Man Kills a Child with 'Mortal Kombat' Move, Pleads Guilty
This is so beyond stupid and negligent, it's truly sad to report....
Two teens have been charged as adults and accused of beating a seven year old girl to death while imitating the 'Mortal Kombat' video game.
Lamar Roberts, 18 years old and his girlfriend, Heather Trujillo, 17 years old, were babysitting her half-sister, Zoe Garcia, at her home, when they were wrestling, karate kicking, punching and goofing off.
However, court records also indicate that a witness saw Roberts kick and body slam Garcia, but didn't realize how severe his hits were because he was drunk.
Garcia lost consciousness.
The couple tried to wake her up by placing her in the bathtub, even cracking an egg in the child's mouth to make sure she "wasn't messing with them."
Autopsy report found Garcia with a broken wrist, 20 bruises and bleeding under the spine and in her brain.
Roberts has pleaded guilty to child abuse-knowingly/recklessly causing death, and Garcia's half-sister pleaded guilty to child abuse-negligently causing death. However, Trujillo's prison sentence is suspended if she completes six years in youth offender center (for teens who have committed a violent juvenile crime).
Again, this is a case that has nothing to do with a video game, but a person who clearly lacked good judgment. Karate kicking and punching a seven-year old is never a good idea.

Unless that child has clearly been possessed by the spirit of any director of any video game movie. Then, let the fucker have it.
