the girls 6 year old sister. They beat, kick, and slammed her to the floor, apparently imitating some moves from he game Mortal Kombat. The little girl died, and the sister was accused with negligently causing a death through child abuse, and was sentenced to six years in Colorado's youth offender recovery type of program. The 18 year old man was convicted of causing death through child abuse and is awaiting his sentencing that will take place in January.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28245235/
Mortal Kombat is an awesome game, some of the moves on it are really fun to attempt, from back flips to roundhouse kicks. But on a six year old girl? I can't believe that anybody could take an obsession this far. No maybe he didn't pull a Lu Kang finisher and shoot her with a fire bolt, but kicking her would probably be enough. There has been quite debate on violent video games effects on teens, and this just supports one side very heavily. I don't believe that they have a very significant effect, but this incident does start to sway me to believe the other way. So Finish Her?
