Blaming video game fails for murder defense

August 9, 2005 by Tony 2 Comments

MSNBC reports that Devin Moore, the “GTA made me do it” Cop Killer, has been convicted of murder. (Seen first at Evil Avatar)

Jack Thompson’s crusade just took a mean one right on the chin. But it shouldn’t be about that buffoon. It should be about a mentally unstable young man who took the lives of 3 people. Hopefully justice will be served.

    Again, it just shows that Thompson is only effective outside of a courtroom, arguing to the press instead of a judge (since I’m assuming this will follow with his civil suit since it’s the same judge).

    Crud! I was going to use this defense for my next rampage. Oh well back to blaming my parents I guess.
