March 23: Luna's lawyers call for a larger pool of jurors as just 2.1 per cent of people in Stephens County are African-American, something they say is unfair.
April 14: The jury selection process begins.
April 15: Trial begins and Luna's lawyer says his client did fire the fatal shot in the drive-by shooting, but it was not premeditated.
April 17: A jury took just one hour to find Luna guilty of murdering Chris Lane.
June 16: Oklahoma District Court judge Ken Graham sentenced Luna to life in prison without parole. Luna's lawyers have filed an appeal but it will take about two years before it will be heard.
