JOHNSTOWN, Colorado (AP) -- 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 December 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. http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/law/12/20/mortal.kombat.ap/index.html?eref=rss_topstoriesOriginally I thought it was another WWE attempt at wrestling and then I read the title again. Now I can't wait for someone to pull the "it's the game's fault" card here  |

Beh. Sad thing is when i was younger the wrestling was too cool and all the guys used to practice moves on their little siblings. What an unfortunate accident, however i wonder what they had used on her.

I wonder what moves they used...
Uppercut? Leg-sweep?
Or a fatality? I hope it wasn't kano's...
OK, maybe it is wrong for me to wonder because this is terrible. I can see the 17 year old male doing this but the 16 year old girl? Since when did girls play Mortal Kombat?

Now I can't wait for someone to pull the "it's the game's fault" card here Exactly Mic. Wait for Jack Thompson's response (he's the leading anti-videogame crusader). That man is a turd. |

Forget him, if Hilary Clinton read this story then her vendetta against video games will be reborn and she can forget reciting the speech on inauguration day. Plus, what these boys did wasn't nearly half as gory or cool as what the MK characters can do. |

I would love to get these two teens in front of me to see if they would survive more than 10 second in a "real life mortal combat" against me. I would take both at the same time anyday.
These kids are realy disgusting.
