Skyler Allen, Derek Morse Make 1st Criminal Court Appearances In Lookout Valley Triple Murder

  • Tuesday, September 9, 2014

Two people charged in a triple murder in Lookout Valley had their first appearance in Criminal Court on Tuesday.

Judge Rebecca Stern allowed attorney Jeffrey Schaarschmidt to continue to represent Skyler Allen and attorney Hank Hill to stay as the lawyer for Derek Morse.

Those killed in April as they congregated near an RV on Kelly's Ferry Road were John Lang, 53; Caleb Boozer, 29, and Jon Morris, 24. Michael Callen, 16, was shot, but he survived and testified at a preliminary hearing. 

The third defendant, Jacob Allison, who was 15 at the time, recently had his case transferred from Juvenile Court to adult court.

All three remain in custody facing first-degree murder charges.
