Episode Details

A teen murderer convicted in 2001 for killing a Dartmouth professor couple has struck a deal to avoid resentencing, potentially paving the way for hundreds of other juvenile lifers nationwide. After Supreme Court rulings declared mandatory life without parole unconstitutional for minors, Tulloch’s legal team argued for a 30-40 year sentence, citing his prison behavior, remorse, and therapy records. His accomplice, who cooperated, was paroled last year. Tulloch, now 36, has had minimal disciplinary issues since 2012—mostly for possessing too many books—and credits his change of heart to “warped youthful thinking.” With over 75% of similar cases nationwide resulting in reduced sentences, Tulloch’s case may push New Hampshire to reform its juvenile sentencing laws.
