Tonight, you might tune into Channel 7. You might watch a special called In Cold Blood, and hear about the drive-by murder of an Australian baseball player called Chris Lane.
You’ll learn Chris was out jogging when he was shot in the back. He was gunned down by three teenagers, who later told police they were “bored”.
Chris Lane was my baby brother. His brutal, senseless death has changed me and my family forever.
Tonight, you’ll hear the driver of the car, Michael Jones, apologise.
Asked what he’d say to me, my two sisters, my mum and my dad, he’ll reply: “I know I’ve put you all through a lot … and there’s nothing I can say or do to ever change what happened but … I do hope that they can find it, you know, to forgive me, you know.
“I just, I just, I’d tell them that I really am truly sorry and … I know they’re never going to see Chris again and that’s something that not only them but I have to live with because they’re not ever going to see Chris again at my hand.
“You know I may not have pulled the trigger but I drove away and that’s just as bad.”
