(CNN)The bored teenager who gunned down a college baseball player in Oklahoma simply because he and his two friends "had nothing to do," is now a convicted murderer.

Chancey Allen Luna was found guilty of first-degree murder Friday for his role in the August 2013 drive-by shooting of Christopher Lane, a 23-year-old college student in Duncan, about 80 miles south of Oklahoma City. Luna was 16 at the time of the shooting.

Lane, an Australian attending East Central University, was jogging when he was shot in the back by a gun fired by Luna.

A jury recommended Friday that Luna spend life in prison without the possibility of parole, according to court records. Because he was under 18 when the crime was committed, he is not eligible for the death penalty. He'll be formally sentenced in June.

The vehicle's driver, Michael Jones, pleaded guilty in March to second-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison. Jones, who was 17 at the time of the murder, will be eligible for parole starting in 2051, according to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections.

Prosecutors dropped first-degree murder charges filed against the third suspect, then only 15, after he agreed to testify against Luna and Jones, according to CNN affiliate KSWO. He will now be tried as a juvenile with accessory to murder after the fact.

Duncan police Chief Danny Ford told Australian radio station 3AW that when police arrested the teens, Jones offered a motive that made clear that Lane, a baseball player on scholarship, was chosen at random.

"We were bored and didn't have anything to do, so we decided to k**l somebody."

After the verdict, Luna appeared to be crying as deputies led him out of the courtroom in handcuffs, whimpering "I'm sorry" to a reporter.

It's sad thing the other kid that had such a promising life ahead of him was just randomly shot cause they were bored.

I recall when he was shot, I could not imagine how cold hearted one would need to be to just shoot a person or for that matter anything with reason. They, the shooters, did not even know this young man. I am glad that there is some justice for him and for his family.

Justice would be a public flogging, followed by a public h*****g of wh**ever is left. Isn't it odd how the definition of "cruel and unusual" has changed over the years? Hard labor used to be commonplace. Convicts made little ones out of big ones and earned their keep, rather than having gyms, computers, color TV and air conditioned cells at taxpayer expense. Not to mention that prisons were not full of non-violent offenders who got caught with a couple of joints, while cocaine and heroin dealers who could afford expensive lawyers walked free.

Times have changed. They now have access to the net, some even work for telemarketers and help lines. And believe this, some work for Amazon taking orders using credit cards. Imagine giving a criminal access to your credit card information? And this is how some companies are reducing their overhead.

And the only thing he said while being taken away....sorry. He should have addressed the parents and eased their pain. Sorry don't cut it with me anymore.

I think Chauncey should get the "needle", but that is obviously not my call. So may he rot in prison, the piece of sh1t.

Are you talking about the basketball player? What did he do?

One of the shooters, "Chauncey," or "Chancey."

As long as it is a dirty needle. Then put him in prison, and let him die of AIDS. As I said, the definition of "cruel and unusual" punishment has changed over the years. It may be time for another re-definition. Somehow, life in an air-conditioned cell with computers and color TV doesn't seem too appropriate.

A couple of years at hard labor, and THEN execute him. Might as well get SOME good out of him.

okie don

Kid probably had no father.
So many of these people have no male guidance. Look what happened in Ferguson,MO.
These kids today are a different generation from how I was raised. Sad indeed...
