A suspect charged in the fatal shooting of Tommy Triplett Junior in Saint Francis County is ordered to stand trial.  37-year-old Robin Lucas of Desoto is charged with first-degree murder.  Her bond is set at 2-million-dollars.  The 29-year-old Triplett died after being shot in the chest at a residence in Northern Saint Francois County April 22nd, 2011, near Triplett’s home.  Lucas claims it was self-defense.  She thought Triplett tipped off police to a Meth lab operation at her house the day before and she retaliated.  Judge Kenneth Pratte has set her trial for November 8th in Farmington.
