THOSE WHO STILL BELIEVE IN THE TOOTH FAIRY WILL BELIEVE THE KILLERS THOUGHT THEIR GUN CONTAINED ONLY BLANKS DESPITE HAVING KILLED A DONKEY WITH IT EARLIER

Three bored pt-smoking Oklahoma teenagers overcame their boredom by first killing a donkey and then a jogger from Australia

I guarantee you that James Edwards, who has turned state’s evidence in return for a reduced charge, is flat out lying when he testified that his two pot smoking buddies thought their gun held only blanks.

Here we have three killers, two back and one half-black, killing a white college baseball player and yet Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson were nowhere to be found or heard from. Had the victim been black and the murderers white, those two charlatans would have been in Oklahoma screaming their heads off.

One of the three boys accused in the fatal shooting of an Australian baseball player last summer has claimed that his friends believed the gun used in the crime contained only blanks.

James Francis Edwards Jr. agreed to testify against his co-defendants during a preliminary hearing on Tuesday.

In exchange for his testimony continuing through trial, prosecutors said they will drop a murder charge and he would only face an accessory charge.

He told an Oklahoma judge Tuesday that Chancey Luna, 16, shot and killed Christopher Lane, of Melbourne, from a car driven by Michael Dewayne Jones, 18.

Edwards, 16, said he was rolling marijuana cigarettes in the front passenger seat when Luna shot at Lane from the back seat.

The teens later drove to a restaurant, where Luna and Jones exchanged words.

According to Edwards, Luna said to Jones that he thought the gun only had blanks inside them.

Jones reportedly then responded: 'Me too. I'm sorry,' Edwards said.

Jones and Luna then dropped off Edwards at court for Edwards to sign probation papers for an unrelated juvenile charge.

Edwards, who testified wearing an orange jail jumpsuit, is the first of the three teens to talk about the August 16 shooting.

Lane, 22, was on a jog in Duncan, Oklahoma during a trip to visit his girlfriend Sarah Harper's family when he was shot in the back by the teens who sped off moments later.

There have been no hearings featuring Chancey Luna or Michael Jones, who became a father while in police custody, since their arrest on the day of the murder.

Prosecutors added an accessory charge against Edwards on Tuesday.

The validity of his story comes into question after reports about the Lane murder linked Jones, Luna and James to an earlier shooting of a donkey on a farm near where Lane was killed.

As part of a Vanity Fair investigation, journalist Buzz Bissinger suggested that the boys' first shooting on the morning of August 16 claimed an animal victim when one of Jim Brasher's three donkeys was killed by a buckshot.

The police have not released much information about the evidence in the case, only saying that the murder weapon that was used to kill Lane was originally found hidden inside part of Jones' car, and Edwards apparently tried telling a friend to get rid of it all together while he was behind bars.

It is not known if they had more than one weapon in their possession or if they actually had two different types of bullets, but if the two shootings were both at the hands of the teens, then they clearly knew that some of the bullets had the capacity to kill.

According to court documents, Edwards made a phone call from the Stephens County Jail sometime between August 16 and December 31, 2013, and asked someone to dispose of the weapon.

Prosecutors have not determined whether 16-year-old Edwards will be charged as an adult or a youthful offender for the accessory charge.

Lawyers and family members for the three teens left the courtroom Tuesday for a lunch break without commenting.

Miss Harper, 23, was last seen publicly leaving Lane's funeral in his hometown of Melbourne, Australia on August 28.

Though she did not speak at the Catholic service, she did place a flag over his coffin with 'Oklahoma' written on it.

His father Peter Lane spoke to the gathered crowd- which the priest said was the largest he had seen in his 40 years of working at the church.

'When someone as young as Chris loses their life it's always a tragedy, but when someone's life is lost for no reason, it's very hard to come to terms with,' he said.
