April 29th, 2010 - Superior Court Judge Duane Huffer ruled that both Colt and Paul would be tried as adults for the murder of Colt Lundy's step-father Phillip Danner. Chief Deputy Prosecutor Daniel Hampton made the decision to sever Chase's case from the other boys'.

Colt and Paul were booked into the Koscuisko County jail immediately after the hearing, held without bond.

May 27, 2010 - The prosecution filed to have Paul and Colt tried together for the murder of Phillip Danner. As a result, the defense presented arguments in front of Circuit Court Judge Rex Reed against approval of the motion.

"Lundy's attorney, David Kolbe, argued that trying both boys together would impair his client's right to a fair trial. Kolbe also said that this case is unique because of the ages of the defendants involved and that holding one trial for both boys gives the prosecution "an unfair strategic advantage" and pits the defendants against one another."
