JOHNSTOWN, Colorado ? Two teens have been charged with killing the 7-year-old sister of one of them by beating her with imitations of moves from the "Mortal Kombat" video game, prosecutors said.

Lamar Roberts, 17, and Heather Trujillo, 16, were charged as adults on one count each of felony child abuse causing death, state prosecutor Robert Miller said in court documents released Wednesday and filed a day earlier.

According to a police affidavit, the teens were baby-sitting Trujillo's half-sister, Zoe Garcia, on Dec. 6 while the girl's mother was at work. Zoe lost consciousness and stopped breathing after the teens hit, kicked and body-slammed her, imitating moves used in the video game, the document said.

Yes, I acknowledge it's Fox news so no 'omg sensationalist lyez' please. No doubt Jack Thompson will be over this story in no time at all! The part that made me frown the most however was;

FOX News said:
The witness told police that Roberts said Zoe had told them to stop wrestling. According to the affidavit, when the witness asked why they didn't stop, he responded, "I don't know; I was drunk."

And gaming induced violence is to blame? More like incompetent parenting* :upstare:

Thoughts?




*this isn't a cue for a repeat of the GHIII/I can raise kids better than you thread
 
My cousin use to do this to his brother; use moves off of Wrestling Games...
 
Anybody else getting sick of these threads? /drama

Now wait a second...I think I see a pattern here. Roberts? And Trujillo? Oh yes, that's almost like Robert Trujillo! This is all Metallica's fault because their current bass player is Robert Trujillo! It's all because of that heavy metal music, and especially Metallica! HANG THEM

Interesting; they also have a song called CREEPING DEATH!?!? I SEE THE CORRELATION NOW. METALLICA ARE TO BLAME.
 
As soon as I read your post, Seppo, a song from "Kill 'em all" showed up on my playlist.

Coincidence? :O
 
they should have go against someone of their own size
 
Hopefully no face eating took place.
 
I know Jack Thompson is an idiot and all, but if Mortal Kombat isn't partly responsible for this death I don't know what is. :\

They got inspiration from the game, but it's not RESPONSIBLE for the girl's death. It's not like the game told them:
Game: "Kill her. She's a bitch."
Dude: "I'm babysitting her. I won't get any cash if I kill her."
Game: "She stole your crack rocks. I saw it."
Dude: "Son of a bitch."

You forgot,

Game: FINISH HER!

sorry ;(
 
This kind of stuff makes me just really angry. God damn these idiots
 
Aw I am sick of these. It even says that they are drunk.

Also maybe it's just me but I don't se any MK fatalities described in this article. Where's the fireballs? The arm ripping?

Also if it DID replicate the game then we'd be seeing the FRIENDSHIP finishing move.

Yet another tea spitting post.

You people have to stop this shit, I want to finish my drink for once.
 
Utter morons. I hope they get tried as adults. Sixteen to seventeen is old enough to know better.
 
Is it me, or are today's youth getting more stupid by the day?

This undated photo provided by the Weld County Sheriff's Department Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2007 shows Heather Trujillo, 16, of Johnstown, Colo. Trujillo is being charged as an adult on a count of felony child abuse causing death, prosecutors said Wednesday. Lamar Roberts, 17, of Westminster, is also being charged. The two teens, accused of trying to imitate the 'Mortal Kombat' video game, have been charged in the death of Trujillo's half-sister, 7-year-old Zoe Garcia.

She doesnt strike me as a killer.


Also, this would have happened anyways, without mortal kombat. Instead of imitating mortal kombat moves, they would have done something else, like wrestling moves, rusty lead pipe moves, regular punch/kick moves etc.
 
Someone should have looked for warning signs before leaving these two in charge of a little girl. Things like, "Are either of them prone to violence?" "Are they impressionable?" "Do either of them have four arms and go around crouching to get into an uppercut stance?"
 
Yeah, I figured they would look like some retarded inbred shits. She looks quite the opposite.
 
A pretty murderess. :/ Or possibly accesory to murder, the article isn't clear.

I skimmed the article last time. Now, after seeing the degree that they beat that little girl, and the utter incompetence of both, I hope the maximum legal punishment is allocated to them.
 
I think the drunk "witness" did it and is framing the kids!
 
Aren't they a bit old to be imitating mortal kombat, I think they we just fighting.
 
Because clearly mortal combat came up with all of the moves featured in the game. The Martial Arts have only been around for like ten years
 
It's just the prosecutors' retarded argument anyway.
 
She was 7 years old, wouldn't that be considered a BABALITY?

That is SO what I would have said and done. Crack doesn't come easy these days, but it sells well.
 
I can now blame gun manufacturers for every crime involving guns.
