Man involved in Mortal Kombat killing pleads guilty


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Some people in this world are just fucking sick in the head. 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?

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.
