While on the stand, the first witness told the court that prior to the murders, she had had a conversation with Richardson in the school bathroom, in which Richardson said she wanted to kill her parents.
"I didn't think she meant it," the witness testified. "I thought she was saying it out of anger."
The second witness to testify said she was Richardson's best friend and that the two girls "pretty much lived at each other's houses on weekends." She stated to the court that Richardson told her she had first met Steinke at a local mall and that he was only 17 years old. When asked if she ever confronted her friend about Steinke's age, the witness replied:
"I guess I just decided to keep that out of my mind. I never really got good feelings about him, especially because of the age difference... I never really thought of him as dangerous. I just thought he was older and really immature for his age."

On June 28, Kacy Lancaster was called to testify. "I want to tell the truth. The whole truth," she said shortly after taking the stand.
According to Lancaster, she met up with Richardson and Steinke shortly after the murders took place and drove them, along with two other teens, to the town of Leader, where they were later arrested by police. She said Steinke had had a black eye and that Richardson had told her to lie about how he received it and about when the group met up.
