Witness says teen described killing Friend heard details during ride The Associated Press GRANTS PASS -- A witness in the trial of a teenager accused of murdering a prominent lodge owner testified that the young man described in detail how he killed an "old man" for his Chevrolet Suburban. Joshua Cain, 19, is on trial for murder even though prosecutors believe his 15-year-old half-brother, Trevor Walraven, fired the shot that killed Black Bar Lodge owner Bill Hull. The body of Hull, 65, was found in a remote area of Josephine County last summer. He had been shot in the head. Prosecutors say the teens stole Hull's $30,000 vehicle and planned to give rides to friends before selling it for $500. Nick Haynes, a friend of Cain's, testified late Wednesday afternoon that he rode around Reedsport and Eugene with the half-brothers in the stolen Suburban. In Eugene, they stopped and tried to use a Chevron credit card with Hull's name on it. "It didn't work, so we threw it in the trash right there at the gas station," he said. The youths had no money and needed gas, Haynes testified. He said Walraven suggested calling a pizza delivery person, whom they could rob. When Haynes objected, Walraven scoffed, saying it would be nothing compared to what he did to get the Suburban, Haynes said. "I said, `What do you mean?' " Haynes said in court. "He said that he had shot somebody in order to get, uh, that's how he got the truck. I didn't believe him. He's like, `No, really."' The younger brother told Haynes that the man had picked him up hitchhiking and he held the old man at gunpoint. "He made him drive out into the woods, that's what he said," Haynes continued. "He said that the guy asked him if he was going to kill him. He said no." Walraven told Haynes he shot the man on the top of the head. "He said the pieces flew everywhere," Haynes said, sniffling. Later in his testimony, Haynes said he thought Cain was innocent. The prosecution objected, calling the comment an opinion, and Judge Gerald Neufeld ordered the jury to disregard the statement. During cross-examination, defense attorney Bob Abel clarified that Cain never told Haynes he killed someone, and that Cain was not present during Haynes conversation with Walraven. Cain was charged with murder because state law holds criminals and those who aid or abet a serious crime equally responsible. Walraven awaits trial while an appellate court decides whether he will be tried as an adult or a juvenile. Mail Tribune Copyright � The Mail Tribune 1999, Medford, Oregon USA
