🇦🇺💜

As an Australian, I am so glad these young men never got to my country!

What was the religious background of the 2 murderers?
I read something disturbing about it.

I always feel bad for the go-along in these cases. I'm not saying he isn't equally guilty, but it's clear Jim wasn't quite the "psycho killer" that his "friend" Robert was. I remember how desperate I was to be liked by those I associated with at 16, and how little grasp I had on the consequences of my actions at times.

It just sucks when kids encourage each other to commit such heinous crimes. I think for teenagers, it's really easy to get caught up and lose touch with reality. Once the bubble burst and it all came crashing down, Jim seemed genuinely remorseful. He was probably in complete shock to realize what he'd actually done. Unfortunately, this is the one kind of fuck up you can't undo.

May the kind souls whose trust was so horrendously abused rest in peace.

😢

This episode was very well developed and researched. It raised moral questions such as whether or not to be generous and friendly to strangers like half was, who ended up getting killed. It also explores different outlooks on life. I think it was notable that half’s daughters did in fact focus much more on the ideological complexities of half’s beliefs rather than Jim and Robert’s violent crime. I really felt the nuances and authenticities of the world expressed, through Jim and Robert’s desires to go to Australia and Half and his wife’s perfect life coming to a horrible end with their deaths becoming a martyr for their own honorable beliefs in a way. I’ve learned a lot from this episode and I will be continuing to giving this a lot more thought. Thank you for your hard work on bringing this colorful episode to life.

It's so nice to hear an Aussie voice presenting this, not so nice, sad event. 🇦🇺
Thank you for being so clear and descriptive which makes this horror, which was so sad and unnecessary, compelling listening. At the end, I was so moved by the generosity of the daughters. They are truly their parent's daughters. Generous and forgiving. I was wondering if I would be as forgiving.

the prison sentences are insulting .... like a parody of some comic drama.

They thought they were smarter than everyone else, but their every thought was so simplistic and juvenile.

The level of storytelling on this channel is beyond incredible. It does take me a good three or four times to hear it to the end though because of that beautiful hypnotic voice sending me to sleep but it's well worth it. Just enough description to lull me into the visuals but not too much to slow the narrative. A million gold stars Casefile - fantastic work!

Best AI Narrator voice in the business.

If they lock their doors all the time wouldnt that make them people operating in insecurity. If he went by Jim why would you refer to him as James? Seems disrespectful. Looks like the guy with the gun in his hand out of paranoia is just as bad as the two murderers. With that paranoia I wouldn't be surprised if he shot an innocent person out of fear.

Never trust anyone you don't know. Never let them into your home. EVER.

'Rope' Alfred Hitchcock ties in with climbing.

I remember seeing this case on tv. These teenagers had actually tried the same ruse at another house, but the man that lived there (either his child or wife was with him) would not open the door, and looked out a window near the door while holding his gun so that these monsters would see it and they left. Very well told. Can picture everything while listening to the details. Another good story. Thank you.

No image No Video is boring 🥱

These 2 should NEVER be let out. I don’t care if they became apostles in prison and personally met Jesus. I totally pictured the professor with his wife, their dinners with their friends and their debates over their favorite wine and their hours of art discussions: so much to offer to this world I’m sure and cut short because if some teenagers and their dark fantasies.

In April 2024 Parker was granted Parole. Tulloch's hearing has been postponed until some later date. Parker seemed to be a follower and very remorseful for his actions. Tulloch sounds like a psycho.
