PHOENIX — Six suspects in the Preston Lord case are still charged with murder in the teen's beating death in October 2023. Jacob Meisner, who is currently charged with aggravated robbery, kidnapping, and felony murder in Preston's case, appeared in court Friday. There was a settlement conference held, but Meisner ultimately did not change his plea. The court date comes days after prosecutors filed new court documents that reveal disturbing details about the night Preston was attacked.

Two Valley families are left dealing with a tragedy after the deadly stabbing that killed 15-year-old Jalen Reeves in November. The teen who allegedly stabbed Jaylen was 14-year-old at the same time. Six months later, the Maricopa County Attorney declined filing charges in the teen's death. ABC15 sat down exclusively with both Jaylen's family and the attorneys representing the other teen. David Cantor and Christine Whalin, with DM Cantor, said their client acted in self-defense.
