This is but one reason I do not like video games ...
A judge has convicted an Elyria, Ohio teenager who shot and killed his mother and wounded his clergyman father over a video game dispute.
Defense attorneys for 17-year-old Daniel Petric didn't contest that Petric shot his parents in October 2007.
They insisted that the boy's youth and video game addiction made him less responsible.
But Lorain County Common Pleas Judge James Burge said Monday that is not a defense and there was evidence of prior calculation and planning.
Petric faces maximum penalty of life in prison without parole.
Prosecutors said Petric planned to kill his parents because he was angry that his father would not allow him to play the video game "Halo 3," in which players shoot alien monsters that have taken over the Earth.
