THE teenagers charged over the murder of Melbourne man Chris Lane will be isolated from one another and other inmates in an Oklahoma jail as long as they are there.
Stephens Country Sheriff Wayne McKinney said they would be held individually at the Stephens County Jail for their own protection, and as part of standard protocol for anyone under 18.
"And we don't want them collaborating with each other," McKinney told the local paper, the Duncan Banner.
District Attorney Jason Hicks said yesterday that it could be months or longer before the three - James Edwards, 15, Chancey Luna, 16, and Michael Jones, 17 - would face trial. It was too early to say whether they would be tried separately or together.
Their next hearings are in October.
The high school attended by the teens is on heightened alert after "anonymous threats" were made just hours after the accuseds first court appearance.

ReplyDeleteNo need for a trial - let them run down the road & give the victim's family a gun. Problem solved.

ReplyDeleteHope they serve their time in an Australian jail! BTW, are there any comments from Al or Jessie on this incident?
ReplyDeleteVery sad basically listening to this guy die. But what about the second victim they killed? Why aren't we hearing much about that?
ReplyDeleteThere is proof that James Edwards tweeted numerous times that he hates white people. This his a hate crime! Where is Obama, Sharpton, Jackson and Oprah?
And we have Peirs Morgan tweeting the problem is guns!
1:03 Let me check.... nope, no money to be made here.
ReplyDeleteWhy did it take almost 4 hrs for an ambulance or police to arrive?
