Mortal Kombat killer sentenced to 36 years

Mortal Kombat Killer Gets 36 Years - Image 1Lamar Roberts, who was convicted of beating a 7-year-old to death in 2007, was sentenced to 36 years in prison yesterday.

Roberts, dubbed the Mortal Kombat killer by the media, beat to death Zoe Garcia, half-sister of his girlfriend, Heather Trujillo. The two were supposedly babysitting the child when they kicked, hit, and slammed the child to the floor.

The initial reason reason they gave was that they were reenacting moves from Mortal Kombat. Garcia's aunt and stepmother believed that this was just an alibi, and that video game violence was not the issue.

The sister, Trujillo, got a plea bargain and received an 18-year suspended sentence, and six years in a youth offender program.

Video game violence will end up being the new "insanity plea" that murderous bastards use to shorten there sentences.

This is really one of the worst crimes I've ever heard of. Not only did these people take away a life, but it was also the life of an innocent 7 y/o, who had yet to do anything bad in this World, if only I could get my hands on these idiots...



Btw, not to take away from the story, but at the beginning of the 3rd paragraph, you type the word reason, twice.

You typed type instead of typed. Enough with these over corrections already. We're only human.

Well it wasn't really in that order, but whatever. I think the worst one was the one with the dude choking an infant. Unless there is a worse one than that that I can't think of. It's just one of those things you try to forget.

No word if he was listening to that evil "Rock and Roll" music? You know, Elvis and the Beattles, that's probably what did it...



The more it changes the more it stays the same, nobody wants to hear the truth (gun control, bad parenting, mental issues), for me it was Heavy Metal music when I grew up, Satan and black masses and so on, seems kinda funny now.
