On June 16/09 Daniel Petric(17) from Ohio was sentenced to life in prison(parole in 23yrs.) after shooting & killing his mother and severely wounded his father in October 2007.

Why you ask did he do this? He did it because they took away his Halo 3. That is right, he was banned from playing Halo!

He pleaded insanity claiming he was addicted to gaming thus should not have been responsible. The judge sort of bought it but still judged him.

Politicians will love using this just as they do with GTA and Marylyn Manson.

I for one am happy he is in jail but sadly, we gamers with our sanity will be annoyed the most.

Glad my mom did not get wind of this. “Stop playing that game(COD4) it will rot your brain!” Ugh, Yes MOM!

What do you think?

I think he got what he needed. Although, I am sure he already had something a little wrong with him to have went that far. I do not think Games or TV make anyone liek this on thier own. What is odd is my local news channel/papers talk about murder rapes abuse all the time and noone seems to blame them for anything...

You could have just put killing leads to life in prison. It doesn't matter why you killed the person.

Anyways, this guy should get 30 years with no parole in my opinion. He's not right mentally if he killed over a video game.
