Weapon 117 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 18-year-old Lamar Roberts recently pleaded guilty to charges of child abuse-knowingly/recklessly, which caused the death of a seven-year-old girl. Roberts’ girlfriend, Jennifer Finch, also pleaded guilty in May to child abuse-negligently. Roberts and his girlfriend were babysitting Zoe Garcia when they decided to do movements similar to those performed in Mortal Kombat. These actions, sadly, let to the death of the seven-year-old. There has been some doubt that Mortal Kombat was the primary reason for the young girl’s death. Reports say that there was at least one incident in which Roberts was abusive towards Zoe Garcia when drinking. Finch’s prison sentence was changed after an agreement was reached that she would successfully take part in a six year youth offender program. Roberts’ sentencing is scheduled for January 16.

v_thorne Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Wow, no wonder the media have a field day with blaming games for violent teens and murders. People like this, and that guy who shot his parents for taking Halo 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InkedUp Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 What a moron. He isn't going to fair well in prison, they hate people that abuse or kill children. I guess he'll find out about the Mortal Kombat rape move once he goes in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elekid Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 On a lesser scale, when I was younger, I remember after the first TMNT movie came out, a couple of kids in NYC went into the sewers looking for them. It was on the news here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smejk Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Not funny. A little girl was murdered and you make jokes. Sad. Go get an education. She wasn't murdered. If she was murdered the guy would be charged with murder. She was accidentally killed... murder is deliberate and pre-meditated. Symantics... they getcha everytime.

phobzy85 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 That's sad to hear/see. Some people need to get their heads out from cloud 9 and realise the difference between reality and games. I heard about something similar to this with Halo 3 (2 cases). Just from forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really disgusts me that people think they can get away with shit like this. Get away with what? They were probably playfighting and the dude accidentally hit the girl. I'm sure it wasn't intentional otherwise why would it be from Mortal Kombat. Also, DC take no blame in this eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentyUK Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 (edited) On January 15, 2009, 19-year-old Lamar Roberts was sentenced to 36 years in prison in connection with the beating death of 7-year-old- Zoe Garcia. Garcia died of "blunt force injuries" in December of 2007, after Roberts and his girlfriend Heather Maria Trujillo, who were babysitting Garcia at the time, beat her while acting out movements from the video game Mortal Kombat. Roberts and Trujillo were babysitting Trujillo's younger sister, Zoe Garcia, on December 6, 2007. Roberts attacked Garcia and reenacted martial arts moves from the Mortal Kombat video game on the young girl. An autopsy found that Garcia had suffered over 20 injuries, including a broken wrist, internal bleeding and brain swelling. A witness reported that Roberts admitted that Garcia asked him to stop, but he didn't because he "was drunk." Whoever said playfighting and he accidently hit her... I'm sure one hit can cause 20 injuries in all different places?!? The idiot was drunk and just beat the crap out of her, no self control, people think they are invincible nowadays and that life is a game, the girl was 7 and now her life is over, it's sick, plain and simple.

Darklord Saige Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Sigh, this is why i'm a misanthropist. Another disgusting human trying to blame their actions on a video game. I'm sure it seemed entirely logical to practice shoto-kan and hapkido moves you learn from games on 7 year olds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
