.J. Lane, who appeared in court Tuesday morning wearing a t-shirt
with the word "KILLER" in marker across his chest, will spend the rest
of his life in prison for the murder of three teenagers at an Ohio high
school.
Going against the recommendation of his counsel, Lane addressed the courtroom before learning his fate. He smiled periodically and showed little remorse for his actions.
"F--- all of you," he said, before raising his middle finger at the victims' families, according to the Plain Dealer.
On Feb. 27, 2012, Lane, then 17, entered Chardon High School, east of Cleveland and opened fire, killing Daniel Parmertor and Demetrius Hewlin, both 16, and Russell King Jr., 17. Three other students were wounded.
Nearly one year later, Lane pleaded guilty to three counts of aggravated murder, two counts of attempted aggravated murder and one count of felonious assault.
Lane received three life sentences without the possibility of parole. Because he was a juvenile at the time of the incident, Lane could not face the death penalty
