GREELEY — A teen charged in the death of a 7-year-old Johnstown girl during an alleged imitation of the “Mortal Kombat” video game has been sentenced to 36 years in prison.

Full report here

A teen charged in the death of a 7-year-old Johnstown girl during an alleged imitation of the "Mortal Kombat" video game has been sentenced to 36 years in prison.

Eighteen-year-old Lamar Roberts pleaded guilty last month to knowingly or recklessly causing a death through child abuse and was sentenced Friday.

Prosecutors alleged that Roberts and his 17-year-old girlfriend, Heather Trujillo, were baby-sitting Trujillo's half-sister Zoe Garcia on Dec. 6, 2007, when they kicked, hit and slammed Zoe to the floor during an imitation of the video game.

Trujillo pleaded guilty to negligently causing death through child abuse. She must serve six years in Colorado's youth offender system.

Funny how they're omitting the ever-so-minor detail that the two were drunk at the time...

And why the f*** is the girl getting such a light sentence, while the guy's getting f***ed over so badly, despite them doing the exact same thing?

Don't answer that anyone. It just makes me disgusted with some of our nation's DA's.

She was a minor (17) at the time, yes.

He was also a minor (16) at the time.

My little girl is 7. There would be nothing left of these two if I were THAT little girl's parent. There would be a picture of d21lewis being sentenced for his "Gears of War" style curb stomping of those two pieces of shit in the OP.
