Tyler Hadley Trial Update: ‘Rolling Stone’ Releases Complete Details Of How The 17-Year-Old Boy Threw A Party After Hammering His Parents To Death

Tyler Hadley's trial and the details of how he murdered his parents were the focal points of an in-depth article released by 'Rolling Stone' magazine on Wednesday. Tyler Hadley, a 17-year-old boy at the time of murder, admitted that he killed his parents Blake Hadley, 54, and Mary Jo Hadley, 47, in their Port Saint Lucie house on July 16, 2011 using a claw hammer. Neighbors were surprised with what Hadley did because they saw him grow up as a "polite" boy.

According to the teenage boy's affidavit, he hid his parents' phones before killing them so that they wouldn't be able to call for help. He also claimed to be high on ectasy which prompted him to commit the crime. After the murder, he hid his parents' body and threw a big party.

"You could tell it was going to be a outrageous celebration since roughly nobody had listened of a child who was throwing it. Word was that his name was Tyler Hadley, he attended Port St. Lucie High, and, many crucially, his relatives were out of town. Where accurately Tyler's relatives had traveled, or how far, no one seemed to know," mentioned in the article's first part.

The 'Rolling Stone' article on Hadley's trial similarly stirred controversy because of how it portrayed Port Saint Lucie. Apart from being a community "not built for teenagers", it likewise described the town as "a tomb, designed for the soon-to-be-entombed."

Hadley is scheduled for a 4-week trial this coming March. Two hundred potential jurors will be reportedly summoned for the case. According to reports, Hadley's attorneys will use the teenager's unstable mental health as a defense.

If Tyler Hadley's trial will have him convicted for first-degree murder, he will face lifetime imprisonment without the option of parole. Since he's a minor at the time of the homicides, death sentence would be ruled out.
