FORT PIERCE, Fla. - A St. Lucie County grand jury is considering whether a teenager should face first degree murder charges.
Police say 17-year-old Tyler Hadley killed his parents with a hammer, then threw a party with their bodies still inside the home.
Investigators found Blake and MaryJo Hadley buried underneath some household items in a locked bedroom.
Because of his age, Tyler Hadley is not eligible to face the death penalty.
