The parents of the slain Australian baseball player are not the only ones hurting today as the relatives of the accused teen shooters have also spoken out about their sons, clinging onto the belief that they are not murderers.

When News.au asked if Ms Luna had a message for the victim’s family, she said: ‘I feel sorry for them, my heart goes out to them, it really does, but that's my baby too. My boy was a baby too.’
‘If I could do something about it, I would.’

Mr Edwards is holding onto his belief that his son was not involved.
‘I don't think (he was involved)...Because he's not the type of person. He likes to wrestle. He's into sports,’ Mr Edwards said according to Australia’s News9.
‘I’m hurting the same way (as Lane’s parents). I don’t cry on the outside but I am crying on the inside right now,’ Mr Edwards said.

According to a story from yesterday, the guns were stolen.
Not a single word of coverage on last night’s NBC Nightly News.
Their lead story was a seven minute, anti gun rant.
He will be along shortly. When he arrives, he will announce: This is the fault of the Republicans for not providing midnight basketball. This happened because of Florida’s Stand Your Ground Law. Or, how do we that the White man did not shoot himself to blame it on these innocent Black youths?
I hope so but I would not bet on it.
I expect Sharpton to show up at the trial and sentencing to explain to anyone willing to listen that these boys deseve a light sentence.
She is a blubbery one now ain't she.
“ONLY if they actively contributed to their child’s delinquency—and I’d bet that that is a minority.”
If the parents are not part of the solution, they are THE PROBLEM—particularly if the kids are minors. Yes, they do have a duty to keep them in line and should be held responsible for their actions.
Later on down the road,look for stories to stare appearing about what a nasty individual the victim was. How at one time he might have spit on the grass. And how he could have shot himself in order to get three innocent Black youth in trouble.
See how long it takes for the msm to blame something or someone other that the three hoodlums responsible. See if they are not able to tie George Zimmerman and Florida's Stand Your Ground Law as being the reason the man was murdered, not these three innocent angles.
FWIW, even back in the mid-80s there were parents who knew where their kids were at all times and made it very clear they’d at times stop in on them. Those now-grown kids are doing just fine as responsible adults.

HAHA, I had to look down to see who posted this because I thought it was my son, who occasionally posts on FR. Yep, it worked for me and him. I absolutely hate that word. To me, it's equivalent to what are you going to do now to entertain me?
>>>The 16-year-old’s mother said her son should be punished if guilty, but not for the rest of his life.<<<
I agree. He should only be punished until the innocent man he murdered, for fun, comes back to life.
I suspect you’re talking about Jones’ parents, neither of whom is depicted, although both were apparently in court. That gets me to wondering what the race of each is. Also, AFAIK, none of the US media has reported what the race of each is, even though it could be learned by a quick visit to the county clerk’s office and a check of Jones’ birth certificate. After all, the MSM had no trouble whatsoever learning all about George Zimmerman’s genealogy back to his black great grandfather. Further, there doesn’t thusfar seem to be any significant reporting on Jones’ background and how he got involved with the other two thugs, something an ordinary white kid probably wouldn’t do. Gets one to wondering how “white” Jones really is.
sister of gunman blubbers at courthouse (not for the victim of course...............
Worthless pieces of slime.
I wold really like to see more reporting on Jones, the allegedly “white” member of the gang. If somebody did some research in public records it would be fairly esy to see if he’s as white as the media are saying. Also, how did he manage to hook up with those two horrible low lives, who were even known to be thugs among their own people, many of whom avoided them.
I don’t think the Crips area all that high on recruiting white Australian baseball players.
The Furies, on the other hand, would likely be highly interested!
That sentiment deserves repeating.
It was a Democrat plan from the start (thank LBJ)...
I've seen several stories saying one was white. Yesterday, an article here on FR had the mugshots. One is white, one is black, and one appears to be mulatto. The white kid is being booked as an accessory, and according to some stories was the driver.

I’m with you on needing some more info on Jones and how he became involved to be the shooter.
