Teen Football Stars Indicted For Murder Of Teammate

A grand jury indicted two teens Wednesday who are charged in the murder of a teammate, reported NewsChannel5.

Raymond Williams and Jon Huddleston, members of the Benedictine High School football team, were indicted for murder, aggravated robbery and robbery in the shooting death of Lorenzo Hunter, 16.

According to police, the shooting took place when Williams, "Ohio's Mr. Football," Huddleston and Hunter were trying to rob Rodney Roberts with a toy gun.

Roberts allegedly pulled out a real gun and shot and killed Hunter. The sophomore wide receiver and safety died of gunshot wounds to the chest, arm and hip.

The grand jury decided Roberts will not face a murder charge, but is charged with carrying a concealed weapon.

Prosecutor Bill Mason says the Williams and Huddleston face murder charges because the law holds them responsible.

"Once you start this, you are responsible for all things that happened," said Mason. "Someone was killed, it doesn't matter if they weren't the shooter."

Mason says there is evidence that suggests the boys may have tried to rob someone earlier that night.

The teens will be arraigned in the next week.

If convicted, they could face 15 years to life behind bars.

except for the

Concealed weapon charge,looks good to me.
It is amazing the amount of people who don't understand you can be charged for murder and convicted without being the one who pulled the trigger.

Sometimes it's REALLY hard not to laugh at stupidity, but in cases like this, I see no reason to hold back..



I hope Mr. Roberts somehow slides on the concealed rap. He shouldn't be penalized for performing a public service.

Never try to commit armed robbery in an unarmed state.

Quite a vivid contrast between him and Tillman, huh?

Luckily for Benedictine High School it's early May so there should be plenty of time before summer practice starts to find three replacements .

With the new CC law in Ohio is the affirmative defense law still on the book? If so then Mr. Roberts should have an easier time of it (not that he should have been charged with anything more serious than littering ).

No, HB 12 which is the concealed carry law, removed the affirmitave defense.

The gene pool is a little cleaner... and the Brady Bunch gets another "children killed with guns" statistic to harp about.

I wonder if WVU ever withdrew their scholarship offer to Williams. I hope so, I REALLY don't want to deal with this POS in the fall.
