The Oklahoma teens who face first-degree murder charges have been named as Chancey Luna, James Edwards and Michael Jones.

But their parents yesterday protested their innocence.

Jennifer Luna, whose son is suspected of firing the fatal shot, claimed her son was at home saying: "My son is not that way. My son is a good kid."

It comes as Duncan Police Chief Danny Ford said he had secured the confession of the 17-year-old who summoned investigators to his jail cell and claimed he and the younger boys were bored "so they decided to kill somebody".

"He said he was the driver of the car," Chief Ford said.

"They saw Christopher jog by the house they were at, they chose him to be the target, they got in the car, drove up behind him and shot him in the back.

"He said the 16-year-old fired the shot."

The three teenagers are being held in the Stephens County Jail in Duncan.

The trio were due to appear in a local court over the shooting at 1.30pm Monday (4.30am Tuesday AEST), but it has been pushed back a day.

The mother of the 16-year-old accused of firing the single bullet from a handgun into Lane's back said she didn't believe her son was involved.

The father of the 15-year-old admitted his son had been in trouble with the law, but described him as a good boy.

Two of the accused teens' parents insist they were not involved in the killing.

"That's my baby boy," said the mother of the 16-year-old accused of firing the single bullet from a handgun into the back of Mr Lane.

She doesn't believe her son was involved in the shooting, saying today he was not a member of a gang and definitely not the one who pulled the trigger.

The father of the 15-year-old accused of being in the car admitted his son had been in some previous "kid stuff" trouble with the law, but described him as a good boy who also was not part of a gang.

"I don't think so," the father replied when asked if his son could have been part of the murder.

"Because he's not the type of person. He likes to wrestle. He's into sports."

The two teens have suffered tragic lives, their parents said. The 15-year-old's mother is in jail. The 16-year-old last year dealt with the death of his stepfather and brother.

Chief Ford said yesterday the attack was not racially motivated.

"It was just three clowns who got together and decided to kill,'' he said.

Chief Ford said the police had released the body but was unsure of plans to repatriate Lane's body back to Melbourne.

He also said the killer left a chilling message on Facebook before the spree - "Bang. Two drops in two hours".

"They wanted to be Billy Bob Badasses," Chief Ford said yesterday.

"I think they were on a killing spree.

"We would have had more bodies that night if we didn't get them.

*************************************

Earlier today, former deputy prime minister Tim Fischer has urged Australian tourists to boycott the US in the wake of the shooting murder of the Melbourne baseball star.

Mr Fischer said he was deeply angered by the latest tragedy and said turning our backs on America would help send a stern message about the need for tighter gun control.

Christopher Lane, 22, was randomly gunned down while jogging through the town of Duncan in Oklahoma on Friday afternoon local time.

Mr Fischer, who led Australia's gun control reforms alongside former prime minister John Howard in 1996, said choosing not to travel to the US would help build pressure on the US Congress to finally act.

"Tourists thinking of going to the USA should think twice,'' Mr Fischer said.

"This is the bitter harvest and legacy of the policies of the NRA that even blocked background checks for people buying guns at gunshows.

"People should take this into account before going to the United States.

"I am deeply angry about this because of the callous attitude of the three teenagers (but) it's a sign of the proliferation of guns on the ground in the USA.

"There is a gun for almost every American.''

(Well except Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's uncle, which, when considering his past connections with the CIA doesn't really count......) Point is, the "I know he didn't do it cuz THAT'S MY BABY BOY" line from the parents is getting old and is not a culpable defense by any stretch so why bother to quote it? So how did these guys get a gun? I can't find that anywhere.....

Misapplying facts doesn't work for me, neither do hypotheticals..

The one kid who allegedly pulled the trigger, if guilty, chop off his head.

The other two, who with knowledge and forethought conspired to commit murder but didn't actually pull the trigger, 20-40 years..

The conspiracy laws are really fucked right now and even giving a prosecuting attorney the option of charging co-conspirators with the predicate crime is something I'm not comfortable with....

Nope... because it's the sociology of it. Your lecture will go through one ear and out the other since all that matters to them is what happens outside of school and what other's in their cliques. The only way to relate to them is to represent a former member of their demographic.

They would all be underage for guns to be obtained legally.

There are so many aspects to this,, I had refrained from comment.
If they are in fact guilty of this,, they should be punished.. I have doubts in the system.
There is little hope of rehabilitation,, and they will eventually be released,, after being trained in criminal arts by older and hardened criminals.

But then I wonder at everyone rushing to judgement based on information provided by people that lie repeatedly, and investigated by people that rarely investigate. Is the story presented the truth,, or are you being led to believe it is?

And the other issue is age.. They are "thugs" and adult and on and on..

But if it was some 15/16 yr old girl seducing some older guy,, he would be a perverted pedo,,and she an innocent child.

so many aspects,,,

Nothing "official" but here's a resident's opinion:


"He was face down on the ground and he was shot in the back with a .22 revolver," builder Richard Rhodes told Australian broadcasters. "I had another lady stop and we tried CPR on him. And he passed away right here."

The 17-year-old said in open court "I pulled the trigger" but the judge directed him to remain quiet.

Usually when parents of the accused claim their kids are innocent it's used by some to claim conspiracy. This usually happens if it's a terrorist attack or the perpetrators are Muslim - see Boston bombing.

So what here? Anyone going to question the official story or does everyone believe the MSM, the police, and TPTB this time?


I know a lot of people on here are against the death penalty, and I am against it in most cases, but when it is with out a doubt (one confessed they did it because of boredom) then they deserve the needle.

How do you know he confessed? Because the police said so? The MSM? And even if he did "confess" how do you know he wasn't coerced?

Oh you poor naive souls who swallow everything the government and the MSM tell you.

This shyt by youths is only going to get worse. The courts now have given the green light to those under 18 that murderous behavior is peachy-keen and will NOT result at a minimum to life with no parole.

There's three misguided youths coming up to trial for car-hijacking and beating the man literally stupid. He needs 24/7 care and physical therapy. He just arrived from Africa joining his wife thus does not qualify for Social Security disability or pretty much anything. The local lib columnist states it's unfair (which it is to a certain extant - if we have a welfare state this guy should qualify) but says nothing about the youths who are only charged with 1st degree robbery worth 20 years.

Do you get that Sharpton getting involved in Zimmerman case helped (or could have helped) bring justice in a case where a murderer was never charged.

In this case the murderer is already charged.

And what's their agenda?

Jesse Jackson is 70+ years old. He went to a segregated high school and wasn't allowed to drink from "white water fountains". At some point people said enough and he, and MLK and millions of others marched and organized and in 2013 many of those injustices have gone away.

He's far from perfect but the guy has done a lot of good for Americans of all races.

If you die like MLK you will be made a saint. And if you keep living eventually a lot of people will hate you. Would have happened to MLK if he were still alive.

Again I'm not sure what you expect from him here: the people responsible are being charged.

If they weren't charged you would have a point.

I never saw much Arias coverage, but that was probably because it was mostly covered on shows like Nancy Grace. There were some threads here, but there was no one adamantly arguing on one side of the issue. Hard to have long threads when everyone is in agreement.

I never saw much Arias coverage, but that was probably because it was mostly covered on shows like Nancy Grace. There were some threads here, but there was no one adamantly arguing on one side of the issue. Hard to have long threads when everyone is in agreement.

Exactly. And that's why this case got a lot of coverage, and got a ton of ratings. It was an interesting case and an issue that mattered to a lot of people.

To be fair my girlfriend subjected me to an unGodly amount of the Jodi Arias trial so I may not have a fair assessment of how much coverage it actually got. I know it was covered in the Terrel house about 8 hours/day.

We have some disturbed young people walking the streets. Look at these tweets:

In one outrageous tweet, Edwards writes: “90% of white ppl are nasty. #HATE THEM.”

In another, he claims he “knocked out 5 woods since Zimmerman court.” The word “woods” is also a derogatory term used to describe white people.

I'm glad race wasn't the motivator behind this crime.

The "hate crime" laws are a bunch of nonsense. A murder is a murder, plain and simple. That being said, there's very little doubt that they murdered this guy because he was white.

Even the third kid who was white.

It's a rare one with me agreeing with BT, but I think it was convenience more than color. They were all three looking to kill someone because they were bored is my understanding, and that's the first target they found.

I do know that at least one of the black kids wrote a bunch of stuff hatin' on whitey, but I think that's him venting blame-game stuff since he did actually have white friends.

If me and Amy can agree on something I believe there is still hope for the human race.
