MESA, AZ — One of the suspects in the murder of Preston Lord was back in court on Friday. Jacob Meisner, 17, has his disposition hearing — which is what they call sentencing in juvenile court — for two separate teen violence cases. Typically, ABC15 does not name juvenile suspects, but Meisner is charged as an adult in the murder of 16-year-old Preston Lord.The first assault Meisner was sentenced for dates back to November 2022 outside a home on the edge of Gilbert and Queen Creek.
Another suspect in Lord's murder, William Owen Hines, was also charged in Dale's assault. Two other arrests were made in the case, including 17-year-old Tyler Freeman, who has been charged as an adult in the November 2022 attack. Kyler Renner, the brother of another suspect in Lord's murder, was also arrested. On Friday, the Maricopa County Attorney's Office told ABC15 his recommended charges are still under review.
Palmer will be back in court on Monday as Meisner's co-defendant, Christopher Fantastic, will appear for his sentencing. The 18-year-old has already pleaded guilty to aggravated assault for the attack against Palmer's son and also for another assault that happened last August at the Gilbert In-N-Out.Meisner admitted to aggravated assault for both attacks. Cameras were not allowed inside court Friday, but the court commissioner said the 17-year-old will be on probation.
"We can’t really decide if we are happy with the results or not because we do know there is an adult case that is keeping him where he’s at," said Palmer."So that is a little bit of relief."
