Suspect Says Teen Asked Him to Kill Her Dad

GUTHRIE, Okla. (AP) -- A 21-year-old man charged in the death of a Guthrie man has testified that a teenage girl asked him to kill her dad.

Jerry Jerone Chiles Jr. testified Thursday during a preliminary hearing in Logan County court for 15-year-old Kaleigh Lynn Fryer. Both are charged in the May 13 stabbing death of Fryer's father, 42-year-old Lewis Keith Fryer Jr.

Chiles has reached a plea deal with prosecutors, in which he will plead guilty to murder in exchange for testimony against his girlfriend and a life prison sentence without the possibility of parole.

Chiles says the girl told him she was pregnant, showed him where the kitchen knives were in the house and asked him to kill Lewis Fryer.

Kaleigh Fryer's attorney, Eric Reynolds, says Chiles' testimony is hearsay and not credible.
