For the murder of 22-year-old Australian Chris Lane, 15-year-old
James Francis Edwards Jr. and 16-year-old Chancey Allen Luna are being charged
with first-degree murder and will be tried as adults while 17-year-old Michael
Dewayne Jones, who reportedly drove the getaway car, is being charged with
using a vehicle in the discharge of a weapon and with accessory to first-degree
murder after the fact. Jones will also be tried as an adult in the Oklahoma
shooting.
“Luna and Edwards were held without bail, while Jones' was
set at $1 million.”
In his confession, the 17-year-old teen provided details
about the Oklahoma shooting of Chris Lane stating that he and his two friends
shot Chris Lane for “the fun of it,” reported The
Guardian on Aug. 20, 2013.
