>Prosecutors said Tyrone Spellman, 27, killed Alayiah Turman in September 2006 with at least five blows to the head when she pulled down his Xbox console. The force of the blows cracked the toddler's skull several times.


Five skull crashing blowns for third-degree ONLY? I'd push for 2nd degree. beating a 1 yr old is cruel and disgusting and cowardly act.

I hope he never goes near a console ever again.

HeHe The closest he will get to a console will be by having a "Wiimote" shoved into his butt by a Mii named Leroy in prison.

The "degree" of the murder simply refers to the intent of the assailant. Just going by the details contained in the article, I'd say the prosecution may have had trouble proving malice aforethought.

Having said that, I entered this thread expecting to make a half-witty quip about "hardcore" gamers, but this is just horrible.

 Without throwing a lot of legal language that will confuse our other users. First-murder would be murder with intent, while second degree is 'ordinarily defined as 1) an intentional killing that is not premeditated or planned, nor committed in a reasonable "heat of passion"'

 so that's why I think the guy deserves second degree.

 Am I not correct here? (not a rhetorical question)

 It seems there was reasonable "heat of passion" as misplaced as that passion may have been. Loved his xbox more than his kid for a moment there. Disgusting, but apparently that is what happened.

 and for once, the "heat" wasn't from lack of cooling and overheating motherboard. At least Microsoft is off the hook!

 low jab? Thats one of the excellent benefits of the xbox! I play my 360 lots on cold winter nights because it heats up the place a few extra degrees. Maybe they didn't have proper heating and the guy was pissed their only source of heat was broken.

"Back off, man. I'm a scientist."

Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked.
