Ohio Teen Killed Mom Over Video GameBy M.R. KROPKO, AP
ELYRIA, Ohio (Jan. 13) - Although a teenager's obsession with a violent video game may have warped his sense of reality, the boy is guilty of murdering his mother and wounding his father after they took "Halo 3" away from him, a judge ruled Monday.
Where did it say it was a pastor's son? I missed that, I guess.
While I was out of town for the holidays they had a teenage girl that had threatened to kill another cheerleader.
She couldn't seem to understand what the big deal was. She said, "I wasn't going to hurt her, I was just going to kill her". I wonder if these games and movies has taken reality away from these kids?

That's a shame, we live in a culture that teaches pulling the trigger has no repercussions what so ever. I saw a Star Wars game my kids had, you had to point the gun and shoot people coming at you. They are breaking down kids sense of reality and remorse. All the violent acts kids see everyday on tv for those that have cable, this world is turning into a scary place.

In the article it said his Dad was a minister, not a Pastor.

Too much unreality, reality in TV, movies, and video's.

Actually based on the quote from the judge I don't know why it did not fly either.
Premeditation is not so much a consideration in insanity, usually it goes more toward say reducing a charge from first degree murder to manslaughter.
The judge admitted he believed the child lived in a fantasy world and did not believe "they would be dead forever."
Would not be surprised if judge's comments give rise to excellent grounds to appeal the verdict.
But does that provide for a legal insanity defense? Or that the judge ruled wrongly?
And do all states have the same guidelines?
