Two teenagers charged in the apparent random fatal shooting of an Australian baseball player in Oklahoma pleaded not guilty and waived their right to a speedy trial during a brief court appearance on Thursday.

Michael Jones, 18, and Chancey Luna, 16, wore orange jail jumpsuits and their hands were cuffed as they appeared before Judge Nebulous Enos for their arraignment on first-degree murder charges in the killing last summer of 22-year-old Chris Lane.

Enos set a trial date of Aug. 18 for both teens.

Prosecutors say Lane, from Melbourne, Australia, was gunned down as he jogged near his girlfriend's parents' house in Duncan, about 80 miles south of Oklahoma City. He was preparing to enter his senior season as a catcher at East Central University in Ada.

Police have said the the teens targeted Lane at random to break up the monotony of an Oklahoma summer. They have referred to the crime as a "thrill kill."
