Mr Lane, from Melbourne, had a baseball sports scholarship with Oklahoma’s East Central University and was visiting his girlfriend, Sarah Harper, in Duncan when he was randomly selected and shot.
Edwards, who pleased guilty to being an accessory to murder, was sentenced to 25 years in prison, but ten years of that was suspended.
Edwards became the star prosecution witness against his friends, Chancey Luna, who was 16 when he shot Lane, and Michael Jones, then 17, who drove the Ford Focus used in the murder.
Jones entered a guilty plea to second-degree murder and was sentenced to life, but could be eligible for release after 38 years.
Oddesse Barnes, who was not in the car but helped hide the gun, will be eligible for release in 12 years for an accessory conviction.
