James Francis Edwards, one of three teens charged in the killing of Christopher Lane, posted racist Tweets on his account, according to a new report. One tweet from him reads, “90% of white ppl are nasty. #HATE THEM.” Another reads, “Ayeee I knocced out 5 woods since Zimmerman court! :)” The Daily Caller says “woods” is a derogatory term for white people. Christopher Lane Murder Suspects Charged Edwards and Chancey Allen Luna, 16, were charged with first-degree murder as adults Tuesday and are being held without bond in Duncan, Oklahoma. Bond was set at $1 million for 17-year-old Michael Jones, who allegedly drove the vehicle carrying the suspects accused of murdering Chris Lane . Jones is considered a youthful offender but will be tried in adult court along with his cohorts. Jones named Luna as the gunman, police said. The “thrill kill” slaying of Lane shocked the nation due to its random nature – the trio allegedly admitted they did it “for fun” and because they were “bored.” Police Chief Dan Ford said the victim, 22, appeared to have been “targeted” at random after he jogged by a house where the teenagers were. Australian Lane was on a baseball scholarship at East Central University and was in Duncan, Okla., visiting his girlfriend when he was shot and killed. Some bystanders tried to perform CPR on a dying Lane, but he was unconscious and had stopped breathing before an ambulance arrived. Prosecutor Jason Hicks called the boys “thugs” in court as he detailed the senseless murder they allegedly carried out at the end of last week. Edwards has had run-ins with the law previously and had been in court Friday, the day of the killing, to sign documents related to his juvenile probation.
