The millionaire father of an Arizona teen accused of beating Preston Lord to death had a habit of bragging about paying to get his kids out of trouble, his ex-girlfriend told police. Talan Renner, 17, is one of seven young men accused of beating Lord, 16, to death outside a Halloween party last year in Queen Creek, a suburb of Phoenix. He and the other suspects are believed to have ties to the so-called Gilbert Goons - a group of mostly wealthy white kids who have been terrorizing the area for years.
