But prior to their questions, both parties announced the list of 32 witnesses.

Expected to take the stand are both of Lane's parents and his girlfriend as well as Edwards Jr.

Luna's mom Jennifer may also take the stand for the defense.

Luna himself was not listed to testify.

Luna was present for Monday's jury selection wearing a teal dress shirt and tie.

If convicted, Luna could face life in prison.

The death penalty is off the table due to Luna's young age when the murder happened.
